GHOST’s global fanbase—an army of ghouls, outcasts, and loyal disciples—has waited with bated breath, and SKELETÁ delivers in every conceivable way. Released today, April 25th , the album arrives amidst a whirlwind of global celebration.
Earlier this week, the band unveiled the recorded version of the monumental new single "Peacefield" , the track that opens both the album and the explosive live setlist on the SKELETOUR WORLD TOUR 2025 . The single sets the tone for an album that is equal parts theatrical, heavy, melodic, and unmistakably GHOST.
In celebration of the release, nearly 150 record stores worldwide hosted SKELETÁ-Eve Midnight Sales , drawing fans in full costume and spiritual fervor. When the demand overwhelmed physical capacity, GHOST answered the call with a live-streamed “SKELETÁ Rockin’ Eve” , extending the ritual to devotees across the globe.
Before the full release, GHOST dropped two lead singles that ignited the inferno:
"Satanized" , praised by VICE as a “catchy goth-rock epic”
"Lachryma" , described by PASTE as “economical, vicious, and contemporary,” and dubbed “phantasmagoric” by REVOLVER
Both tracks have dominated streaming charts and stoked anticipation for SKELETÁ 's arrival. GHOST currently boasts more than 10 million monthly Spotify listeners and a rabid YouTube following, proving their reach is as massive as their sound.
The launch of the SKELETOUR WORLD TOUR 2025 has been nothing short of historic. The spectacle kicked off on April 15th at the AO Arena in Manchester, UK, with deafening applause greeting the live debut of GHOST’s newest frontman incarnation— Papa V Perpetua .
With arena dates already sold out across the UK and Europe, the tour is set to hit North America beginning July 9 in Baltimore , including the band’s first-ever headlining performance at Madison Square Garden on July 22 .
KERRANG! hailed the Manchester performance as “bones and wings and sparkling and bedazzled macabre glory… f***ing brilliant,” setting the tone for what promises to be GHOST’s most ambitious tour to date.
Adding to the buzz, GHOST has launched GTV , a new digital channel serving up exclusive content from the tour. Hosted by Vanessa Warwick , the Ghoulbangers’ Ball invites fans into the backstage madness, rehearsals, fan rituals, and more—providing a deeper look into the supernatural world of GHOST.
Whether you’re a long-time follower of the clergy or a curious newcomer, SKELETÁ is a sonic cathedral of darkness and light, ready to be explored. From shimmering hooks to apocalyptic grandeur, it’s a celebration of the eerie, the theatrical, and the divine.
