“PINK ELEPHANT”
TITLE TRACK & VISUALIZER OUT NOW
NEW ALBUM OUT MAY 9
APPEARING MAY 10 ON SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE

Arcade Fire has unveiled “Pink Elephant,” the title track of the band’s forthcoming seventh studio album, out May 9, 2025 via Columbia Records. Available now across all digital platforms and accompanied by a visualizer that can be seen HERE, “Pink Elephant” is the second brand new song to be made available from the album of the same name, following the “thrumming bass line and anthemic glimmers” (BILLBOARD) of “Year of the Snake.”
Arcade Fire will appear May 10 on SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE. Taking place the day after Pink Elephant’s arrival, the performance will mark the band’s sixth time as musical guest.
The term “pink elephant” refers to that paradoxical effect where the effort to suppress a thought leads to it being impossible to avoid— as exemplified in the song “Pink Elephant” by the impassioned futility of the repeated refrain of “Take your mind off me.”
The first full-length collection of new Arcade Fire music since 2022’s GRAMMY-nominated international #1 album WE, Pink Elephant is comprised of 10 new tracks of cinematic mystical punk clocking in at 42 minutes. Pink Elephant is produced by Win Butler, Régine Chassagne and Daniel Lanois and was recorded at Win and Régine’s own Good News Recording Studio in New Orleans.
When experienced in its entirety, Pink Elephant invites the listener on a sonic odyssey – a quest for life – that exists within the perception of the individual, a meditation on both darkness and light, the beauty within. The layers of this condensed epic unfold to reveal new dimensions with each successive listen.
In the lead-up to Pink Elephant’s release, Arcade Fire has embarked on a limited series of special gigs in select cities — including tonight at New Orleans’ Saenger Theater and London’s Royal Albert Hall on 14th May — performing the upcoming new album in its entirety. Visit Arcade Fire site and socials for more information on these intimate sold out shows, or alternatively download the Circle of Trust app – a resource for Arcade Fire news, music, videos, early access to tickets, exclusive merch, and episodes of Santa Pirata Radio, where the band speak directly to fans and offer personal insights and behind the scenes info on all things Arcade Fire.

GHOST
NEW ALBUM OUT NOW
“Peacefield” New Single Live Now

Following what seemed an interminable wait to its global legion of fans, GHOST’s excruciatingly anticipated new album, SKELETÁ, is at long last out today, April 25, via Loma Vista Recordings.
The lead up to SKELETÁ’s full release has been punctuated by a cavalcade of world-spanning events that have only elevated the fervor of the album’s exuberant welcome. This week alone witnessed the unveiling of the recorded version of “Peacefield,” the monolithic anthem opening both the new record and the sold-out arena performances comprising the first leg of the SKELETOUR WORLD TOUR 2025. The faithful also assembled in full regalia for SKELETÁ-Eve Midnight Sales celebrating the arrival of the band’s sixth psalm at close to 150 record stores around the globe. With demand for the midnight mass events far exceeding the number of suitable physical locations, GHOST’s added live-streamed SKELETÁ Rockin’ Eve event took the invocation of the new offering to devotees in all corners of the world, ensuring that not a single fan was left out of the festivities.
The coming of SKELETÁ was previously heralded by first single “Satanized”—dubbed a “catchy goth-rock epic” by VICE—and the rapturously received “Lachryma”—deemed “economical, vicious, and contemporary, but tinged by ‘80s rhapsody” by PASTE and “phantasmagoric” by REVOLVER. Both advance tracks have remained perched atop streaming music and video charts, thanks to GHOST’s singularly passionate following that includes more than 10 million combined Spotify monthly listeners and YouTube subscribers.
As if all of the above was not enough, GHOST’s blockbuster SKELETOUR WORLD TOUR 2025 opened to overwhelmingly ecstatic critical and popular reception from the moment the first notes of “Peacefield” filled the AO Arena in Manchester UK with deafening applause on the tour’s April 15 opening night. Featuring the flesh and bone debut of frontman Papa V Perpetua, the SKELETOUR WORLD TOUR 2025 is the most staggeringly ambitious incarnation of the GHOST live ritual to date. Having completed a string of sold out arena shows across the UK, the tour is currently making its way through the European territories, presaging a North American campaign that will begin July 9 in Baltimore and include GHOST’s historic first-ever headlining show at New York’s hallowed Madison Square Garden on July 22. With more shows to be announced soon, the SKELETOUR WORLD TOUR 2025 ritual experience promises to expand the GHOST community to attract its largest and most diverse audiences to date. From lifelong disciples to the curious uninitiated first-timers to the outcasts and others who find solace in the ritual, all are welcome to escape the travails of daily life and to become one with the enthralling spectacle hailed by KERRANG on opening night in Manchester as “bones and wings and sparkling and bedazzled macabre glory… f***ing brilliant.”
The tour’s kick-off also marked the world premiere of GTV, the new channel dedicated to exclusive coverage of all things GHOST and SKELETOUR. Join host Vanessa Warwick as she welcomes any and all to join the Ghoulbangers’ Ball for in-depth and behind the scenes coverage available only HERE

“It’s an astonishing version of an already acclaimed album. B-Real and Sen Dog jam at the front of the stage, while DJ Lord rips away at his turntable and Bobo beats up on the drums. At the orchestra’s front is Troy Miller, who commands his musicians like an army… it’s a testimony to Cypress Hill’s ever-alluring sound.” — The Los Angeles Times
“A blistering, badass collaboration that’s no joke… CH’s reefer-drenched repertoire is not only elevated to a higher level by the LSO, it’s reworked, recharged and reimagined without losing its edge” — Los Angeles Magazine

“Lachryma”
SKELETÁ IN STORES APRIL 25
SKELETOUR WORLD TOUR 2025 Begins April 15
“In The Middle Of The Night It Feeds
In The Middle Of The Night It Eats You”

GHOST has unveiled “Lachryma,” the second advance offering from the GRAMMY-winning Swedish theatrical rock icons’ feverishly anticipated new album, SKELETÁ, out April 25 via Loma Vista Recordings.
Arriving in tandem with a lucid nightmare of a video featuring Papa V Perpetua’s first full performance as newly anti-christened frontman, “Lachryma” is quite possibly the most emblematic example to date of GHOST’s signature balance of dark lyrical foreboding and irresistible melodic uplift. Following closely on the hooves of first SKELETÁ single “Satanized”—dubbed a “catchy goth-rock epic” by VICE and hailed by BROOKLYN VEGAN as “the band’s trademark occult rock sounding as equally eerie and triumphant as ever”—“Lachryma” supplants the demonic hooks of its predecessor with a purple haze of sonic flourishes that accomplish something even more insidious: a bonafide modern day rock anthem about weeping. The sweet turns sour, the vile rot attacks, yet you can’t stop singing along… even as the purple tears begin to fall, as they’re flowing HERE.
GHOST’s sixth psalm, SKELETÁ, is its most unflinchingly introspective work to date. Where previous GHOST albums dealt largely with chronicling and/or observing outward facing subject matter—such as IMPERA’s meditations on the rise and fall of empires and its predecessor Prequelle’s evocations of the ravages of era-defining plagues—SKELETA’s lyrics render the distinct individual emotional vistas of each of its 10 songs in one-on-one fashion, at times as if in a dialogue with oneself in a mirror. The end result is a singular collection of timeless, universal sentiments, all filtered through a prism of a uniquely personal point of view.
The physical manifestation of SKELETÁ will be heralded by the recently announced SKELETÁ-Eve Midnight Sales. Reclaim the night with your fellow GHOST faithful, as you celebrate the arrival of SKELETÁ at one of the many participating stores around the globe at midnight (local). Fans who purchase the new album at these ceremonies can have it marked with a Grucifix stamp, as they join GHOST in reviving and continuing the hallowed rock and roll tradition of the midnight mass sale.
Beginning April 15 at the AO Arena in Manchester UK, SKELETÁ will be brought to life over the course of GHOST’s impending SKELETOUR WORLD TOUR 2025. The most ambitious incarnation of the GHOST live ritual to date, SKELETOUR WORLD TOUR 2025 recently revealed a first wave of more than 55 dates—including a historic first-ever headlining show at New York’s hallowed Madison Square Garden—with more shows to be announced soon. With tickets already selling at a brisk pace, the SKELETOUR WORLD TOUR 2025 ritual experience promises to expand the GHOST community to attract its largest and most diverse audiences to date. From lifelong disciples to the curious uninitiated first-timers to the outcasts and others who find solace in the ritual, all are welcome to escape the travails of daily life and to become one with the phantasmagoric spectacle that moved THE LOS ANGELES TIMES to rave “As far as live acts go, they’re one of the best in the business” and THE WALL STREET JOURNAL to anoint the band as “the next generation of arena stars.”
As GHOST continues to strengthen its bond with the world-spanning legion of kindred souls that commune with the band and each other at its vaunted live rituals, it’s no exaggeration to describe GHOST — and the uniquely intense connection formed with the faithful who find refuge in the personae, lore and world Forge has created — as a singular global phenomenon.

DEPECHE MODE ANNOUNCES NEW CINEMATIC EXPERIENCE
WITH DEPECHE MODE: M
Directed by Acclaimed Mexican Filmmaker Fernando Frias
Film to Premiere in Theaters Worldwide Later This Year

Photo Credit: Toni François
Depeche Mode has announced an expressive and dynamic cinematic film titled Depeche Mode: M, featuring interstitials and archival footage from the band’s Mexico City shows on the 2023-2024 Memento Mori Tour. The feature-length film, conceptualized and directed by award-winning filmmaker Fernando Frias, takes audiences on a profound musical journey, using nearly 200,000 Mexican fans’ fervent connection with the band as a window into the band’s timeless global influence, and a powerful tribute to the unbreakable connection between music, tradition and the human spirit.
Through Frias’ creative lens, the cinematic experience weaves footage from the three sold-out shows at Mexico City’s Foro Sol Stadium to explore the parallels between the themes on Depeche Mode’s latest album Memento Mori and the deep connection to death and mortality in Mexican culture. Frias is best known for his award-winning film I’m No Longer Here, which won Mexico’s prestigious Ariel Academy Awards with 10 wins, including Best Picture and Best Direction. The film also earned Frias a DGA nomination for Outstanding Directorial Achievement. Additionally, it was Mexico’s submission to the Oscars in 2021 and was shortlisted for Best International Feature. His latest film, I Don’t Expect Anyone to Believe Me, premiered to critical acclaim.
Depeche Mode: M will premiere in theaters later this year and follows the band during its Mexico City stop during the Memento Mori Tour, which saw them play to more than 3 million fans at 112 shows around the world and was hailed by Rolling Stone as “a stunning celebration of life and music.” The tour followed Depeche Mode’s 15th studio album, Memento Mori, released in 2023 to wide critical acclaim. An indelible inspiration to fans, critics and artists alike, Depeche Mode continues to forge ahead, with the Memento Mori album and tour representing just the latest chapter of a peerless and ongoing legacy.
Depeche Mode: M is produced by Columbia Records, Anonymous Content and REDRUM. Sony Music Vision is the distributor.

ARCADE FIRE
NEW ALBUM OUT MAY 9“YEAR OF THE SNAKE” SINGLE & VIDEO OUT NOW

Pink Elephant is the seventh studio album by Arcade Fire, (Win Butler, Régine Chassagne, Jeremy Gara, Tim Kingsbury and Richard Reed Parry), and will be released on May 9, 2025 via Columbia Records. Pink Elephant‘s arrival is preceded by first single “Year of the Snake,” available now across all digital platforms and as a video which can be seen HERE.
Composed of 10 new tracks of cinematic mystical punk and clocking in at 42 minutes, Pink Elephant is produced by Win Butler, Régine Chassagne and Daniel Lanois and was recorded at Win and Régine’s own Good News Recording Studio in New Orleans.
The term “pink elephant” refers to that paradoxical effect where the effort to suppress a thought leads to it being impossible to avoid.
When experienced in its entirety, Pink Elephant invites the listener on a sonic odyssey – a quest for life – that exists within the perception of the individual, a meditation on both darkness and light, the beauty within. The layers of this condensed epic unfold to reveal new dimensions with each successive listen.
First track “Year of the Snake” is a joyous instant classic buoyed by the enveloping warmth of Régine’s vocals and features her Arcade Fire debut on bass, and Win Butler’s debut on drums. The song’s title refers to 2025 being the Lunar Year of the Snake, which represents a time for renewal, positive transformation and new beginnings as the band sheds its skin once again and is born anew – delivering the unique trademark sound of Arcade Fire.
“It’s tough to think of another band that’s as formally concerned with (or as preternaturally adept at) enabling full-body catharsis” – The New Yorker (WE)
The visuals for “Year of the Snake” represent the creative outcome of a special project with the band’s longtime collaborator David Wilson, alongside video artist Mark Prendergast. Through psychedelic wanderlust and the spirit of indie cinema road epics, the video follows Win and Régine as they take the viewer on a voyage in their festively appointed 1994 Ford Aerostar. From New Orleans’ Mardi Gras, to Houston’s rodeos, the viewer is pulled into a mystical quest, from carnivals to dormant railroad tracks and myriad points between. All roads eventually lead to Willie Nelson’s Luck Ranch outside of Austin, where they debut “Year of the Snake” under the full blood moon.
This week also marks the debut of the Circle of Trust app – a resource for Arcade Fire news, music, videos, early access to tickets, exclusive merch, and the premiere episode of Santa Pirata Radio, where the band speak directly to fans and offer personal insights and behind the scenes info on all things Arcade Fire. The Circle of Trust app features the exclusive release of the track “Cars and Telephones” and its accompanying video. This previously unreleased rarity is Win’s first composition that he ever played for Régine.
The Circle of Trust app can be downloaded HERE
In the coming days Arcade Fire will announce special gigs in select cities where the band will perform Pink Elephant in its entirety prior to its release. Fans should stay tuned to the band’s socials for more information on these intimate performances.
Pink Elephant is the first full-length collection of new Arcade Fire music since 2022’s WE, which debuted at #1 on Billboard’s Top U.S. Albums Sales, #1 in the UK, Ireland and the Netherlands, plus Top 5 positions in Canada, Belgium, France, Germany and Switzerland. Also topping the U.S. Rock, Alternative and Vinyl Billboard charts, WE was nominated for a Best Alternative Grammy and described by Variety as “a remarkable new 40-minute opus of intimate depth and profound candor.” and by Stereogum as “the sound of this band condensing what they do best into its most potent form.”
The track listing for Pink Elephant is:
- Open Your Heart or Die Trying
- Pink Elephant
- Year of the Snake
- Circle of Trust
- Alien Nation
- Beyond Salvation
- Ride or Die
- I Love Her Shadow
- She Cries Diamond Rain
- Stuck In My Head
Pink Elephant will be available in multiple formats. Pre-Order HERE

Metallica teams up with American Red Cross to help save lives
Band will host blood drives across U.S. leg of the M72 World Tour
Limited-edition merch for fans who come to give
Live music and giving back – two incredible experiences that will go hand-in-hand this spring and summer, thanks to a new collaboration between Metallica and the American Red Cross. Metallica and its foundation, All Within My Hands (AWMH), urges fans to give blood at select tour locations across the U.S. to help ensure hospital patients never have to wait for critical, lifesaving care.
All Within My Hands takes advantage of opportunities on the road to contribute to each community the tour visits. As seasons change, the need for blood is constant and even tends to ramp up around summer holidays. Donors will have the chance to keep hospital shelves stocked across the country by giving blood at the following tour stops, with several drives happening inside concert venues while the M72 crew builds the stage:
Metallica x Red Cross Blood Drive Dates:
04/14-18/25 – Liverpool, NY
04/29/25 – Nashville, TN
05/06/25 – Blacksburg, VA
05/01,02,06/25 – Columbus, OH
05/20/25 – Philadelphia, PA
05/27/25 – Arlington, VA
05/30/25 – Charlotte, NC
05/30/25 – Atlanta, GA
06/10,13/25 – Houston, TX
06/18/25 – Santa Clara, CA
06/23,24/25 – Denver, CO
All who come to give blood at these drives will get a limited-edition T-shirt, while supplies last. By rolling up a sleeve to give, the Metallica family can help trauma victims, those facing cancer, new mothers, people living with sickle cell disease and so many more.
“The Red Cross is incredibly appreciative that Metallica is helping fuel the blood supply this summer,” said Darren Irby, executive director of national partnerships for Red Cross Biomedical Services. “The band and their foundation are committed to making every tour stop a better place, and this selfless act of rallying fans to donate blood will leave a lifesaving legacy to so many communities.”
Donors of all blood types are needed now. To make an appointment to give blood, visit RedCrossBlood.org/Metallica. Individuals who are 17 years of age in most states (16 with parental consent where allowed by state law), weigh at least 110 pounds, and are in generally good health may be eligible to donate blood. For additional information and eligibility requirements, visit RedCrossBlood.org.

GHOST
Chapter 20: Arrival Of A Secret Agent
New Webisode Live HERE
SKELETÁ IN STORES APRIL 25
Following the rapture generated by the announcement of the imminent release of SKELETÁ, GHOST now unveils a brand new webisode: the ominously titled Chapter 20: Arrival Of A Secret Agent is the latest installment of the ongoing Chapters series that, along with the feature film RITE HERE RITE NOW and the SISTER IMPERATOR comic book, continues to add to the canon of GHOST lore.
Chapter 20 checks in on recently replaced GHOST frontman Papa Emeritus IV — now rechristened Frater Imperator and promoted to “boss” of the Ministry — as he navigates the aftermath of his stint in the spotlight and begins to cultivate a less than healthy obsession with his replacement — and fraternal twin — Papa V Perpetua. Chapter 20 features the debut of a number of new characters likely to be integral to the new storyline, including Mrs. Psaltarian and Judith the socialist media manager. The new chapter also offers a look at the inner office environment of the Ministry, a setting that’s sure to serve as the stage for crucial developments impacting the lives and lore of GHOST and its millions of fans worldwide.
Papa V Perpetua was revealed to the world during the climactic final seconds of the video for “Satanized,” the “catchy goth-rock epic” (VICE) first single from SKELETÁ, the anxiously awaited new GHOST album out April 25 via Loma Vista Recordings. Trending #2 across YouTube upon its premiere and propelling SKELETÁ the top of pre-order / pre-save charts the world over, “Satanized” has been instant and profound in its singular impact, with critical notices including:
“… finds the band’s trademark occult rock sounding as equally eerie and triumphant as ever” — BROOKLYN VEGAN
“… sees Ghost fully embracing their melodic-AOR side”— CONSEQUENCE
“… a revolutionary video… a great new song”— LOUDWIRE
“… big swingin’ riffs, a face-melting guitar solo and an overall sense of dread… and I am here for it” — METAL INJECTION
“… it’s big, anthemic, and catchy as hell” — METAL SUCKS
“… rapturously anthemic… Ghost’s awe-inspiring new era (#1 Best New Songs)”— REVOLVER
“On full-length album Skeletá, Forge slips into a new, hauntingly intimate theme: humanity. Across high-pitched soprano choirboys and electric guitar power chords, a cataclysmic tale of morality and humanity ensues.” — ROLLING STONE
“… they continue to do their brand of occult rock better than anyone else, and certainly on such an impressive mainstream level… It’s unholy, retro and almost hallucinatory” — VICE
The release of “Satanized” and breaking news of SKELETÁ’s impending arrival were accompanied by the debut of The Satanizer, a first of its kind music video experience for fans who wish to be “Satanized.” Developed in partnership with Jason Zada (Elf Yourself), The Satanizer morphs its users into characters featured in the song’s melodramatic video. With a quick upload of their photo, The Satanizer sends out a personalized music video clip featuring the participant, who can in turn share via social media that they too have been “Satanized.” To date, The Satanizer has generated over 125,000 creates with a staggering 96% conversion (generate to save ratio) and over 5.5M impressions worldwide.

“DOA”
as featured in
DEATH OF A UNICORN
starring Paul Rudd and Jenna Ortega
NEW SONG AVAILABLE & FILM IN THEATERS EVERYWHERE TODAY

Six-time GRAMMY-winning multi-hyphenate St. Vincent has teamed up with A24 Music for the release of new song “DOA.” Written, recorded and performed entirely by St. Vincent, and mixed by Cian Riordan, exclusively for the A24 feature DEATH OF A UNICORN, “DOA” is now available across digital platforms simultaneously with the film’s theatrical release today.
The sweetly sinister pulsations and infectious guitar figures of “DOA” distinguish the song as yet another early 2025 highlight for St. Vincent. Recent months have seen her open the Nirvana set at FireAid and perform at the SNL50 Homecoming concert. Weeks earlier, her universally acclaimed seventh album All Born Screaming took Best Rock Song, Best Alternative Music Performance and Best Alternative Music Album honors at the 67th Annual GRAMMY Awards — at which she appeared in an all-star opening performance of “I Love L.A..” This week, St. Vincent resumed her All Born Screaming world tour March 26 in Curitiba, Brazil. Following its swing through South America and Mexico, the tour returns to the U.S. starting April 6 in Dallas.
DEATH OF A UNICORN stars Paul Rudd, Jenna Ortega, Will Poulter, Téa Leoni, and Richard E. Grant, and was written and directed by Alex Scharfman.
Wings
Venus and Mars 50th Anniversary Edition
Released Today on Half-Speed Mastered Vinyl and in Dolby ATMOS
Watch Live Videos For “Letting Go“ and “Rock Show“
Remastered in 4K

MPL and UMe commemorate the 50th anniversary of Wings’ fourth studio album Venus and Mars with a half speed master edition and Dolby ATMOS mix, released today and available HERE.
One of the world’s most beloved rock outfits, Wings came to define the era of 1970s arena rock, while dominating the airwaves with no fewer than 14 US Top 10 hits and 12 Top 10 hits in the UK. Following their 1973 masterpiece Band on the Run, Venus and Mars would represent another peak of Wings’ creative and commercial heyday. The band’s fourth studio album, it was released on May 27th 1975 ahead of the legendary Wings Over the World tour. Preceded by the US Number One single “Listen To What The Man Said” and featuring “Letting Go”, a fan favorite in Paul’s live set to this day, Venus and Mars hit Number One in the album charts on both sides of the Atlantic and went on to sell over 4 million copies worldwide.
50 years since the album’s original release, Venus and Mars has received critical acclaim anew, described “ingenious” in a 9/10 review in Uncut Magazine and “rifftastic tunes that juggle his melodic gifts and pop smarts with the desire to rock out” by MOJO.
In celebration of today’s release, live music videos of Wings performing “Letting Go” and “Rockshow” during the 1975 Wings Over The World tour, featuring Paul and Linda McCartney, Denny Laine, Jimmy McCulloch and Joe English, have been remastered in 4K. Watch “Letting Go” HERE. “Rockshow” premieres on YouTube HERE at 12:00 pm ET.
This special 50th anniversary vinyl edition was cut at half speed using a high-resolution transfer of the original master tapes from 1975 by Miles Showell at Abbey Road Studios. The album is presented as a meticulous reproduction of the original UK pressing, with recreations of the original “Venus and Mars are alright tonight” circular sticker and “comparative sizes of sun and planets” bookmark sticker, and comes with two posters with photography by Aubrey Powell and Sylvia de Swaan. The iconic album artwork by Hipgnosis has been meticulously recreated and presented in a gatefold sleeve.
Venus and Mars is also now available in Dolby ATMOS for the first time, newly mixed by Giles Martin and Steve Orchard.
Less than one year after Band on the Run’s release, the first recording sessions for Venus and Mars took place in November 1974, and featured a revamped Wings line-up. Following the departure of Denny Seiwell and Henry McCullough on the eve of the Band on the Run sessions in Lagos, Paul and Linda McCartney and Denny Laine were now joined by guitarist Jimmy McCulloch and drummer Geoff Britton. After recording “Letting Go”, “Medicine Jar” and “Love In Song” at Abbey Road Studios, Wings left London for New Orleans’ Sea Saint Studios, facing another unexpected line-up shift with Geoff Britton’s exit, recruiting Joe English to complete the album.
In tandem with Venus and Mars’ topping the charts worldwide, the album’s predecessor Band on the Run was continuing to build its global multi-platinum popularity. With a powerful new line-up solidified, Wings’ response to the overwhelming demand surrounding them was to launch the Wings Over the World tour – a 65-date run of shows starting in 1975 and stretching into October 1976.
The first Wings release for 2025, Venus and Mars follows 2024’s theatrical release of the rare Wings live-in-studio performance film One Hand Clapping and its accompanying album landing in the Best of 2024 lists of Billboard, Uproxx and the Los Angeles Times, as well as last year’s 50th anniversary edition of Band on the Run.
Looking ahead, the new book WINGS: The Story of a Band on the Run, will be published on November 4th, 2025 – a landmark account of Paul’s triumphant musical reinvention in the 1970s and the rise of one of the decade’s most iconic and vital bands. More exciting celebratory Wings activity and announcements are soon set to follow.

GHOST
SKELETÁ
New Album Out April 25 via Loma Vista Recordings
First Single and Video “Satanized” Out Now
SKELETOUR WORLD TOUR 2025 Begins April 15
Special Bonus Episode of MORBID Featuring Exclusive Interview Out Friday, March 7

GHOST has confirmed the release of its feverishly awaited new album: SKELETÁ, the GRAMMY-winning Swedish theatrical rock icons’ first full length offering of new material since 2022’s international #1 charting IMPERA, will manifest April 25 via Loma Vista Recordings.
SKELETÁ’s impending arrival is heralded by anthemic first single “Satanized,” and its unsettling new video featuring a first glimpse of GHOST’s newly anointed ringleader Papa V Perpetua—whose ascension was foreshadowed by the recent V is Coming! campaign, which culminated in the recent Sin City conclave that saw him crowned. “A demonic possession unlike any before” has never sounded so sweet as it does here — An avalanche of infectious hooks and harmonies is buoyed by a hypnotic shuffle, as the narrator succumbs to dark forces within and without, helplessly acknowledging their own blasphemy and heresy as it inexorably consumes them. By the time the song’s opening lines “There is something inside me and they don’t know if there is a cure” have moved from the inner monologue of the possessed to the ears of the hapless listener, it will already be too late: You will have been “Satanized.”
Today also marks the debut of The Satanizer, a first of its kind music video experience for fans who wish to be “Satanized.” Developed in partnership with Jason Zada (Elf Yourself), The Satanizer will morph its users into characters featured in the song’s melodramatic video. With a quick upload of their photo, The Satanizer will send out a personalized music video clip featuring the participant, who can in turn share via social media that they too have been “Satanized.”
Additionally, chart-topping podcast MORBID will dedicate a special bonus episode to GHOST this Friday, March 7, featuring an exclusive interview with Tobias Forge. Join Tobias and hosts Ash and Alaina for this one of a kind first deep dive into all things SKELETÁ, special guests and so much more.
The genesis of SKELETÁ is rooted in the wake of a world-spanning years-long touring campaign in support of IMPERA—a period that saw IMPERA top album charts the world over and winning an American Music Award and an iHeart Radio Music Award, as well as the band earning its first RIAA-certified platinum single (“Mary on a Cross”) and presiding over the highest grossing hard rock cinema event in North American history (its feature film debut RITE HERE RITE NOW). As this sustained maelstrom ultimately wound down, GHOST mastermind Tobias Forge’s next uncharted creative direction would prove to be an inward journey. This deeply introspective turn in Forge’s creative process would ultimately result in SKELETÁ: a collection of 10 new songs originating from and cutting as close to the bone as (in)humanly possible.
GHOST’s sixth psalm, SKELETÁ, is its most unflinchingly introspective work to date. Where previous GHOST albums dealt largely with chronicling and/or observing outward facing subject matter—such as IMPERA’s meditations on the rise and fall of empires and its predecessor Prequelle’s evocations of the ravages of era-defining plagues—SKELETA’s lyrics render the distinct individual emotional vistas of each of its 10 songs in one-on-one fashion, at times as if in a dialogue with oneself in a mirror. The end result is a singular collection of timeless, universal sentiments, all filtered through a prism of a uniquely personal point of view.
SKELETÁ will be brought to life over the course of GHOST’s impending SKELETOUR WORLD TOUR 2025. The most ambitious incarnation of the GHOST live ritual to date, SKELETOUR WORLD TOUR 2025 recently revealed a first wave of more than 55 dates—including a historic first-ever headlining show at New York’s hallowed Madison Square Garden—with more to be announced. With tickets already selling at a brisk pace, the SKELETOUR WORLD TOUR 2025 ritual experience promises to expand the GHOST community to attract its largest and most diverse audiences to date. From lifelong disciples to the curious uninitiated first-timers to the outcasts and others who find solace in the ritual, all are welcome to escape the travails of daily life and to become one with the phantasmagoric spectacle that moved THE LOS ANGELES TIMES to rave “As far as live acts go, they’re one of the best in the business” and THE WALL STREET JOURNAL to anoint the band as “the next generation of arena stars.”
As GHOST continues to strengthen its bond with the world-spanning legion of kindred souls that commune with the band and each other at its vaunted live rituals, it’s no exaggeration to describe GHOST — and the uniquely intense connection formed with the faithful who find refuge in the personae, lore and world Forge has created — as a singular global phenomenon
SKELETÁ is released April 25, 2025 via Loma Vista Recordings.

BECK
2025 ORCHESTRAL SHOWS ANNOUNCED
General On-Sale Friday, March 7 at 10am Local Time *

Having dazzled crowds last summer at landmark venues from New York’s Carnegie Hall to the Hollywood Bowl, Beck has confirmed that North American fans will once again have the chance to experience the magic of his live orchestral performances. This summer, Beck will be accompanied by native orchestras for nine shows in eight cities in the U.S. and Canada—as they unite to reimagine a body of work that includes hits and deep cuts from classic Beck works including the multi-platinum Odelay, world-tripping Mutations, somber and reflective Sea Change, and GRAMMY Album of the Year winner Morning Phase, plus a share of surprises.
Praise for Beck’s 2024 orchestral dates was uniformly effusive, including:
“Other cities and other coasts deserve a piece of this big a musical win, too… deeply gorgeous stuff” — VARIETY
“The Philadelphia Orchestra could hardly have picked a more suitable partner for its final pop-classical collaboration of the year in Philly than Beck, together creating a satisfying and refreshingly freewheeling evening” — PHILADELPHIA INQUIRER
“Throughout the two-hour set, Beck played the role of big band leader and it was delightful… Overall, it was a wonderful way to spend a summer night.” — ALBANY TIMES UNION
“The orchestral arrangements were the real star of the night, a signpost of [Beck’s] maturity as an artist… This was Beck’s Golden Age, and he succeeded in putting his all into a performance worthy of a brick in the 57th St. subway.” — ROLLING STONE

“It’s a trip to see that hip hop can be done in this form — and at a venue as prestigious as the Royal Albert Hall. It was truly an honor and a privilege, and now that experience can be shared.”—B-Real
Cypress Hill celebrates the highest of high honors of its storied career with Black Sunday Live at the Royal Albert Hall, a three-day theatrical event and live album both immortalizing the hip hop icons’ now legendary once in a lifetime collaboration with the London Symphony Orchestra.
Arriving at U.S. and Canadian theaters March 30, 31 and April 2 (U.S. only) via Mercury Studios in partnership with Iconic Events Releasing, Cypress Hill and the London Symphony Orchestra: Black Sunday Live at the Royal Albert Hall brings the unprecedented collision of the trio’s 1993 masterpiece with one of the world’s most renowned orchestral ensembles to the eyes and ears of music lovers everywhere. A historic spectacle previously witnessed only by the thousands of Cypress devotees who packed Royal Albert Hall on July 10, 2024, the theatrical premiere and album release of Black Sunday Live at the Royal Albert Hall will allow the world at large to witness the intoxicating dark magic conjured when Cypress Hill and the 70-strong LSO bring this triple-platinum opus to life together.
“It was amazing to take this journey with the people of London who supported Cypress Hill from day one.” —Sen Dog
The film and its accompanying album find B-Real, Sen Dog, Eric Bobo and co. in top form, performing nimbly atop monolithic arrangements running the gamut from ominous to sublime. The majestic classical embellishments to Black Sunday — as well as an assortment of cuts spanning the Cypress catalog — are the masterful work of conductor and arranger Troy Miller, who comments,“I’ve always been excited by the idea of merging genres, and to do it with the most prolific hip hop group of all time and the most exquisite symphony orchestra in the world was an honor! The band gave me free rein on the arrangements and we made something truly unique and mesmerizing – what a sublime collaboration!”
“LSO doesn’t collaborate with just anyone. So it’s a big honor for them to want to do something with us.” —Eric Bobo
What began as a joke on a 1996 episode of The Simpsons has now become a true multi-cultural milestone. Cypress Hill and the London Symphony Orchestra: Black Sunday Live at the Royal Albert Hall, the feature-length concert film, will be in cinemas for a special theatrical event March 30, 31 and April 2. For further information, go to https://www.iconicreleasing.com/events/cypress-hill/. Cypress Hill and the London Symphony Orchestra: Black Sunday Live at the Royal Albert Hall, the full length live album, will be released June 6 via Mercury Studios.

About Cypress Hill:
Naming themselves after a local street in Los Angeles, Cypress Hill burst on the scene in 1991 with the release of their self-titled debut album. The singles “How I Could Just Kill a Man” and “The Phuncky Feel One” became underground hits, and the group’s public pro-marijuana stance earned them many fans among the alternative rock community. Cypress Hill followed their debut with Black Sunday in the summer of 1993, which debuted at #1 on Billboard’s Top 200, garnered three GRAMMY® Award nominations, and went triple platinum in the U.S. Featuring timeless anthems “I Ain’t Goin’ Out Like That,” “Insane In The Brain,” “When The Shit Goes Down,” and “Hits From The Bong,” Black Sunday made Cypress Hill the first rap group to have two simultaneous Top 10 albums, and the first Latino-American hip-hop group to achieve multi-platinum success—a momentum that continued to mine platinum and gold during a succession of albums including III: Temples of Boom (1995), IV (1998), Skull & Bones(2000), Stoned Raiders (2001), Til Death Do Us Part (2004), Rise Up (2010), Elephants on Acid (2018) and certified bangers “Throw Your Set In The Air,” “Dr. Greenthumb,” “(Rap) Superstar,” “(Rock) Superstar,” “Champion Sound” and many more.
Cypress Hill made history once again in 2019 when the group was honored with their very own star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. In 2022, the band released its 10th album Back In Black to critical acclaim, with Kerrang declaring it “solidifies their status as a collective still expanding upon their legacy.” That same year, Cypress Hill released their “Insane in the Brain” documentary, via Mass Appeal’s “Hip Hop 50” franchise in partnership with Showtime. The New York Times praised the documentary as “an often-engaging chronicle of the group”, while Variety declared “the Cypress Hill documentary should put into perspective their pervasive influence and groundbreaking, Latin-tinged hip-hop crossed with booming metallic rock.” On July 10, 2024, Cypress Hill once again made pop culture history, performing a historic show with the London Symphony Orchestra at the Royal Albert Hall. Initially predicted by an episode of The Simpsons 28 years prior, the collaboration was brought to life in a sold-out, one-night-only event that showcased the revered Black Sunday in its entirety, with an unforgettable classical crossover hailed by several publications as a milestone of “hip hop history.”
