GHOST
Chapter 20: Arrival Of A Secret Agent
New Webisode Live HERE 

SKELETÁ IN STORES APRIL 25

Following the rapture generated by the announcement of the imminent release of SKELETÁ, GHOST now unveils a brand new webisode: the ominously titled Chapter 20: Arrival Of A Secret Agent is the latest installment of the ongoing Chapters series that, along with the feature film RITE HERE RITE NOW and the SISTER IMPERATOR comic book, continues to add to the canon of GHOST lore.

Chapter 20 checks in on recently replaced GHOST frontman Papa Emeritus IV — now rechristened Frater Imperator and promoted to “boss” of the Ministry — as he navigates the aftermath of his stint in the spotlight and begins to cultivate a less than healthy obsession with his replacement — and fraternal twin —  Papa V Perpetua. Chapter 20 features the debut of a number of new characters likely to be integral to the new storyline, including Mrs. Psaltarian and Judith the socialist media manager. The new chapter also offers a look at the inner office environment of the Ministry, a setting that’s sure to serve as the stage for crucial developments impacting the lives and lore of GHOST and its millions of fans worldwide.

Papa V Perpetua was revealed to the world during the climactic final seconds of the video for “Satanized,” the â€œcatchy goth-rock epic” (VICE) first single from SKELETÁ, the anxiously awaited new GHOST album out April 25 via Loma Vista Recordings. Trending #2 across YouTube upon its premiere and propelling SKELETÁ the top of pre-order / pre-save charts the world over, “Satanized” has been instant and profound in its singular impact, with critical notices including:

“… finds the band’s trademark occult rock sounding as equally eerie and triumphant as ever” â€” BROOKLYN VEGAN

“… sees Ghost fully embracing their melodic-AOR side”— CONSEQUENCE

“… a revolutionary video… a great new song”— LOUDWIRE

“… big swingin’ riffs, a face-melting guitar solo and an overall sense of dread… and I am here for it” â€” METAL INJECTION

“… it’s big, anthemic, and catchy as hell” â€” METAL SUCKS

“… rapturously anthemic… Ghost’s awe-inspiring new era (#1 Best New Songs)”— REVOLVER

“On full-length album Skeletá, Forge slips into a new, hauntingly intimate theme: humanity. Across high-pitched soprano choirboys and electric guitar power chords, a cataclysmic tale of morality and humanity ensues.” â€” ROLLING STONE

“… they continue to do their brand of occult rock better than anyone else, and certainly on such an impressive mainstream level… It’s unholy, retro and almost hallucinatory” â€” VICE

The release of “Satanized” and breaking news of SKELETÁ’s impending arrival were accompanied by the debut of The Satanizer, a first of its kind music video experience for fans who wish to be “Satanized.” Developed in partnership with Jason Zada (Elf Yourself), The Satanizer morphs its users into characters featured in the song’s melodramatic video. With a quick upload of their photo, The Satanizer sends out a personalized music video clip featuring the participant, who can in turn share via social media that they too have been “Satanized.” To date, The Satanizer has generated over 125,000 creates with a staggering 96% conversion (generate to save ratio) and over 5.5M impressions worldwide.
