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

10. Mummy Dust

Ever since the band's debut, people have argued back and forth as to whether Ghost is a metal band. There are certainly cases to be made that they're more akin to hard-rock than any other genre, but its tracks like Mummy Dust that manage to keep their detractors at bay by showing off the band's penchant for the heavy stuff.

Kicking off with a bevvy of thunderous drums and chugging guitars, this track hits the ground running and very rarely takes a second to breathe before launching straight back into its hammering assault. The heavy backing aside, Tobias Forge shows off a different side to his vocals with a gravelly and overall more sinister approach. The lyrics are the usual occult silliness but delivered with greater intensity.

A staple of their live shows since the Meliora days, Mummy Dust is always guaranteed to bring the house down, and in the eyes of many Ghost fans, its live incarnation is far superior to the studio recording. Not only due to its added ferocity but because Tobias goes full hell-for-leather with his impressive death metal growls, which leaves us all wondering why they're so underutilised in the rest of the band's discography.
