Meliora

"Meliora" (Latin for the pursuit of something better) is the third full-length album by Swedish heavy metal band Ghost. The album was produced by Klas Åhlund and released on August 21, 2015. It marked the retiring of lead vocalist Papa Emeritus II's stage name, who now goes by Papa Emeritus III. Following their debut album Opus Eponymous which is about the coming of the Antichrist and Infestissumam which is about the presence of the Antichrist, Meliora's main theme is "the absence of god." The cover is based on the movie poster of Fritz Lang's Metropolis. Meliora debuted at number eight on the Billboard 200 chart, with an estimated 29,000 copies sold in its first week.
