“Bon Jovi for Goth Dads” is the other one I enjoy. I love Ghost, Tobias writes exactly the music he wants. Not trying to be metal, he was heavily influenced by og heavy metal (Sabbath) and the theatrics of the glam/hair metal era (Kiss). Combine the two and ya, that’s just Ghost.
It’s very intentionally campy and fun, like year round Halloween.
To their defense, I think they are really self aware. The campiness and the theatrics are all intentional. It almost has a musical (the broadway kind) aspect to it. 5FDP actually believe they are hard.
Ghost is in the same boat. Don’t get me wrong, they write some great songs, but they are perilously close to pop
I’ve seen Ghost described as “Spooky ABBA” and somehow it kinda checks out. Not even mad, ABBA is great and so is Ghost
