Ghost frontman Cardinal Copia “died” during a show in Mexico City in March of 2020. But now, on the flip side of a pandemic, the satanic Swedish metal band has announced a new string of tours. And not only is the Satanic pop metal band back on the road, but they have a new leader as well: Papa Emeritus IV.
Today, after teasing their fans for some time, Ghost finally announced a co-headlining tour with Volbeat, the Danish band founded in 2001 known for their signature hybrid of heavy metal and rockabilly. At this time, we’ve learned that outings will kick off in January. Additionally, the two bands will be joined by satanic doo-wop outfit Twin Temple. In the meantime, you can check out the tour dates below (via Metal Sucks).
