The third EP from Papa Emeritus and his Nameless Ghouls commences with a punchy but forgettable, alt rock-leaning rendition of Television's post-punk classic "See No Evil." Ghost mastermind Tobias Forge has never been shy about his love for new wave -- the band has applied their dark arts to material by Echo & The Bunnymen, Depeche Mode, and Eurythmics -- and Phantomime peers more profoundly into the 20th century pop abyss than ever before. Buoyed by a searing rendition of Genesis' 1992 televangelism satire "Jesus He Knows Me" and a muscular and majestic take on Tina Turner's Mad Max-adjacent "We Don't Need Another Hero," Forge and company go full-tilt on their commercial aspirations while retaining enough papal shock rock weirdness to satiate their congregation.
