One of Ghost‘s Nameless Ghouls was recently interviewed by Full Metal Jackie for her weekend radio program. The entire chat has since been posted on Loudwire and it touched upon the band’s next album. When asked if the band already have an overall theme for their next effort, he replied:
“Let’s just say that it’s a continuation of Meliora, but it’s sort of a response. I’ve used the word “pre-apocalyptic” on Meliora. It’s sort of the hide of civilization. It’s the symbolism, just look at the cover. It’s sky risers, everything. You don’t even see the ground. It’s all covered and built material. Obviously there has to be an end to that. So there will be a call and response. The next album will be the response to that. So if there was an absence of a God, there might be a return of a deity, which usually comes in horrible forms. So it will be a darker album.”
This past fall the band had tentative plans to hit the studio this spring. Given that they will be touring North America this summer with Iron Maiden, it would certainly make sense to have a new album in the can to capitalize on the opportunity.
