Love them or hate them, there’s no denying that Sweden’s Ghost<\/a><\/strong> is one of the biggest rock bands around. With a highly distinctive musical and visual aesthetic, as well as a dedication to consistently entertaining and intriguing lore, it’s no wonder why their fanbase has grown monumentally since 2010’s Opus Eponymous<\/em>. So, it was only a matter time before they got their own movie\u20142024’s Rite Here Rite Now<\/em>, which we loved<\/a>\u2014and corresponding soundtrack. Although it’s an impeccably performed and captured overview of Ghost<\/a><\/strong><\/strong>‘s newer material, the lack of earlier content and live rawness makes it simultaneously great and somewhat needless and incomplete.<\/p>\n Recorded across two nights at Los Angeles’ Kia Forum in September of 2023, Rite Here Rite Now<\/em> is as pristinely recorded and evenly mixed as you could imagine. Mastermind Tobias Forge<\/a> <\/strong>sings as purely and charismatically as ever, and the band (including numerous backing singers) are equally clear and capable. As a result, it feels like you’re perfectly situated within the center of the show, with the music in front of you and the muffled cheers of the crowd coming from every other direction.<\/p>\n \n
