GHOST - Meliora
CD
Enter Papa Emeritus. The world he knew, has changed. Called Moloch by some, the great industrial machine has been grinding away, grinding everything and everyone down in the process. Spies are everywhere. Everything is mediated, pre-packaged, and pressure sealed, your lives pre-ordained. The gods are all dead. Even art is pure commodity. But some still fight, quietly at first, but soon they will rise and make the glorious noise of the ancients, donning their masks, these nameless ghouls led by Papa Emeritus. Above the shining city of Meliora, dirigibles float like angels, ever watchful. Papa Emeritus is gathering his new flock under the streets. He is a shepherd of black sheeps, the sewers are his cathedral. In darkness they follow the path of the hero’s journey, the necessary travel to the underworld to become transfigured, to become something new. The journey is always painful, and some are left behind, but you cannot turn back to see what has been sacrificed. Along the way, his followers try to name him their god, but Papa Emeritus teaches that he is only the mask, the voice.
