Description

US pressing on red with black smoke vinyl with printed innersleeve, 3D lenticular cover, printed innersleeve, poster and two track vinyl single.

Theatrical Swedish metal outfit Ghost returned in June of 2018 with their fourth sacred psalm, Prequelle. It marks the inaugural appearance of Cardinal Copia, the band’s latest frontman. Ghost “director” Tobias Forge divulged some details about the album in a recent interview. “It’s a themed album around medieval times, but it’s definitely clinging onto a lot of very current things,” he explained. “The Black Death [plague] is a great example of a turning point for a whole civilization. Complete villages were annihilated. Most people knew very little, so all of it was God or the Devil — and about their faith being questioned: Why are we being stricken down by this great scourge? It must be because of our not fearing God enough and all this superstitious bullshit.”
