Metal heavyweights GHOST have release their new album, Prequelle via Loma Vista Recordings.

The 10-track collection represents GHOST’s fourth overall and follow-up to 2015’s Meliora. It was recorded at Stockholm’s Artery studios with the help of producer Tom Dalgety (Opeth, Royal Blood). Mixing took place at Hollywood’s Westlake Studios with Andy Wallace, known for his work with NIRVANA and SLAYER.

 

Prequelle also serves as an introduction to the Swedish group’s newest leader, Cardinal Copia. For those unfamiliar, founder and vocalist Tobias Forge has assumed the alter ego of various “Papa” figures over the years; the band’s most recent Papa went by the name of Papa Emeritus III.
