One of many extra polarizing elements of Ghost has at all times been the “spooky” getup that they’ve adopted from day one. Followers usually actually get into the entire pomp and circumstance, whereas detractors make enjoyable of it, name it Scooby Doo bullshit, you recognize… all the kinds of feedback we get on our posts in regards to the band. However after they dropped the music video for his or her newest single “Lachryma”, one factor was simple — this can be a extra energetic model of the band.
A part of that could possibly be the truth that the band’s look is extra type becoming and visually attention-grabbing, however the greatest standout is the truth that the band’s mastermind Tobias Forge can truly fucking emote along with his face. For therefore lengthy, the masks he’s worn moved alongside along with his jaw, nevertheless it at all times appeared stiff. Now, with Papa V Perpetua’s masks solely masking the highest half of his face, Forge can do extra along with his face. And at instances within the video under, he truly kinda seems to be creepy in a bizarre means.
I do know it’s unusual to spend a lot time speaking in regards to the band’s seems to be and never the track, however in the event you’ve been masking the band for so long as I’ve, this type of shit stands out.
As for the track itself, it’s catchy as hell. One thing about it seems like some very, excellent ’80s Ozzy Osbourne-ish worship at factors. Naturally the riffs are on level and the synths add to the airy-ness of the whole monitor, nevertheless it’s as soon as once more the lyrics and infectious hook within the refrain that’s certain to maintain folks coming again for extra.
Skeletá is about to launch on April 25 through Loma Vista Recordings, however you’ll be able to preorder that album proper now. The band even have an enormous world tour deliberate to begin later this month. You could find the total record of dates under and get your tickets right here.
