Ghost announce new covers EP, Phantomime
Ghost have announced a new covers EP. Following the release of last year’s Impera, the group are once again delivering a new set of interpretations of classic songs, much as they have done in the past with tracks by the likes of Depeche Mode and ABBA. They’ll release Phantomime via Loma Vista on May 18, and it features songs by Television, Genesis, The Stranglers, Iron Maiden and Tina Turner. That’s the cover art above. Today they’ve shared their take on Genesis’ “Jesus He Knows Me.” Hear it below and see the video (NSFW) here, and take a look at the EP’s tracklist.
They’re also on tour with Amon Amarth this summer. Check out those dates below.
Genesis Phantomime EP tracklist:
“See No Evil” (Television)
