I kinda feel bad about it but I’m not a huge fan of Skeleta, like it’s good, but it was not at all what I was expecting. It does always take me a few listens of every new Ghost album though to actually get into them which I’m hoping will be the same for Skelta, I do absolutely love Peacefield, Lachryma, Satanized, Marks of the Evil One, and Umbra were all amazing! Was not a fan at all of Guiding Lights unfortunately, that one might take a long time to grow on me, I unfortunately also am not feeling the Excelsis hype that everyone else is having, but it may grow on me, overall after only listening to it once it’s good but not great. I am definitely more of a fan of Ghosts older albums and Skelta is such a leap away from that, not exactly a bad thing, but just so very different,

Is anyone else now thinking Perpetua is definitely a vampire and that’s how he’s going to stick around forever

[crunchyonionsoup]

I don’t think I will ever get over how good The Unsleeping City is like it’s so damn good, I love Fantasy High and so many of the other Dimension 20 shows that Brennen has DM but The Unsleeping City truly feels like him at his peak, the world building is so good and Robert Mosses is such a good ass villain the monologues were insane I LOVE THIS SHOW SO FUCKING MUCH

Genuinely pretty sad to learn that the Ghost lore is going to be ending soon but also not too surprised by it either. While I genuinely do love the music itself I always found that the reason that band felt so special and interesting was the story and lore around the band! Even if it was mostly half assed by Tobias it was still really interesting and fun! I don’t think any of that will inherently stop though in the fan side most of the lore that was ever created comes from us the fans, still sucks though to know will stop getting chapters or official lore stuff. I also wonder if this is also Tobias potentially beginning to think about the end of the band itself. Or at least a huge directional shift. It’s strange to think about because relatively speaking Ghost only got huge and truly successful fairly recently over the last couple of years but Tobias has been doing Ghost for over 15 years now, that is a long time. I honestly think he probably has other ideas for other bands or types of creative projects that have nothing to do with Ghost. This is NOT me saying I think the band is ending tomorrow by the way they’ve become far to successful recently for Tobias to just stop any time soon, but I feel like with the lore ending soon it may be a signal that big changes for Tobias and the band are coming soon as well.

(Also I feel like this also means Perpetua is going to feel a lot less like a character and genuinely just Tobias Forge)

Still sad to loose the lore though I was hoping for so much more!

Ghost Tour and Album release timelines Infopost

I saw a lot of curiosity and also really bad takes about the upcoming album release in relation to the tour starting soon: „he’s decepting us by selling tickets and we don’t even have an album yet“, „it’s worrying that the album hasn’t even been released!“ etc, and I couldn’t take it anymore. So have a very short overview on how Ghost handled these things in the past and some speculations, brought to you by my autistic historian ass

Opus Popus as the first album doesn’t count here, so I’ll ignore it. Just like the EPs (even Popestar, yes)

Infestissumam

Papa II was introduced by Papa I on 15.12.2012 in Linköping

there we also got the first songs (Secular Haze, Marionette cover) played live,

SH single was released a few days (20.12.2012) later on their Website

Papa II Tour start: 23.02.2012 (if you don’t count the bit in december and that P3 Guld Awards thing)

Album Release Date: 10.04.2013

time between tour and album: 1,5 months (46 days)

Meliora

Papa III premiered in Linköping on 03.06.2015 (with the wrong facemask), which also started the tour

first single (Cirice) released on 30.05.2015

Album Release Date: 21.08.2015

time between tour and album: 2,5 months (79 days)

Prequelle (my beloved)

we meet the Cardinal on 06.04.2018 in a Chapter (and some small concerts) before tour kicks off properly:

Tour start: 05.05.2018

first single (Rats) was released on 13.04.2018 (followed by Dance Macabre on 18.05.2018)

notably there's a bit of a break after the pre-release tour (ROTR), the release of the album and then the „proper“ tour (Pale Tour)

Album Release Date: 01.06.2018

time between tour and album: just under 1 month (27 days)

Impera

not counting the Ascension on 03.03.2019 and Sympathy for the Devil (my beloved) on 22.01.2021);

we get 3! singles before the album releases (Hunter’s Moon (super early bc of the movie), CMLS, Twenties)

Preimperatour started on 25.01.2022 (again with a break between the pre-release tour, release and post-release tour)

Album Release Day: 11.03.2022

time between tour and album: 1,5 months (45 days)

Conclusion:

As you see, Ghost always go on tour first and THEN release the album with about 1,5 months inbetween. Many songs are first played live and then we get to hear the studio versions. Recently we even got dedicated „pre-tours“ (Rats on the Road, Pre-Imperatour) to hype us up. So there is no need to be worried, or even accuse him of being a scammer or whatever. It’s literally the normal modus operandi!

My guess for this Album/Tour (this might age terribly with the most recent website update): I’d assume we get a single later this month/ in march at the latest, and, if I had to guess, the album comes out after the Euro leg of the Redacted tour in late May (1 month passed plus theres a break again, like there was for ROTR/Pale Tour and Pre-/Imperatour)

Um so apparently THERE DOING A SHOW TONIGHT ARE THEY GOING TO REVEIL PAPA 5?????

[crunchyonionsoup]

This is either really important or there just doing maintenance on the website

Edit: never mind I think its the Spotify game Escape the Ministry, hopefully it’s not being taken down I haven’t had the chance to play it yet

I really hope that with the new tour and the awaited reveal of Papa V, that Ghost goes back to more of the dark satanic roots, I would love to see a tour with a theme of like a dark medieval type of dungeon kinda theme. The stage background shows that dark dungeon and all the lighting looks like dark green colours, the ghouls wear like alchemist style clothing. I would love to see a more dark kinda style like that

Also and this is more of a dream of mine and definitely not a realistic one, but how cool would it be if at each different show a really small like event that’s lore related would happen, like a Ghoul dressed as a knight fighting an angel in the background during a song, or like a satanic obelisk gets added to the stage at a random show for the Ghouls to pray too, just small stuff like that would be awesome

Arthur: So... who broke it? I'm not mad. I just want to know.

Mary-Beth: I did. I broke it.

Arthur: No, no you didn't. Sean?

Sean: Don't look at me. Look at Lenny.

Lenny: What? I didn't break it.

Sean: Huh. That's weird. How'd you even know it was broken?

Lenny: Because it's sitting right in front of us and it's broken.

Sean: Suspicious.

Abigail: If it matters - probably not - but Dutch was the last one to use it.

Dutch: Liar! I don't even drink that crap!

Abigail: Oh, really? Then what were you doing by the coffee cart earlier?

Dutch: I use the wooden stirrers to push back my cuticles; everyone knows that, Abigail.

Hosea: Ok, ok! Let’s not fight! I broke it, let me pay for it, Arthur.

Arthur: No! Who broke it?

Micha: Arthur... Sadie’s been awfully quiet.

Sadie: REALLY??

Micha: Yeah! Really.

Sadie: Oh, my God!

Arthur: I broke it. It burned my hand, so I punched it. I predict ten minutes from now they'll be at each other's throats with war paint on their faces and a pig head on a stick. Good. It was getting a little chummy around here.
