Ghost's latest Message From The Clergy video has been released, and it's set in a Dublin pub. The video finds Def Leppard frontman Joe Elliott enjoying a pint of Guinness before taking to the stage to perform Ghost's Spillways.
In the clip, Elliott reluctantly takes to the mic to perform, before appearing to be struck my some kind of electrical force, much to the puzzlement of onlookers.
Spillways was released as a single in July, and is now being re-released with a new vocal from Elliott. The track will be available on streaming platforms from midnight EST, and can be pre-saved now.
In April last year Metal Hammer asked Elliott what he thought of Ghost's Impera album, and his praise was thoroughly fulsome.
"I listened to it all, and I thought it was absolutely stunning," said Elliott. "It’s like a whole new genre of music – it’s way more Toto than death metal or any of that stuff. It’s like the song Spillways. It starts off like Hold The Line by Toto or Jane by Jefferson Starship – one of those classic 70s songs that begin on the piano before these big, chunky chords come in."
Def Leppard's World Tour with Mötley Crüe kicks off next month with a pair of shows in Florida, before heading to South and Central America. The tour reaches Europe in May. Full dates below,
