Ghost clearly works at a disgustingly fast pace, given the proximity of the following two comments. In late September, the band stated that it was writing a new album and wanted to get to the pre-production phase pretty soon. Now in an interview with 93.3 WMMR, Ghost states that it will be pre-producing the album in November, will hit the studio in Spring, and will be releasing the record in fall 2017.
The downside is that if you're living in Australia or Japan, this album tour cycle isn't hitting you.
“After this, we’re done in November, we’re gonna go back home and start pre-producing the new record. And January-February, we’re gonna tour Europe. So the same show that we’re doing here [in the U.S.], we’re gonna do there, the new one. And I think we’re done after that, touring. Unfortunately, I don’t think we’ll have the time to go to some of these places that we haven’t done so far on this touring cycle, like Australia, Japan and another run to South America. I don’t know… Since we wanted to go down there, we’ve said that March-April would be the time for us, but we cannot do it too extensively, because we really need to go to record the album. So springtime is probably [the time] to record a new album, and [for the] new album to come out next fall, and then [after that we will] restart [the whole touring cycle].”
Still though, is it too early to be excited the new Ghost album? Because I'm stoked. I wonder what the band is going to look like when the shows start and Papa Emeritus IV gets rolled out…
