Priest - A Signal In The Noise (Official Music Video)






 “A Signal In The Noise” is the first single from the new album by the enigmatic trio, which consists of vocalist Mercury (known as Water when he played bass for GHOST), keyboardist Salt (formerly GHOST keyboardist Air), and programmer/ keyboardist Sulfur. The new album is slated for 2022 and is produced by another GHOST alumni Simon Söderberg (guitarist and producer/engineer of GHOST’s debut album Opus Eponymous).

Although the group has been putting out albums since 2017, this new album marks a significant departure, with a drastically darker mood. Speaking about the new single, a spokesperson for PRIEST declares “‘A Signal in the Noise’ is the first glimpse of a darker era in PRIEST’s timeline. The industrial rhythms and melodies paint a vast canvas of an apocalyptic future. To accompany the track, we needed a gritty video with an urban feeling. We are very excited to show it to you!”

Priest's members were part of the music project known as GHOST

Their newest album drops FRIDAY MARCH 11th, 2022.

Heavy metal/rock band from Sweden formed in 2008. Due to legal issues, the band was briefly forced to release music under the Ghost B.C. name in the United States. They absolutely refused to use the name on any merchandise or in any other manner.

Ghost is known for keeping its members anonymous. Every album lists the musicians as "Nameless Ghouls" and the singer as "Papa Emeritus / Papa Emeritus II / Papa Emeritus III". The lead singer is the same, however they announce a new lead singer every album. Ghost is also known for its influence from classic rock and the satanic church theme in their music.

Tobias Forge revealed himself as "The Man Behind The Mask of GHOST" in first public interview on August 17, 2017 on Swedish Radio Channel P1.

Bandcamp Daily just published a new story featuring Ghost:

https://daily.bandcamp.com/seven-essential-releases/essential-releases-march-11-2022?utm_source=notification

If heavy metal were a high school, then Ghost would be the theatre kids: operatic, ostentatious, incessantly in-character, earnest to a fault. Depending on who you ask, the papal-inspired Satanist pomp running through their rippers could be a modern homage to the Satanic panic of the ’70s and ’80s, a winking commentary on the hypocrisies and dark truths baked into organized religion, or to quote the record store employee who guided me away from the band’s 2010 debut, “some Scooby-Doo bullshit.” To put it another way, Ghost are the kvlt answer to Cats: you’re either all-in on Papa Emeritus’ pageantry, cheering and head-banging from the front of the house, or you’re clambering for the doors, wondering how ordinary people could lose their shit over some Swedes dressed up about ghouls and trafficking in arcane ABBA worship. For those in the latter group, I won’t try and convert you to the clergy, but I will say this: the band’s ambitious new effort, Impera, is one hell-raiser of a show, a goth-rock opera filled to the brim with anthemic ear-candy, masterful riffs, and intricate, explosive set-pieces. The band’s mastermind, Tobias Forge, has clearly studied all the classics; early highlight “Kaisarion” channels the radiant highs of Queen and Meat Loaf with soaring, prog-inflected guitars, contrasted with the steady, “Smoke on the Water”-esque creep of lead single “Call Me Little Sunshine.” Other standouts, like “Twenties”—a deliciously over-the-top ripper combining groove metal rhythms, punchy brass, and sneering, sing-song vocals reminiscent of a Disney supervillain—feel like pot-shots aimed squarely at the purists, and all the better for it; Ghost don’t write records so much as they stage revues, and their open, uncompromising embrace of that fact, coupled with their ultra-tight songcraft, is precisely what makes them so special. They’re the Anti-Jesus Christ Superstars for our time, and I’m so here for it. Bring this shit to Broadway, ASAP!

Spillways
by Ghost, Def Leppard



"Impera was my favourite rock album of 2022 … I found out along the way that Tobias is a bit of a fan of DL, so I guess it was inevitable we’d both find out about each other! Once we’d been introduced to the idea of working together it just snowballed organically & I’m thrilled that I got to sing on what is my favourite song from that album!" - Joe Elliott of Def Leppard
