The Abbey

Finland's The Abbey debuted in 2023 with Word Of Sin, an album that might best be described as a somewhat slower, slightly more theatrical version of old Ghost. There are faint occult traces (organs and the like) and a vocal style that is the most Papa-like aspect of the band, even though this band accomplishes this with a male/female vocal pair. There's a fair bit to like here, particularly but not exclusively for Ghost fans, but Word Of Sin seems more of a case of potential, as the band may be still finding its footing.
