Ghost Announce New Album SKELETÁ, Unveil Single 'Satanized': Stream
Ghost have announced their highly anticipated new album, SKELETÁ, arriving April 25th via Loma Vista Recordings. The video for lead single 'Satanized' can be streamed below.
Despite its sinister title, the new song is quite graceful and sees Ghost fully embracing their melodic-AOR side. Shades of Styx and Def Leppard are present on the prog-tinged rocker, which is drenched in a blanket reverb effect that's straight out of the 1980s.

Meanwhile, the accompanying music video introduces Ghost's 'new' frontman and the latest iteration of band mastermind Tobias Forge, Papa V Perpetua, whose arrival was previously teased when Ghost were announced as part of Black Sabbath's upcoming final concert. Along with the clip, the band also launched an interactive element dubbed 'The Satanizer,' in which fans can upload a photo that will morph them into characters featured in the video.
As for the new album, SKELETÁ is self-described as Ghost's 'sixth psalm,' opening a new chapter in the band's expansive, fictional lore. It will mark a shift to more personal lyrical content, away from the 'outward facing subject matter' of previous albums Impera and Prequelle. Instead, the LP will 'render the distinct individual emotional vistas of each of its 10 songs in one-on-one fashion, at times as if in a dialogue with oneself in a mirror,' as stated in the band's press release.
SKELETÁ is set to drop just over a week after Ghost embark on their previously announced world tour, which includes a summer run of US arenas. That leg kicks off July 9th in Baltimore, and you can get tickets here.
Pre-orders/pre-saves for SKELETÁ are available via this location, while the video for 'Satanized' and the album artwork and tracklist can be seen below. Tobias Forge will appear on the popular Morbid podcast this Friday (March 7th) for an exclusive interview about the new album.

A Viral Cybertruck Hoax Got So Big, Tesla Had to Break Its Silence
Elon Musk has always wanted the Cybertruck to be the vehicle everyone talks about. After a bizarre video went viral over the weekend, he got his wish, just not in the way he intended. The rumor grew so outlandish and spread so far that Tesla, a company that famously doesn't have a public relations department, was forced to do something it rarely does: publicly deny it. The incident highlights the Cybertruck's strange and precarious position. It's a vehicle so polarizing and so relentlessly hyped by its creator that it has become a magnet for controversy and, now, viral hoaxes. The drama started on Sunday when a user named 'bighuey313' posted a frantic video on Instagram from the driver's seat of his supposedly stranded Cybertruck. 'Wtf I'm in the middle of traffic, bro,' the user says, panning his camera over a dashboard screen displaying an alarming message: 'Tesla Cybertruck De-Activated. Critical Issue Detected | Contact Customer Service, Comply with Cease & Desist to Re-Activate.' 'Everything is locked. Cybertruck deactivated,' he continues. 'I can't move the car, bro, I'm stranded as f**k.' In a follow-up post, the user shared a photo of a supposed 'cease and desist' letter from Tesla, claiming the company was taking legal action against him for writing a song titled 'Cybertruck.' The implication was terrifying: Tesla had remotely disabled his vehicle over a minor legal dispute. He also claims Tesla sent him a cease and desist letter because he made a song titled Cybertruck or something like that. That's why the error message in the video mentions a cease and desist. 🤣 — Jeremy Judkins (@jeremyjudkins_) August 11, 2025The video exploded across every major social platform. But as it spread, eagle-eyed users began pointing out inconsistencies, noting that the signature on the letter was from a Tesla lawyer who no longer used that title. The rumor became so damaging that on Monday, Tesla's official account on X posted a rare, direct denial. 'This is fake – that's not our screen,' Tesla wrote. 'Tesla does NOT disable vehicles remotely.' This is fake – that's not our screen. Tesla does NOT disable vehicles remotely. — Tesla (@Tesla) August 11, 2025The fact that Tesla had to respond at all speaks to the Cybertruck's troubled reputation. As Gizmodo has previously reported, the sci-fi pickup has been a commercial bust. Its new vehicle sales plunged by over 50% in the second quarter, and its resale value has crashed by more than 30% in the used car market. This reality is a stark contrast to the relentless hype from Musk, who has called the truck 'apocalypse-level safe' and 'built bullet tough.' This combination of high-profile hype and real-world failure has made the Cybertruck a perfect target. People are primed to believe the worst about it, and the idea of a powerful, faceless corporation remotely disabling a customer's vehicle taps into the deepest fears of EV skeptics. For Tesla, the stakes were too high to ignore. While the recent, last-minute rush for expiring EV tax credits has given the Cybertruck a temporary sales pulse, its long-term viability is still in question. A viral rumor about the company having a remote 'kill switch' is the last thing a struggling brand needs. The entire saga shows that the Cybertruck is a cultural lightning rod, and Tesla will be forced to keep putting out the fires it inevitably creates. For a truck that's already struggling to win over buyers — and is increasingly viewed as a commercial flop — even a fake viral story can further erode its image.
