Infestissumam Review Blog!! (a simple one at that)

Hi there! im Spider_Haven, and I am here to talk about my favorite album! Today, i am here to talk about Ghost's Infestisumam. (mixed by Nick Rasculinecs, ) (Preformed by Papa Emertius II and a group of Nameless Ghouls) Can we just rave about how amazing, this album is? I cannot be more ecstatic to talk about it. We begin with the beautifully haunting TRACK, Infestisumam The beginning of the songs vocals that just lead to the powerful instrumental, and guitar it is just so moving. As if one into battle. i enjoy how it goes into our next beloved track... Per Aspera An Inferi.. the way it feels when listening to it, is amazingly trippy. I simply implore the 60s trippy, and renaissance vibes i feel on this track... let Alone the whole album! it feels so strong with its sounds, and filled with stride! Truly a classic. Secular Haze, also featured on If You Have Ghost, has a dark, carnival, and evil feel. Definitely one to remember, with the beginning lyrics. One can faithfully say, that papa can beyond any doubt, can summon the fog weaver. Now, another classic. Jigolo Har Megiddo. Now, this song without fail, is catchy. One simply can feel the atmosphere fill with vile delight, as we here Papa sing, in the most pacifying way, sing so seductively. Like many of Ghosts songs, this also sounds bewildering.. Now to talk about an paradigmatic song in my opinion.. Ghuleh/Zombie Queen. I am one to believe, that many Ghost fans, can agree how beautiful this entire track is. It is so somber, and sweet sounding in the beginning. I have confidence to say, hearing this for the first time when i first got into Ghost, it was utterly breath talking, how it transitioned to such a dominate piece such as Zombie Queen. Year Zero, is one i think many fans like to hear.. How striking it begins with the vocals, (i enjoy the vocals in Ghost, they truly are mesmerizing!!!! I will more then likely, always maunder about how much i enjoy hearing them, and Papa sing.. The way it ends with such a somber, somewhat nostalgic renaissance feel... Hail Satan! For Body and Blood, i can not rave more over how groovy this song is, and just makes me want to dance!! Totally, a song to remember, and one to get down dirty with.. Idolatrine, is also a favorite of mine on this album. How can it not? it is catchy, and all i can think of the terrific evil vibes i get from it! I could listen to it all day if I could. Don't look into the Depth of Satans Eyes.. for you truly will be entranced by this track! It is a wonderful depiction of Classic Sixties music, and the keyboard in it is absolutely wild! I cannot get over it. Can you hear, the Monstrance Clock? I do! A wonderful way to end such a great Album, when i first heard this song, i couldn't get enough. the way Papa sings is absolutely soul stirring... The way he performs it, is one to hear in awe! the way it pauses before 'As the parish sighs in smoke Enters lady, revealed of cloak To the haunting sound of the monstrance clock Singing' is so heart stopping... ' How thrilling!!!

Now we move onto Our hidden tracks, if you have the Cd Deluxe! But you can also find the tracks online, so don't worry if you don't have the deluxe album! :) La Montra Mori.. Such a spooky, yet beautiful song. it is one to entice! Or just lure you into that beautiful sound, and peaceful feeling it brings.. This is one of my few, top songs on this album for sure. Now,, of Course how can we forget??? For all... Papa is just a little marionette.. Im a Marionette, also featured on the If you Have Ghost album, is so moving.. and melancholy. One that could be soothing to some! It i would say, is also one that many fans can enjoy.

This fugue tugs at my heartstrings in a way that only Wolfgang could. When I first heard the unfinished 1791 sketch, it truly drove me to utter tears. Maunder’s completion is a beautiful beautiful work. I personally believe this Amen fugue would have been Mozart’s GREATEST piece if he had finished it. I love fugues, and Mozart, and Requiem/Funeral Masses, so all of this is a beautiful sobbing mess.

My current obession! I listen to it while I'm cleaning at work 🤣🤣. I find nothing wrong with listening to a Mass for the Dead every day, it's very much in the Catholic style of "momento mori" anyways!😅

Two weeks ago my fave part was the Amen fugue (arrenged by Maunders completion of the Mass).

Last week it was the Introitus. (Which THEN led me to obsess over Handel's "The ways of Zion do Mourn," Wofferl's inspiration for the Requiem. )

This week week it's Domine Jesu. The little "quam olim Abrahae" fugue bit is on anotherrrr level 🎶☺👌👌👌

I know it was written for a funeral mass, but Mozart's Requiem in D Minor is just the best.
