GHOST B.C.: 'Secular Haze' Video Released - Feb. 18, 2013
"Secular Haze", the new video from the mysterious Swedish buzz band GHOST, can be seen at Noisey. The clip was filmed by Amir Chamdin in the band's hometown of Linköping.

"Secular Haze" will be available for purchase on iTunes and Amazon tomorrow, February 19.

GHOST was recently forced to modify its name in the U.S. to GHOST B.C. for "legal reasons."

In the year of 13, the second phase of GHOST B.C. begins with the release of the sophomore psalm, "Infestissumam", on April 9 via Loma Vista Recordings. Papa Emeritus II succeeded Papa Emeritus at the conclusion of phase one in the year of 12, and the Nameless Ghouls joined him under the unholy church's current moniker. Make no mistake, though. The rituals still demand the same reverence and praise, fortified through a delivery of sweetly satanic melodies, snaking distorted riffs, and vaudevillian keyboards.

GHOST B.C.'s tour, Haze Over North America 2013, will bow at this year's Coachella Valley Music & Arts Festival on April 14 and the Empire Polo Field in Indio, California.

Papa Emeritus II recently emerged on the 100th issue of Decibel magazine for an extensive feature detailing the making of the forthcoming "Infestissumam" in which a nameless ghoul declared, "Regardless of your religious beliefs, we like to trigger the imagination of the listener so they can become a devout burner in Hell or a keen participant of devil worship for at least an hour or two. That's the GHOST experience." Decibel editor-in-chief Albert Mudrian said, "For the cover of our 100th issue, we wanted to spotlight a band that embodies the ideals of the magazine: theatricality, black humor, love for both the past and present of extreme music. GHOST meets and exceeds all of those criteria, and we couldn't be more excited to reveal the exclusive story of the making of their sophomore album."

"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

Video footage of GHOST performing "Secular Haze" on January 19 at "P3 Guld" — Swedish radio station P3's annual music awards ceremony — at Scandinavium in Gothenburg, Sweden can be seen below.

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.

wonder how lee dorrian feels, he signed them to rise above and they leave him high and dry and without a word of thanks that i have heard. At least he still has electric wizard. As far as ghost goes everybody loved them until they started catching on. Happens everytime. A lot of luck was involved with their success but they owe it all to rise above.

I'm in the UK. England to be exact, so not only is my spelling of offence quite correct, but your insults about inbred redneck and meths are also way off the mark.

And you're a child.

I HATE this name change to Ghost B.C..

It would've been better if they went with:

Ghost!
Ghost's
A Ghost
The Ghost
The Ghost's
Thy Ghost

There is so many things they could've done besides adding B.C. to the name.

The band 'fun.' just puts a period at the end in order to use that as their band name and avoid someone challenging them over a copyright.

So, why not 'Ghost.' as the new name???

I don't know why the embedded video doesn't work, but you can watch it if you click the link at the beginning of the article.

And if you don't like Ghost, why click on the article in the first place? I mean, other than to be a troll...

Beyond the gimmick, the songs are catchy as hell. And the gimmick is awesome. I'd rather check out a band like this that does their gimmick well, than a Hellyeah type, or some other pseudo redneck, tough guy posture band.

It's refreshing to hear a some what retro heavy rock band with out a high gain triple rectifier sound, double kick overly busy drums, melodic vocals and prominent keyboards. The songwriting, instrument arrangements and the old school production (no 808 drops or overtly auto tuned vocals (I'm sure some of the vocals are fixed but... you know what I mean) is great.

The grown ups know Ghost is camp... but what's wrong with that as long as product has some quality. Yeah, the overall product will probably get old fast, but I'm sure I'll still dig their songs twenty years from now, just like I enjoy listening to an old Deep Purple, Mercyful Fate or Incantation album now.

Yes that's perfectly true. Everyone in the uk has bad teeth.
The reason for this is in 1865 the dentists were driven out of the country with pitchforks because having people to fix peoples teeth again took all the fun out of football hooliganism.

You should come over some time, you can stay in my castle. I'll take you to meet the Queen when i go for my sunday game of croquet at Buckingham Palace.

Voice Of Sanitry (146th in line for the throne of england)


P.S. Two words - Steve Buscemi.

"GHOST was recently forced to modify its name in the U.S. to GHOST B.C. for "legal reasons."

So what exactly are these "legal reasons" that apply only in the US? I sure would like to know, Bori.

I'll always refer to them as GHOST anyway, and they fucking rule!
