IMPERA by Ghost

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.
