  • A Dream of Poe

    Hello!
    The new Album “The Mirror of Deliverance” will be released in February 25th through ARX Prod. and it’s now available for Pre-Orders on our Myspace and Website!

    Besides the highly acclaimed song “Lady of Shalott”, which got great reviews all over the world, this album features 6 songs, from which 5 of them were never released before!

    For only €11 with free shipping included, this album comes in a luxurious Digipack with a 12 page booklet designed by Augusto Peixoto.

    Visit our Myspace to Pre-order our new Album! All the previous works are also there, available for free download!

    Quotes about “The Mirror of Deliverance”:

    ""Os Vultos" it’s a melo-recitation song in Portuguese with a moody guitar riff ... Its calm and has an excellent spiritual stability ... With brutal vocals comes a drama accompanied with a sublime melody only to turn calm again. It’s remarkably calm, warm and very minimal with a long guitar solo involved in reverb and echo. It’s beautiful in this gentle that radiates in every second. 10/10” In Melodic Metal Sound

    “The melodic riff from songs like “Neophyte” and “Os Vultos” has enough quality to compete with the big names of Doom Metal genre.” In Sound(/)Zone Magazine

    “It is with an excellent mix between sensual melody, anger and desolation that A Dream of Poe signs a work worthy of the biggest names of this genre. And it promises to be for posterity.” In Via Nocturna

The roaring sounds and laughter throughout the late hours, called upon Asbjørn Wiik's attention. With a third member now in place, it was about time to find a drummer to complete the bill….

A year and a half later, after having tried out numerous drummers they finally found what they were looking for. A hard hitting and loud kicking drummer of destruction. His name is Petter “chris” Lein. Through him, Ghost where now finally a four piece band.

With a new location just outside Oslo Ghost could continue to make music history!

In summer 2006, Asbjørn called it a quit and retired as bass player. He may be lost for Ghost, but not from the family.
