Popestars perform pop hymns recorded by Ghost that glorify and glamorise the disgusting and sacrilegious.
Popestars are the original UK Chapter of the devil worshipping ministry of Ghost, that in order to spread its unholy gospels and, furthermore, trick mankind into believing the end is ultimately a good thing, have decided to use the ever so popular rock music medium as a way to achieve their ends.
Summoned by TotalRock radio on the summer solstice of 2018 in the grucifix cave within the mount of Tigguo Cobauc to perform the gospel of ‘Meliora’ at the chapel of The Angel above the cave. This performance caused the longest lunar eclipse in a century, turning the blue moon blood red and drawing Mars to its closest point with Earth.
Five Ghouls were sent by satan and whilst they remain nameless, these ghouls are special as they have been secretly infiltrating the heavy metal bands of the UK, you may have already unknowingly been in their presence! These include such acts as Cradle of Filth, Tigertailz, Evil Scarecrow, Kid Klumsy, Forgotten Remains, Emperor Chung, Patriot Rebel, NG26, Blackwater Conspiracy, Luna's Call, and Badaxe!
To prepare for sermon refer to the five gospels, ‘Opus Eponymous’, ‘Infestissumam’, ‘Meliora’, ‘Prequelle’ and 'Impera'. For further listening refer to the books of ‘If You Have Ghost’, ’Popestar’, ’Ceremony And Devotion’, 'Seven Inches of Satanic Panic' and 'Phantomime'.
