Swedish occult rockers Ghost have just unveiled a hauntingly cinematic music video for their latest single “LachrymA” — and with it, they revealed a fresh look for their Nameless Ghouls.
The video is a visual continuation of Ghost’s dark, theatrical storytelling, blending religious iconography, mysterious rituals, and a dash of gothic flair. “LachrymA” features moody lighting, atmospheric camera work, and Papa Emeritus IV at the center of it all, radiating his usual charismatic menace.
This release is part of the promotion for Ghost’s recent compilation album, Phantomime, and continues their tradition of blurring the lines between rock performance and cinematic spectacle. The band has become known for creating story-driven visual content, and this video is no exception — it invites fans deeper into the cryptic universe that Tobias Forge and his masked crew have built.
New Ghouls, New Look
Alongside the release, Ghost also revealed the new stage outfits for their Nameless Ghouls. The updated costumes feature sleek, futuristic armor-like designs that move away from the medieval and demonic looks of previous eras. The Ghouls now wear matching masks with intricate metal textures and minimalist features, giving them an otherworldly, almost alien appearance. It’s a sharp evolution that keeps the mystery alive while adapting to the band’s ever-shifting aesthetic.
Fans online are already buzzing about the change, debating the symbolic meanings and praising the band for constantly pushing the boundaries of rock stagecraft.
Whether it’s through eerie ballads like “LachrymA” or their stunning visual artistry, Ghost continues to enchant — and unnerve — the rock world.
