Fans were disappointed when Ghost were forced to cancel their true North American debut this Fall. However, the mysterious group will finally make their return to the U.S. and Canada in early 2012 with the 13 Dates Of Doom tour. This time around, Ghost will be joined by Blood Ceremony and Ancient VVisdom.

Along with a link to dates, Ghost posted the following message via Facebook:

“Children of America,

It is with an evil haunting chuckle that we are announcing that we are finally coming to North America. In the name of Satan, we will conduct thirteen rituals in thirteen different cities throughout the United States and Canada and now we are summoning all of our devotees to partake in these blasphemous eves of black magic.”

We’re just glad Ghost were able to take care of their visa issues, even without true identities (maybe “Papa Emeritus, the satanic pope” used his human alias). Check out a rundown of dates for Ghost’s upcoming North American tour after the jump.
