Impera

'Impera' finds Ghost transported literally hundreds of years forward from the 14th century Europe Black Plague era of its previous album - 2018's 'Best Rock Album' Grammy nominee - '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.
