Any footage of Ghost feels like a priceless artifact. Those seeking these rare treasures now have something to celebrate: newly unearthed, never-before-seen vintage Super 8 footage of the band’s early lineup is finally available to fans worldwide. The performance was shot to look like it took place at Los Angeles’ Whisky-A-Go-Go in 1969 and it is everything you’d hope for plus more. Check out the lyric video for “Mary On A Cross” below:
The above song was the band’s first song to make it on the Billboard Hot 100. After a viral stint on Tik Tok thanks to a Stranger Things feature, this RIAA-gold-certified classic will now be reincarnated on the newly announced purple vinyl 7” release of Seven Inches Of Satanic Panic.
After a stellar 2022, the spirits of Swedish rock continue to gain momentum. Nine months after its release, Impera has sold nearly 500,000 albums worldwide, secured the American Music Award for Favorite Rock Album 2022 and has received a Grammy nomination for Best Metal Performance (“Call Me Little Sunshine”). In addition to bagging the #1 place on Spotify’s Best of Kickass Metal 2022, Ghost was named Artist of the Year by Loudwire while Revolver and Metal Hammer declared their latest record #1 Album of 2022.
