"Impera" CD by Ghost

Ghost returns with their new Album 'Impera'. The CD edition comes in a jewel case and includes a 28-page booklet.

'We build our new empire from the ashes of an old one' - with these words, the Grammy-winning Swedish institution of theatrical Rock music, Ghost, announces the upcoming release of their fifth studio Album, IMPERA, which will be released on March 11th via Loma Vista Recordings. After their previous Album, PREQUELLE, nominated for Best Rock Album at the 2018 Grammy Awards, set in the 14th century during the European plague pandemic, Ghost finds themselves litresally catapulted hundreds of years into the future with IMPERA. The result is the most ambitious and lyrically concise work in Ghost's Album canon: throughout the 12-song cycle of IMPERA, empires rise and fall, self-proclaimed messiahs engage in (monetary and spiritual) hype-marketing, and prophecies are made, all while the firmament is filled with celestial bodies of divine and human creation. The thematically current Ghost Album to date unfolds against a hypnotic, darkly colorful melodic background, making IMPERA an unparalleled listening experience.
