Ghost have returned with details of a new album. The Swedish outfit will deliver fifth studio LP Impera on March 11 via Loma Vista.

Following 2018's Prequelle, the 12-song Impera is previewed today by "Call Me Little Sunshine," which arrives alongside a video from director Matt Mahurin. Starring Ruby Modine, the clip employs some dark and devilish imagery in spite of its title.

Impera also features "Hunter's Moon," which was previously heard over the end credits of David Gordon Green's Halloween Kills last October.

Ahead of the album's arrival, Ghost will kick off a co-headlining 26-date arena tour with Volbeat next week (January 25). While there are no Canadian shows included, a complete itinerary can be found via Ghost's official website.

Last year saw Ghost contribute to Metallica's 53-song Black Album covers compilation. Find out where their entry landed in our Metallica Blacklist ranking.
