Hell’s Pleasure Metalfest announced they were adding Ghost to the bill in a 12.8.2010 FaceBook post. It would be a big festival, the ticket sale was set to go through July 7th was ended on the 4th so the festival could hold back 800 tickets to sell at the door.[1]
Ghost took the stage at 10pm[1]
“GHOST have many fans among the visitors to Hells Pleasure, in any case the pressure on the front rows increases considerably as the performance begins, because everyone wants to get a look at the five robers and the Pope. It is the latter in particular who largely determines the Swedes' performance with his gestures and singing. His gestures of blessing and his movements convey a dignity that is effectively caricatured by the lyrics and the black men in the background, resulting in complete blasphemy.
The only problem: GHOST definitely need more song material in order to be able to vary the setlist more. Thanks to their rehearsed performance, the show is almost exactly the same as the one in Berlin. If GHOST want to stay relevant in the long term, they need more variety.” -Wizardkira (via Microsoft Translator)[2]
