Ghost today announced the arrival of “From The Pinnacle To The Pit” from their forthcoming third sacred psalm, Meliora. The song is available to stream HERE and will be available for instant download for those who pre-order the album, along with the previously released track “Cirice”.
Meliora is due out on August 21st via Spinefarm Records/Loma Vista Recordings, and is the follow up to 2013’s heralded Infestissumam.
“We have always had the craving for a truly stomping riff-based song, Led Zeppelin-style. Something that would sound great coming out of a car stereo in an American high school parking lot” – A Nameless Ghoul, regarding “From The Pinnacle To The Pit”
Early praise for Meliora…
“A perfect occult Metal mass” – 7 out of 7, Metal Hammer
“The record is yet another creative giant leap forward for the group, mixing up in various and fascinating ways ’70s-era psychedelic and prog rock, unhinged doom metal and classic AOR balladry – all of it informed by a pronounced, sophisticated pop consciousness that yields ear candy-like hooks that last for days” – Music Radar
Pre-orders are available here or via iTunes here. Fans who pre-order the album will receive a complimentary download of album tracks “From The Pinnacle To The Pit” and “Cirice” (stream here). Ghost have also released a music video for “Cirice”, directed by Roboshobo, which can be viewed here.
