Ghost Preparing Fans For New Direction With Upcoming EP

(Classic Rock) Ghost's upcoming covers EP will help them experiment with the new direction they're taking for their next album, one of the band's Nameless Ghoul has revealed.

He says the as-yet-untitled record, due out this autumn, incorporates "different elements" so that fans can gradually get comfortable with the band's change in sound when they release the full-length follow-up to last year's Meliora.

The Ghoul tells No Brown M&Ms: "I'm not gonna throw stones at the show that we're doing right now, but this was definitely a baby format of what I had in mind.

"On an ideal night, at a big theatre, it looks okay - it's cool and it maximises the thing that we're doing. But I felt that we really need another chance to show what we can do if we have a bigger production on this cycle.

"Doing this covers EP is a little bit recreational in a way. It's also a good way for us to incorporate elements. If you hear the EP, don't think that, 'Oh, the next album is gonna sound exactly like this,' but that is a good way for us to sneak in elements. You might hear a synth sound like this on the next record, but not as evident." Read more here.
