Ghost won’t officially begin recording their new album until later this summer according to one of the band’s Nameless Ghouls. Speaking recently with Metal Wani, he revealed that they won’t be recording the effort “for real” until August, directly after returning home from their North American tour with Iron Maiden. Speaking of what they have in the works for the effort thus far, he shared:
“The ideas for the new record will be “darker” because it’s thematically set in a darker setting. “Meliora” was supposed to reflect some sort of utopia/dystopia of modern society, where this new one is gonna be a little bit more apocalyptic in a way, a little bit more back to medieval times.”

Constantly working with those sort of polar sort of elements is also a difference I guess between… If you find a black metal record that is about the plague and the death you will have only death, everything just is black and everything just ends black.
Where one of my driving forces writing a record like that is to write a record about the survival of that and the prosperity. Yeah, it’s gonna be a darker record, is it going to be all through and through heavier? I don’t know. Obviously we do have melody and we do have songs that are not so heavy, so from my point of view, from where I’m sitting knowing of a little bit of material coming in, it’s going to be both. It’s gonna have everything from heavy crushing metal to big ballady anthems.”
