Ghost are celebrating another triumphant year with a new career-spanning streaming compilation titled 13 Commandments. Among the tracks is the song “Zenith,” which previously only received a physical release.
A press release describes the set as, “A treasure trove for the most fervent devotees and new initiates alike, Ghost’s 13 Commandments compilation chronicles the band’s metamorphosis from Scandinavian curiosity to world-straddling creative colossus — all that and fans are rewarded with the wider release of Ghost’s cult tune ‘Zenith.”‘
The band’s eventful 2023 included the release of the covers EP Phantomime, as well as a new version of “Spillways” featuring Def Leppard’s Joe Elliott and a cover of Shakespears Sister’s “Stay” featuring Patrick Wilson for the movie Insidious: The Red Door.
Ghost also embarked on a five-month, four-continent world tour, including a summer US run with Amon Amarth, and recently received a Grammy nomination for their...

Ghost have issued a lengthy statement following the last-minute cancellation of their Tuesday (August 29th) concert at Ccnb Amphitheatre at Heritage Park in Simpsonville, South Carolina.
Unfortunately, the Swedish metal band’s US tour with Amon Amarth routed straight into the heart of inclement weather spurred by Hurricane Idalia along the East Coast.
While the band was able to give ample warning that Florida shows in Jacksonville (August 30th) and Tampa (August 31st) would be canceled due to the hurricane, fans in South Carolina were already at the venue on Tuesday evening (August 29th) when they found out Ghost wouldn’t be playing.
In fact, Amon Amarth had played a few songs when the skies opened up and rain poured down on the Ccnb Amphitheatre. Not only did the weather stop Amon Amarth’s set, but also prevented Ghost from performing at all. Unfortunately, it took a while for fans...

A Missouri venue has issued an apology for enacting a policy that forced fans to remove face paint at a Ghost concert on Friday (August 11th).
Two days before the show at Hollywood Casino Amphitheatre in Maryland Heights, Missouri, the venue made a social media post informing fans that “face paint or masks covering the face” were “Not allowed while entering the venue or purchasing items at concessions” and “any face coverings must be removable upon request.”
Apparently, many concertgoers didn’t get catch wind of the policy — which is somewhat bizarre in-and-of itself, considering the widespread use of face coverings in recent years. Also, Ghost frontman Papa Emeritus IV (aka Tobias Forge) dons corpsepaint-like makeup, inspiring hardcore fans to often put on face paint themselves.
The venue’s relatively late announcement about the policy caused chaos and confusion at the gates, as concertgoers were told to remove their face paint and,...

Swedish Viking metal veterans Amon Amarth have released a new music video for “Heidrun” (“goat” in Norse mythology), a song that appears on their latest studio album, The Great Heathen Army. Additionally, they’ve unveiled the four-song Heidrun EP featuring three versions of the tune, including a “goat remix” with actual goat vocals.
Frontman Johan Hegg explained the mythological story behind “Heidrun” in a press release, stating, “Heidrun is an interesting mythological character, it’s a goat that stands on the roof of Valhalla eating the leaf of the big tree Lärad.”
He continued, “The milk that she gives is the honey/mead that the warriors in Valhalla drink each night. The lyrics themselves are both about Vikings travelling the world but also metaphorically what it is to be a touring musician.”

Ghost have hit the road for a summer US tour, bringing fellow Swedes Amon Amarth along for the ride. The “Re-Imperator” officially kicked off with a packed show Wednesday night (August 2nd) at the Concord Pavilion in Concord, California.
Supporting their latest release, The Great Heathen Army, Amon Amarth got the ball rolling with a nine-song setlist that had the metalheads in the already full venue singing along. The band kicked off the set with “Raven’s Flight,” complete with a viking helmet drum riser, and two massive swordsman statues on either side of the stage. “Put Your Back into the Oar” was easily the crowd favorite of the set, as made obvious by the fans rowing along to the song. By the time the band wrapped up their brief set with “Twilight of the Thunder Guard,” the entire venue was primed for the headliners.

Ghost have unveiled their cover of Iron Maiden’s “Phantom of the Opera” from the upcoming Phantomime covers EP, arriving this Thursday (May 18th).
Papa Emeritus IV and his Nameless Ghouls do a faithful job covering their heavy metal forefathers on “Phantom of the Opera.” The original Maiden track hails from the British legends’ 1980 debut, featuring singer Paul Di’Anno. However, Ghost’s version harnesses the power and might of the 1985 Live After Death version featuring Bruce Dickinson.
Impressively, the guitar tracks are nearly transposed in accuracy, and Papa stays true to the song’s vocal arrangement while adding his signature melodic flourishes to the mix. For a band that has long wore its Nwobhm influences on its sleeve, the cover marks a consummatory moment in Ghost’s career. It also harkens back to Iron Maiden’s Book of Souls tour in 2016 and 2017, when they brought Ghost along as support.

Ghost have announced a new five-song covers EP titled Phantomime, featuring renditions of songs by Genesis, Iron Maiden, Tina Turner, Television, and The Stranglers. Just in time for Easter Sunday (April 9th), the Swedish metal band has unveiled its cover of Genesis’ “Jesus He Knows Me.”
Genesis’ original 1992 version of the song was a satirical look at televangelists, a subject matter right up Ghost’s alley. In addition to “Jesus He Knows Me,” the EP includes Papa Emeritus IV and company covering Television’s “See No Evil,” The Stranglers’ “Hanging Around,” Iron Maiden’s “Phantom of the Opera,” and Tina Turner’s “We Don’t Need Another Hero (Thunderdome).” The EP is due out on May 18th.
Accompanying the music video for “Jesus He Knows Me” is a half-hour radio call-in show titled “Jesus Talk” hosted by “Father Jim DeFroque.
Perhaps, Ghost will perform one or more of the covers...
