J. Cowdell Each album Ghost release, they just keep getting better & better. The 80s vibe running throughout this album is contagious. Favorite track: Spillways.

Markye Mi favorito absoluto es Watcher in The Sky. El resto me gusta, pero para mí no hay comparación.

My absolute favourite is Watcher in The Sky. The rest feels nice, but for me there is no comparison. Favorite track: Watcher In The Sky.

flowingjuffowup This album is just wall to wall greatness. Kaisarion, Spillways, Little Sunshine and Griftwood in particular are incredible but it's just all so good. They do everything I loved about Def Leppard musically, but add so much more lyrically and theatrically. If they ever snag a one armed drummer it's game over. Favorite track: Griftwood.

    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.


    Produced by Klas Åhlund and mixed by Andy Wallace.

about

Ghost’s fifth psalm, “IMPERA”, is their most biting and political yet. And that from a band who has toppled many a church in just under a decade of existence. The dozen songs take on themes of isolation and demigod worship, as well as colonization of both space and mind. The songs are critical, yet sympathetic, to a new world order. Dominated by despots both real imagined…digital and of the flesh. The new leader Papa IV, has stirred yet is not shaken. Building himself up to lead Ghost to further global domination. In his way are not only the vestiges of a global plague but his confidence as the person to deliver on the promise and messages of these songs. As we head into our third year of these ‘20s. the world is poised for new hope and new direction. And for this, legions of Ghost fans await Papa IV’s first moves.
