Ghost have released a new single, Hunter’s Moon.
The first new material from the Swedes in two years, the song features on the soundtrack of the new Halloween Kills film, and will be released on seven inch vinyl on January 21, 2022 with legendary composer John Carpenter’s Halloween Kills (Main Title) theme as the B-side. The single is now available to pre-oder.
Produced by Klas Åhlund and mixed by Andy Wallace (Nirvana, Slayer), the track features guitar from Opeth’s Fredrik Åkesson and piano from The Soundtrack Of Our Lives founder Martin Hederos. Producer Max Grahn, whose recent album credits include work with Justin Bieber and The Weeknd, is credited alongside ‘A Ghoul Writer’ as the song’s composer and lyricist.
The origins of Hunter’s Moon can be traced back to the evening of November 16, 2018 when, while the band were in Los Angeles to headline the Forum, Ghost mainman Tobias Forge met with key figures at Blumhouse, the production house behind Halloween Kills (and Paranormal Activity, Insidious, The Purge, etc). Forge was later invited to spend time on the Halloween Kills set with director David Gordon Green.
