Well as far as demo's go this is the clearest and most similar to the official recording of any demo I've ever heard... But that being said the majority of demo's I've heard are from black metal bands where they recorded with a potato and all you can really hear is tons of noise, sounds that sound like people dragging tables along floors above you, or punching things while underwater, because they're so muffled. So yeah this Is kinda strange for me that it sounds so similar to the songs in the first album. Honestly the really rough demo's are probably more interesting because they're more unique. But this is interesting too!

I think that’s mostly personal preference/bias speaking. Even now as of Impera Ghost retains its atmosphere. What changed was what time period of music is being paid homage to. You probably just prefer early heavy metal to 80s arena rock.

This demo album goes beast mode🤘🤘 I first discovered Ghost BC back in 2013 when their 2nd album came out. Saw the thumbnail of Papa Emeritus II for their video of Secular Haze and I fell madly in love with them. The way the video was made to look like an old TV show appearance and the swirling circus sounds od the keyboard blew my mind.

every year, at least once in a few months, i re-listen this album. Stunning mix of garage and cult theme. I will actually believe, that it was an album from some cultist band, that was found deep in burned and sieged by feds house. 10/10
