Review by Ambar Johnson

Clockwork is the fourth studio album by Swedish rock band Ghost, released in 2018. The album features a mix of heavy metal and hard rock, with a dash of prog-rock influences. The band's signature sound is still present, with catchy riffs, haunting melodies, and theatrical vocals.

The album opens with the epic track "Ashes," which sets the tone for the rest of the album. The song features a choir of children singing a haunting melody, which leads into a heavy guitar riff. Other standout tracks include "Rats," which features a catchy chorus and a groovy guitar riff, and "Dance Macabre," which has a disco-inspired beat and a sing-along chorus.

The album also features some slower, more atmospheric tracks, such as "Pro Memoria" and "Life Eternal." These songs showcase the band's ability to create haunting, emotional ballads that still fit within the context of the album.

Summary by Ambar Johnson

Clockwork is a solid addition to Ghost's discography. The band has managed to evolve their sound while still staying true to their roots. The album is well-produced, with each instrument and vocal track standing out in the mix. Fans of Ghost's previous work will not be disappointed, and newcomers to the band will find plenty to enjoy.
