Swedish social gathering spooks Ghost have uploaded the newest of their ongoing video sequence, which fleshes out and stitches collectively the narrative surrounding Tobias Forge’s ghastly crew. In Chapter 14: Highway Journey, we see Ghost singer Cardinal Copia/Papa Emeritus IV driving alongside Sister Imperator, Mr. Salterian and the ghostly visage of the deceased Papa Nihil (when you have no concept what is going on on at this level, you finest skip again to the primary chapter of the sequence and begin over).
Over the area of three quick minutes, we get all types of shenanigans happening, together with however not restricted to: The Cardinal having to drag over after farting within the automotive (sure, actually), the entire gang having to drag over after Papa Nihil sharts within the automotive (oh sure, actually), the gang making an trustworthy however doomed try and play the alphabet sport utilizing band names and, most tantalisingly of all, Mr. Salterian hinting that he is aware of when Papa Emeritus IV’s “time is up”. Might the newest incarnation of Ghost’s Papal frontmen already be on his manner out?
Along with all that, we see Papa Nihil cheekily acknowledge the unbelievable second wind (no pun meant) of Ghost’s 2019 single Mary On A Cross. The monitor was initially launched because the b-side to the band’s Kiss The Go-Goat single, however has taken on new life this yr courtesy of an enormous TikTok development. With nearly 170 million streams on Spotify alone, it is change into Ghost’s greatest track ever.
“I’ve heard my songs are trending on ‘TikToks’,” Nihil muses, seemingly oblivious to what any of that really means.
Anyway, we are able to solely actually try to clarify the video up to now; you are in all probability finest off watching it for your self beneath. Ghost lately unveiled a spate of European tour dates for 2023, together with a run with Spiritbox via France and a smattering of competition dates, with extra anticipated to be introduced.
