Ghost gets darker and heavier on ‘Lachryma,’ second single from upcoming ‘Skeletá’ album

Pivoting from the pop leanings of “Satanized,” Ghost has shared the darker and heavier “Lachryma,” the second single from its upcoming sixth full-length album “Skeletá” (April 25, 2025, Loma Vista Recordings; pre-order here).

“We wish to inform you that you can never run …. you cannot hide,” the band said.

Watch the “Lachryma” video, directed by Amir Chamdin, below.


Ghost also announced this week that record stores around the world will host listening parties for “Skeletá” at midnight local time Friday, April 25.

“We wish to inform you that we encourage you to reclaim the night!” the band said on social media. “When the monstrance clock strikes MIDNIGHT (local) on Friday, April 25, Ghost fans will ring in the release of Ghost’s 6th psalm Skeletá. Find the nearest participating record store around the globe and partake in this Midnight Music Mania! Those in attendance will have their albums SATANIZED, receiving an official Grucifix stamp on their copy, proving to the world that they are on the level! Let the countdown begin, 10, 9, 8…..Ghost’s Skeletá-Eve Midnight Sales are one night only, be there!”
