Hi guys,

I've been listening a lot to Ghost's new album "Meliora" and am trying to break down the song "Mummy Dust".

The song is tuned a whole step down. Looking at some of the riffs, it looks as though it's written in D- locrian, although I may be way off here. Some of the chord changes are unusual and I hear plenty of the tri-tone interval being employed, to obvious dark effect.

Can anyone expand on this?

Thanks

Iscar.
