Finally! After what feels like a forever-long wait since 2022 album Impera – during which time we got a movie, a greatest-hits and enough teasing of something exciting to come that it’ll give you blue balls – Ghost have announced their sixth album Skeletá. Tobias Forge has unveiled his “Papa V Perpetua” persona, new single Satanized is out now and there’s a world tour just weeks away. It’s a wonderful time to be a fan.
The bad news, however, is that Skeletá won’t drop until April 25. If you’re anything like me, you may go spare waiting that long. So, to keep you and I sane during the month-and-a-bit wait, I’ve compiled a list of great songs that aren’t by Ghost, but that match the masked mavens’ occult, retro and melodic vibes just well enough to keep you satiated.
