The band’s sixth studio album is the first Hard Rock effort to reach the top spot on the album survey since AC/DC’s “Power Up” in ’20.
“Skeletá,” “described as Ghost’s “most unflinchingly introspective work to date” follows the band’s ’22 studio album “Impera.”
.
The set features the singles ““Satanized,” “Lachryma” and Peacefield.”
Satanized
Lachryma
The “Satanized” music video introduced Papa V Perpetua, who is fronting Ghost on its ’25 touring cycle.
“Lachryma;” the second single, “comes off as somewhat of a ‘typical’ Ghost mash-up, where it’s heavy on one end and met with a big, bombastic chorus,” frontman Tobias Forge told Metal Hammer. “That’s a song about self-deceit.”
