Ghost's new album will no longer be arriving this winter as previously reported. While talking about the effort with Sweden Rock Magazine, frontman Tobias Forge said that he is now planning to record in January and release it in late 2021. He said the following about that:
“The idea is for the album to be recorded in January. The actual recording will last around six weeks and then there’s two to three weeks of mixing and mastering. So sometime in March the record should be finished, but it won’t be released until after the summer. As it looks now, knock on wood, we will then go on tour. We won’t release an album until we know that we are actually going on tour. The album release will coincide with the start of a tour. Of course, we could announce an album release date and then, for some reason, it might not be possible to tour, but that’s a whole other matter.”
