Ghost comes to mind. I’ve never had a problem with them and a lot of their songs I think are pretty good. Seems like they get shit on a lot though.

    I can’t listen to Ghost because someone said they sounded like Scooby-Doo chase music.

    Gotcha. Ghost is a metal pop concept band, where the front man is an ongoing chain of satanic antipopes (while still being the same dude in face paint). Only they are all really bad at converting the world to Satan worship on account of doing the actual work is no fun, and what's the point of being the satanic antipope if you aren't gonna have fun.

    Sounds great! Only... Metalheads are like "this isn't metal" and they're kinda right. Its pop music, but metal and satanic.

    Also, the front man may have fucked over his bandmates, or maybe not, depends really. I'm inclined to say his behavior may have been shitty, but that's something you should work out beforehand.

    As a metal head, I didn't understand Ghost for the longest time. I didn't hate it, but "this isn't metal" was my exact thought, lol. Took me a few tries before I finally thought they were "okay". Then I went to see them live, and now they're probably in my top 15 bands.

    A lot of fellow metal heads out there don't like it when music is fun enough to be enjoyed by people who don't keep a closet full of long-sleeved band shirts. A couple years ago I ran into an old coworker at a Fleshgod Apocalypse show and they got angry when I asked if they were interested in tagging along to an upcoming Dethklok show.

    I love that it sounds like dark 80s pop. I have a friend that I told square hammer was about Freemasonry because he's a mason. Took like 2 years of listening to it before he really caught the lyrics.
