With the coronation of Papa V. Perpetua, a new era for Ghost is upon us – and they’re kicking it off with a brand-new album. »Skeletá«, the band’s sixth studio record, is set to drop on April 25.
Ghost themselves announced the arrival of their new Papa with these cryptic words:
“We would like to inform you that our PERPETUAL state of expectation has dissipated with just a few wisps of smoke. We have learned: Patience is the key to unlocking every door in life. Let us celebrate the coronation of Papa V. Perpetua and the announcement of Ghost’s six-six-sixth psalm, »Skeletá«.”
To mark the occasion, Ghost have also dropped their first single »Satanized«, which you can listen to right HERE.
Ghost are hitting the road for a massive world tour this year! The first leg kicks off this spring in Europe, and you can bet they’ll be performing new music. A special highlight? Papa V. Perpetua making his live debut on stage!

Coming off a last few years defined by an American Music Award and iHeart Radio Award-winning international #1 album, an RIAA-certified platinum single, and a massive world tour immortalized in a box office record-breaking feature film, 2025 is poised to be Ghost’s busiest, most ambitious and outright biggest year to date. Having revealed the existence of »Skeletá«, the forthcoming sixth album from the Grammy-winning Swedish theatrical rock icons, and its insidiously melodic lead single »Satanized«, Ghost has only begun the next phase of its inevitable path to world domination.
With hundreds of thousands of tickets already sold for the first leg of a worldwide arena tour featuring the band’s first-ever headline date at Madison Square Garden, Ghost is poised to bring the most introspective and inward-focused material of the band’s career to vivid life – and in suitably grandiose style: The tour supporting »Skeletá« will feature the debut of the newly anti-christened Papa V Perpetua, as he presides over a phantasmagoric new production that promises to elevate the live rituals that propelled the band’s debut feature film »Rite Here Rite Now« to become the highest grossing hard rock cinema event in North American history.
»Skeletá« and its accompanying tour stand to radically grow the always burgeoning, uniquely impassioned and unflaggingly loyal legions who eat, sleep and dress Ghost. From longtime devoted disciples to the curious uninitiated, all will be welcomed to find communion, salvation and escape in »Skeletá« and the ever-expanding world of Ghost.
