But, but, we're for immigration when it gives us doctors, nurses, carers, hospitality staff... we didn't vote Brexit just because of immigration - honest!
Ghost are interesting.
Metalheads can be rather fickle sometimes. Desperate for something new to come along after years of metalcore/screamo and when it does i.e. classic metal riffs and powerful clean vocals albeit with pop style hooks and lyrics about devil worship, they don't like it!
I saw them in Portland, OR in 2019 - absolutely fantastic live show.
Played in three pieces / one guitarist bands for years, pretty much my whole playing career.

Bass player has some sort of light/medium OD gain for solos to 'fill' it out. Also, lock in tight with the drums and keep the rhythm steady.
