Ghost Release ‘Skeletá Out Now

 

 

 

GHOST
SKELETÁ OUT NOW

NEW SINGLE PEACEFIELD LIVE NOW

 

 

 

“Arguably the most mature work the level of the Devil has ever seen, Skeleta conveys a new level of Ghost that is built on foundations of the past that could never foresee this kind of future. Emotionally charged and primed for total world domination, Skeleta will transcend the psalms yet to be written to be scripture audiences will return to for decades to come.” – The Live Wire, 10/10

“Skeletá is an album of contrasts that burrows deeper with chamelonic charm on every returning listen. A kaleidoscope of lush retro instrumentation, swooning ballads, throwback rock, and plenty of show-stopping moments from Forge…” – The Soundcheck

“With Skeletá, Ghost have delivered one of their most emotionally resonant and musically adventurous albums to date. It’s a journey in every sense—rich with sonic detail, narrative flow, and standout moments that will linger long after the final note. Tracks like “Peacefield,” “Lachryma,” “Satanized,” “Marks Of The Evil One,” and “Umbra” are among the strongest the band has ever written, each one adding a distinct voice to the album’s beautifully haunting story.” – Metal On Tap

Ghost’s sixth studio album, Skeletá, finds mastermind Tobias Forge once again reaching beyond expectations and genre definitions to craft an introspective, cinematic experience.” – Spotlight Report
“…this is ten bangers with no filler.” – Wall Of Sound

 

“SKELETÁ: GHOST’s Most Haunting Psalm Yet—A Spectral Symphony of Soul & Shadows.” – Hear 2 Zen, 10/10

“It’s lush, grandiose and sounds worthy of how huge Ghost are.” – HiFi Way

 

Following what seemed an interminable wait to its global legion of fans, GHOST’s excruciatingly anticipated new album, SKELETÁ, is at long last out today, April 25, via Loma Vista Recordings. 
 
 
 

The lead up to SKELETÁ’s full release has been punctuated by a cavalcade of world-spanning events that have only elevated the fervor of the album’s exuberant welcome. This week alone witnessed the unveiling of the recorded version of Peacefield, the monolithic anthem opening both the new record and the sold-out arena performances comprising the first leg of the SKELETOUR WORLD TOUR 2025. The faithful also assembled in full regalia for SKELETÁ-Eve Midnight Sales celebrating the arrival of the band’s sixth psalm at close to 150 record stores around the globe. With demand for the midnight mass events far exceeding the number of suitable physical locations, GHOST’s added live-streamed SKELETÁ Rockin’ Eve event took the invocation of the new offering to devotees in all corners of the world, ensuring that not a single fan was left out of the festivities.

The coming of SKELETÁ was previously heralded by first single Satanized—dubbed a “catchy goth-rock epic” by VICE—and the rapturously received Lachryma—deemed “economical, vicious, and contemporary, but tinged by ‘80s rhapsody” by PASTE and “phantasmagoric” by REVOLVER. Both advance tracks have remained perched atop streaming music and video charts, thanks to GHOST’s singularly passionate following that includes more than 10 million combined Spotify monthly listeners and YouTube subscribers.

As if all of the above was not enough, GHOST’s blockbuster SKELETOUR WORLD TOUR 2025 opened to overwhelmingly ecstatic critical and popular reception from the moment the first notes of Peacefield filled the AO Arena in Manchester UK with deafening applause on the tour’s April 15 opening night. Featuring the flesh and bone debut of frontman Papa V Perpetua, the SKELETOUR WORLD TOUR 2025 is the most staggeringly ambitious incarnation of the GHOST live ritual to date. Having completed a string of sold out arena shows across the UK, the tour is currently making its way through the European territories, presaging a North American campaign that will begin July 9 in Baltimore and include GHOST‘s historic first-ever headlining show at New York’s hallowed Madison Square Garden on July 22. With more shows to be announced soon, the SKELETOUR WORLD TOUR 2025 ritual experience promises to expand the GHOST community to attract its largest and most diverse audiences to date. From lifelong disciples to the curious uninitiated first-timers to the outcasts and others who find solace in the ritual, all are welcome to escape the travails of daily life and to become one with the enthralling spectacle hailed by KERRANG on opening night in Manchester as “bones and wings and sparkling and bedazzled macabre glory… f***ing brilliant.”
  
The tour’s kick-off also marked the world premiere of GTV, the new channel dedicated to exclusive coverage of all things GHOST and SKELETOUR. Join host Vanessa Warwick as she welcomes any and all to join the Ghoulbangers’ Ball for in-depth and behind the scenes coverage available only HERE.
