The Swedish band Ghost have unveiled, ‘Twenties’, the latest cut off their upcoming album, ‘Impera’. and when i heard it, said to myself; #WTF, did they just create a symphonic reggeaton’? (scroll and listen )
The single offers listeners a new look into the Swedish metal outfit’s growth, as they meld together strong guitar riffs with a reggaeton beat and dramatic orchestral instruments.
In a recent interview with Apple Music, Ghost founder and vocalist Tobias Forge shared that the song was inspired by a Brazilian performance that he had seen on TV years ago that featured aggressive vocals over a reggaeton melody.
“It was one of the most musically aggressive things I’ve ever seen. I come from death metal, black metal, punk, where we’re obviously thriving on the idea of being violent – but this was sort of like a party,” -Said Forge.
