GHOST TO RELEASE NEW ALBUM “IMPERA” ON MARCH 11TH, VIDEO FOR NEW SONG “CALL ME LITTLE SUNSHINE” AVAILABLE NOW
Ghost will release their fifth album, Impera, on March 11th through Loma Vista/Concord. The official music video for the LP’s latest single, Call Me Little Sunshine, is out now and can be seen below.
According to a press release, 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”

Love it!! As I’m sure my brother from another mother (Rattlehead) will! 😉 Great song!
Right you are, Doug! I love the song!
And, separately, today I received an email from Ghost/Loma Vista to let me know that the Ghost colored vinyl items I ordered are in the process of being mailed to me. Can’t wait! Colored vinyl is so cool!
I love colored vinyl, too.
Sounds similar enough, especially to songs from the last few albums, yet it is also decidedly different.
Tobias Forge & I guess the producers are good at this.
The woman in the video reminds me of Rose the Hat from the Stephen King novel “Doctor Sleep.”
Good song, every time I hear Ghost I get the BÖC influence. The video so steampunk.
I ran directly to church after hearing it !
Album cover is obviously influenced by Eddie/Iron Maiden artwork.
