10 Deep-Cut Ghost Songs That You Need To Listen To

2. Con Clavi Con Dio

Given that the band first rocked up to the party in their signature religious regalia, the pressure was on for them to back up their eye-catching image with solid tunes and the first track on their debut album Opus Eponymous definitely grabbed listeners by the throat when it first kicked in.

Starting with a throbbing bassline that promises greatness, it soon delivers on its initial set-up by assaulting the listener with a barrage of drums, guitars and keyboards that'll have everyone within a two-mile radius banging their heads like nobody's business.

The opening shout of 'Lucifer, we are here!' helps us know that we're firmly in the territory of camp and the following three minutes balance both the head-banging goodness of its backing track with the overtly silly nature of the lyrics and Tobias' high-pitched delivery.

Sadly absent from the band's latest tour cycle, Con Clavi Con Dio was consistently part of the band's opening triple threat, and whilst the likes of Rats and From the Pinnacle to the Pit do whip the crowd into a frenzy, there's nothing quite like that first barrage of noise when Con Clavi really gets going.
