Ghost Announces North American Tour with Mastodon and Spiritbox; ‘Impera’ LP Out Now

On March 11, Swedish hard-rock/metal/glam/pop group Ghost unleashed Impera, the latest chapter in the group’s endlessly compelling arc. The genre-defying record, which dabbles in glam as much it does gloom, continues the singular musical quest put forth by band leader Tobias Forge and his accomplices.

Later this year, Ghost will return to the road for a North American tour with special guests Mastodon and Spiritbox along for the ride — a trio of acts that ought to make for a very solid night of music.
