GHOST released their latest album, “Impera”, last week and are now streaming the 10th chapter in their story called “Home Coming & Special Guests”.
A homecoming of sorts, the episode finds Papa Emeritus IV (formerly Cardinal Copia) returning home to the ministry as well as welcoming in a new character.
It’s a fun watch and can be seen below..
In other GHOST news, the band are now streaming the “Halloween Kills” version of their song “Hunter’s Moon” which appeared in the movie’s soundtrack. You can check that out at this location.
According to a press release, the group’s new album “Impera” “finds GHOST transported literally hundreds of years forward from the 14th century Europe Black Plague era” of its previous album, 2018’s “Prequelle”. “The result is the most ambitious and lyrically incisive entry in the GHOST canon: Over the course of ‘Impera”s 12-song cycle, empires rise and fall, would-be messiahs ply their hype (financial and spiritual alike), prophecies are foretold as the skies fill with celestial bodies divine and man-made… All in all, the most current and topical GHOST subject matter to date is set against a hypnotic and darkly colorful melodic backdrop making ‘Impera’ a listen like no other — yet unmistakably, quintessentially GHOST.”
Produced by Klas Åhlund and mixed by Andy Wallace, “Impera” consists of the following 12 songs:
01. Imperium
02. Kaisarion
03. Spillways
04. Call Me Little Sunshine
05. Hunter’s Moon
06. Watcher In The Sky
07. Dominion
08. Twenties
09. Darkness At The Heart Of My Love
10. Griftwood
