GHOST has unveiled “Lachryma,” the second advance offering from the GRAMMY-winning Swedish theatrical rock icons’ feverishly anticipated new album, SKELETÁ, out April 25 via Loma Vista Recordings.
Arriving in tandem with a lucid nightmare of a video featuring Papa V Perpetua’s first full performance as newly anti-christened frontman, “Lachryma” is quite possibly the most emblematic example to date of GHOST’s signature balance of dark lyrical foreboding and irresistible melodic uplift. Following closely on the hooves of first SKELETÁ single “Satanized,” “Lachryma” supplants the demonic hooks of its predecessor with a purple haze of sonic flourishes that accomplish something even more insidious: a bonafide modern day rock anthem about weeping. The sweet turns sour, the vile rot attacks, yet you can’t stop singing along… even as the purple tears begin to fall.
