The original master was quite quiet, although the instruments were actually fairly well defined despite having a bit too much presence on the treble. I've widened the sound a little bit, so it feels more epic, more live. Although, again, the upper range is slightly narrower than the original master, because I felt it was too overbearing. Now, I know what you're thinking - 'how can you have overbearing and Ghost in the same sentence?' They are, after all, a wonderful exercise in excess. Silly excess, but excess nonetheless. In salute of this, there's a much stronger guitar presence on this version and more attack on the bass generally. It's been a while since I saw the band live myself, but I've tried to bring this master as close as I could to capturing their live sound. Ghost are a fun band, but they are, when all is said and done, a metal band. And one needs to be able to headbang to metal, which one cannot do if the guitars are as buried as they were on the original master. I have edited out DJ chatter. In some places I've had to move crowd noise around in order to compensate. I've made no other 'executive creative decisions' other than this. I hope it isn't too disappointing.
