New Ghost Music Coming Soon
We will see new music coming from Ghost sooner than we think. Frontman Tobias Forge said that he is eyeing a winter 2020/2021 release for new music from the band, noting that the bands planned March 2021 tour has been postponed.
In an interview with Swedens VK, frontman Tobias Forge spoke about how the bands new music won’t be a pandemic based album, saying “I have already made a record about God’s wrath and doomsday, even if ‘Prequelle’ was not about just infection from a medical perspective. But I have a feeling that there will be plenty of doomsday and quarantine-confirming records in the future [from other bands], and I think I might not participate in it.”
Tobias was also asked if Ghost would scale down their shows, however Forge said “We have played with the idea of ​​perhaps playing in a smaller context if it is an alternative. But my purpose in playing live with Ghost is not to do it at any price, because that’s not what people want to see. People want to see a show. It’s not just that I show up and it’s done, quite the opposite.”
In a previous interview with 1428 elm from 2019, Tobias mentioned that he had an album in mind with “Slightly more riffage” than 2018’s ‘Prequelle’.
“I always say that each new album is like a reaction to each of the previous so since Prequelle is not a hard rock or heavy, heavy metal album, the natural reaction to that will be to write something that isn’t — I don’t want to use the word ‘soft.’ It will be different from Prequelle, the same way Prequelle was different from Meliora, etc. I’ll write a record that we don’t have yet, because otherwise what’s the point? But I definitely have an album in mind with slightly more riffage.”
