Ghost has been making new music. Although "Hunters Moon" recently appeared in the soundtrack of the movie Halloween Killing, it is expected that more music will appear next year. Thanks to Tobias Forge's new chat with KLAQ, fans have some new insights on what to expect, and the singer revealed the conceptual inspiration for the album.

Forge explained (heard in the player below and transcribed by Blabbermouth), “I’ve been making an album, and I came up with this concept a few years ago. We performed in Seattle in 2013 and 2014—similar ——We are at Showbox At The Market. I remember that day I came up with the idea for this record, an upcoming record. Because I have a book called "The Rules of the Empire". So, basically, I want to record the Empire The rise and fall of the world and the inevitable failure and decline in the end."

He continued, "Such an idea may take-at least for me-quite far. So once you have this idea, like,'Oh, now I know what a bunch of things will look like. I know now What shouldn’t be put in there.’ Prequelle is the same thing; it will be about the great death, a medieval, primitive threat of destruction, I don’t think I will talk about the physical, but maybe a little bit spiritual and philosophical Death, with the actual end of existence forever, and this record of empire will be a little more practical, I guess; a little more, I don’t want to talk about politics. So it’s not difficult to be inspired by the last couple."

The title of the book cited by Forge is actually "The Rule of Empires: Those who built them, those who endured them, and why they always fail." In this book, the author Timothy Parsons (Timothy Parsons) investigates every regime from Roman rule in ancient Britain to Spanish rule in Peru, British rule in India and Kenya, and the occupation of France by Nazi Germany. Analyzed.

The next Ghost album is expected to be released in 2022, and the band seems to be taking action to support it, and recently revealed a joint headline tour with Volbeat and special guest Twin Temple in early 2022.
