Are Ghost Planning To Release New Music Before Their Next Tour?

It looks like we might be getting new music from Ghost in the near future. During a recent appearance on the French radio station OUI FM, frontman Tobias Forge seemingly hinted that the band are planning to share new material before their upcoming tour.

Forge said the following after being asked if he would ever follow in Metallica’s footsteps and do a “By Request” tour:

“Even though we’re obviously changing things . . . it’s more from a practical point of view. This tour that we’re starting . . . [will see us] changing a few things around. . . . The thing is that we always try to change things around, and now just because there has been – there are going to be a few changes. There might be, between now and then, there might be new music. Um, I’m just saying!

So, that’s going to be a little bit different. It’s going to be a different setup. If we ever do a “by request” [tour] – in a way, I wouldn’t be against doing a poll of what people want to hear. But, on the other hand, it’s like, songs that we aren’t playing regularly, there might be a reason for them not being played. Because of, usually, from a practical point of view that they’re . . . when I’m saying, “hard to play,” that is not a dare to online YouTube guitar players [who’re] saying, “They’re not hard at all!” That’s not the point. Sometimes, a song can be hard to play well, so it sounds good. So, it feels good. So it fits well in the set.

In the future, there might be an alternative that we’ve discussed . . . where it might come a time where we do a set that’s completely different from the one we have now. Then, you can rework so that it’s fluent with just the odd numbers.”
