Video: GHOST Performs New Single On Swedish TV - Jan. 21, 2013
Video footage of the mysterious Swedish buzz band GHOST performing its new single, "Secular Haze" this past Saturday, January 19 at "P3 Guld" — Swedish radio station P3's annual music awards ceremony — at Scandinavium in Gothenburg, Sweden can be seen below.

The studio recording of GHOST's cover version of ABBA's "I'm A Marionette" has been released on Spotify. The track, which reportedly features none other than Dave Grohl (FOO FIGHTERS, NIRVANA) handling production duties and sitting behind the drum kit, serves as the B-side of GHOST's strictly limited 10-inch clear vinyl version of "Secular Haze".

In a recent interview with Decibel magazine, one of the Nameless Ghouls stated about GHOST's decision to record an ABBA' cover: "We are Swedish, and ABBA has always been a very, very strong part of our modern musical heritage. We all grew up with their music very present. Not only that — ABBA basically took a few hundred years of traditional Swedish music and made it into pop songs. I'm talking about folk music from the 16th, 17th and 18th centuries. Anybody outside Scandinavia probably isn't familiar with those tones or musical language. But one of the reasons ABBA broke through so enormously first in Sweden was probably because of their folk music influences. I think anyone from Scandinavia is easily infatuated with that sort of music, so ABBA has a deeper meaning to us, I think."

GHOST will release its sophomore album, "Infestissumam", in the spring via Loma Vista Recordings, the new record label founded by Tom Whalley in partnership with Republic Records, a division of Universal Music Group. Frontman Papa Emeritus and his Nameless Ghouls summoned Nashville-based Grammy Award-winning Nick Raskulinecz (DEATH ANGEL, DEFTONES, FOO FIGHTERS, RUSH) to produce this offering.

"Infestissumam" track listing:

01. Infestissumam
02. Per Aspera Ad Inferi
03. Secular Haze
04. Jigolo Har Megiddo
05. Ghuleh / Zombie Queen
06. Year Zero
07. Idolatrine
08. Body And Blood
09. Depth Of Satans Eyes
10. Monstrance Clock

The band's debut album, "Opus Eponymous", was released in late 2010 in Europe and in early 2011 in North America via Rise Above Records.

Hey man, sorry to tell you Ghost sounds nothing like Manowar. Or "Tallica".

I wanted to not like this band, writing them off as a half-assed Mercyful Fate with anonymous members fronted by a dark-pope ala Portal, but goddamn if this tune and their Abba cover aren't sounding amazing to these ears.

On national Swedish TV. Awesome.
How far behind has this country always been when it comes to rock and metal!

I can't wait till they come back to the states.

E~

Saw these guys at Bowery Ballroom last year, and they kicked ass. Looking forward to new album and tour.

The singer drifts in and out of key through the whole song. Not even a dumb outfit can cover that up.

i'm really tired of this band getting negative comments claiming they ripped off mercyful fate. oh no, if you start a band, better not have any influences!!

a lot of people like the theatrical stuff, why not let them have another band to like and quit talking so much unnecessary shit?

Over-hyped, under performers.

There are lots of suckers out there in the world of metal consumers.

I don't get it. Where are Ghost's high-pitched screams? That's not what they do.

This band is definitely more hype than substance. Not terrible, not that great, either.

they sounded so good. The guitars and organs were perfectly positioned in the mix, very hard to do in a live setting. The vocal harmonies also sounded amazing, also very difficult live. I could feel the audience's elation and confusion, brilliant stuff.

There would be a huge freakout if this aired ANYWHERE in USA! C'mon, you going to tell me that in the land of HoneyBoBo & Beyonce ... no one in TVland could handle this imagery, even if they are not screaming heavy metal!

Sweden has the trump cards...and GHOST are equally impressive.
