Ghost have announced their fifth studio album.
The follow-up to 2018's 'Prequelle' is called 'Impera' and will arrive on March 11 via Loma Vista Recordings.
Produced by Klas Åhlund and mixed by Andy Wallace, the record takes the theatrical rockers hundreds of years forward from its predecessor, which was built around the historic events of the Black Death. Introducing it, Ghost said: "We're building our empire from the ashes of an old."
It'll include the 2021 track Hunter's Moon—which is released as a 7" vinyl single this Friday (January 21)—along with the newly shared first official single Call Me Little Sunshine, a down-tempo yet catchy, atmospheric song with doomy riffs. Head below to view its bizarre cinematic video, directed by Matt Mahurin and starring Ruby Modine.
Ghost will kick off the North American co-headline Imperatour with Volbeat later in January. Following that, they'll headline the UK and European leg with special guests Uncle Acid and the Deadbeats, and Twin Temple, starting on April 9 at Manchester's AO Arena, followed by stops at The O2 in London, Glasgow's OVO Hydro and Birmingham's Resorts World Arena.
