It appears Ghost are embarking on the writing stages for a follow-up to 2022’s Impera. The Swedish musical outfit’s mastermind, Tobias Forge, recently spoke to Metal Hammer, discussing his unique views on compiling a brand new recipe, err, album, after revealing he has “a few songs” ready for their next album.

Forge went into detail with a metaphor on how he views writing the next album:

“I like to compare what I’m doing to being a chef. A chef with a few different interests and specialities. So you might start a few different restaurants – an Italian one, a Greek one, an Asian Fusion one. But what they all have in common is the seasoning and the decor and the interior design… the secret sauce. With me, each record, each new cycle, is a new restaurant, but I don’t have to sit with an empty paper and come up with something new every time because the secret sauce is the same. If it comes from my notebook, it will sound like Ghost.”
