On savait Ghost prêt à relancer la machine musicale avec Cardinal Copia et un reboot du concept, c’est désormais chose faite avec le single « Rats » et son clip cinématographique comme disent les autres webzines (mais surtout un peu plus sympa que les prod’ du précédent album).
Au passage, on apprend donc que l’album à venir s’appellera « Prequelle », comptera 10 titres et sortira le 1er Juin prochain.
“It is loosely themed around the concept of death and doom. It’s a themed album around medieval times, but it’s definitely clinging onto a lot of very current things. The Black Death [plague] is a great example of a turning point for a whole civilization. Complete villages were annihilated. Most people knew very little, so all of it was God or the Devil — and about their faith being questioned: Why are we being stricken down by this great scourge? It must be because of our not fearing God enough and all this superstitious bullshit.
“There’s a lot that you would recognize today in online mannerisms. In many ways, we’ve gone back a few steps because now it’s closer to how it was back in the old days when people were standing at the square and all of a sudden, it’s like in Monty Python’s ‘Life Of Brian’: ‘Stone him! Ra! Ra! Ra!’ Public trials are very unsupervised and extremely swift and speak to the most primordial parts of us.”
