Ghost released their critically acclaimed fourth studio album Prequelle on June 1, 2018 on Loma Vista Recordings. Previous Ghost albums have dealt with broad themes like impending doom (Opus Eponymous - 2010), the antichrist and the Inquisition (Infestissumam - 2013), humanism and avarice (Meliora - 2015). Prequelle delves into the plague, the apocalypse, and dark ages.
