Grammy-winning Swedish occult rockers Ghost have just shared a new song, the huge arena-jam “Square Hammer.” It’s a really unbelievably catchy piece of work with one of the better hard rock/heavy pop hooks I’ve heard since, well, since Meliora came out. Since debuting the song on SiriusXM, they’ve announced that it’ll be part of an EP called Popestar that drops this Friday (9/16). Which, not coincidentally, is the day that their tour begins.
That tour features support on select dates from both Deafheaven and Marissa Nadler. That whole thing closes out with a big NYC show at the Kings Theatre on November 12 with Marissa Nadler, and tickets for that are on sale now.
All dates listed below, along with the stream of “Square Hammer,” below.
