Surely this can’t be right. Hammer is awaiting an audience with a Nameless Ghoul from the Swedish Devil-worshipping cult of Ghost, half-expecting to be blindfolded and ridden to the ruins of a deconsecrated church for a clandestine rendezvous with the masked and robed…

From an artistic perspective, Andy finds the idea of such things “for the sake of numbers to be pretty hollow”, even if he gets the maths on it. But in this case, there’s a deeper connection. “Robb was one of the first people in a respected metal band to go, ‘Hey, this band’s fucking awesome, and you guys are wrong about them,’” says Andy. “That was really revelatory for us, because all of a sudden we started getting kind of shit on in the U.S. press, and…
