GHOST: 'Year Zero' Pro-Shot Performance Clip From New York City
December 9, 2013Professionally filmed video footage of Swedish occult rockers GHOST performing the song "Year Zero" live on May 11 at Webster Hall in New York City can be seen below.
A nameless ghoul stated: "Playing in New York will always feel very special for us, since it was the first city in the U.S. that embraced us. Every time we play there, it marks another step up for us — going from filling up the basement at Webster Hall, to filling up the Bowery to finally play at sold-out Webster Hall. We simply love New York."

Spinefarm releases are distributed through Caroline/Universal in all territories, including the U.K., where the EP was made available on November 18.

GHOST recently travelled to the U.S. to join AVENGED SEVENFOLD and DEFTONES for the "Hail To The King" tour; these dates — which ran until October 26 — marked the band's first proper U.S. outing since their "Haze Over America" trek earlier this year.

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