A demonic possession unlike any before” has never sounded so sweet. “Satanized,” the anthemic first single heralding GHOST’s forthcoming sixth album, SKELETÁ (out April 25), is the first taste of the GRAMMY-winning Swedish theatrical rock icons’ most ambitious outing to date.
An avalanche of infectious hooks and harmonies is buoyed by a hypnotic shuffle, as the narrator succumbs to dark forces within and without, helplessly acknowledging their own blasphemy and heresy as it inexorably consumes them.
By the time the song’s opening lines “There is something inside me and they don’t know if there is a cure” have moved from the inner monologue of the possessed to the ears of the hapless listener, it will already be too late: You will have been “Satanized.”
Coming off a last few years defined by an American Music Award and iHeart Radio Award-winning international #1 album, an RIAA-certified platinum single, and a massive world tour immortalized in a box office record-breaking feature film, 2025 is poised to be GHOST’s busiest, most ambitious, and outright biggest year to date. Having revealed the existence of SKELETÁ, the forthcoming sixth album from the GRAMMY-winning Swedish theatrical rock icons, and its insidiously melodic lead single “Satanized,” GHOST has only begun the next phase of its inevitable path to world domination.
With hundreds of thousands of tickets already sold for the first leg of a worldwide arena tour featuring the band’s first-ever headline date at Madison Square Garden, GHOST is poised to bring the most introspective and inward-focused material of the band’s career to vivid life—and in suitably grandiose style: The tour supporting SKELETÁ will feature the debut of the newly anti-christened Papa V Perpetua, as he presides over a phantasmagoric new production that promises to elevate the live rituals that propelled the band’s debut feature film RITE HERE RITE NOW to become the highest grossing hard rock cinema event in North American history.

SKELETÁ and its accompanying tour stand to radically grow the always burgeoning, uniquely impassioned and unflaggingly loyal legions who eat, sleep and dress GHOST. From longtime devoted disciples to the curious uninitiated, all will be welcomed to find communion, salvation and escape in SKELETÁ and the ever-expanding world of GHOST.
