IMPERIOUS
GHOST HAVE JUST RELEASED THEIR NEW ALBUM IMPERA', AND IT IS NOTHING SHORT OF SENSATIONAL. A DENSE, DRAMATIC AND DECADENT LOOK AT THE IMPERIAL EMPIRE, AND THE HEROES AND VILLAINS THAT INHABITED IT, THROUGH TOBIAS FORGE'S UNIQUE AND UNDENIABLE LENS, IT'S A COLLECTION OF SONGS THAT NOT ONLY CEMENTS GHOST AS ONE OF METAL'S MOST FASCINATING AND FANTASTICAL ASSETS, BUT ALSO AN ALBUM FOR THE AGES. ONE THAT DESERVES TO BE PLAYED LOUD, PROUD AND AS FREQUENTLY AS POSSIBLE. AHEAD OF THEIR UK TOUR, WE HAD A SIT DOWN WITH TOBIAS TO TALK ABOUT THE RECORD'S INCEPTION, WHETHER THE EVENTS OF THE MODERN-DAY HAVE AFFECTED HIS VIEW OF THE SONGS, AND WHERE THEY ULTIMATELY FIT INTO GHOST'S LIVE SHOW...
