Ghost performed a set at the Grammy Museum in Los Angeles earlier this week, with “new” frontman Cardinal Copia leading the band through a three-song set.

Fan-filmed footage showing snippets of the performance from the Clive Davis Theatre can be seen below.

Copia is joined onstage by three Nameless Ghouls, with the intimate show coming just before the band kick off their North American tour in support of upcoming album Prequelle.

It will be released on June 1 via Spinefarm Records.

Ghost are the cover stars of the brand new issue of Metal Hammer, which is on sale now. 

In an interview with Ghost mastermind Tobias Forge, the vocalist reports that the follow-up to 2015’s Meliora was motivated by the death of music icons Lemmy, David Bowie and Prince.

Forge tells the magazine: “I think we took people like Lemmy for granted – he was going to sit at our table forever, but now, there is a chair that is loudly empty. It’s definitely affected me way more than I thought it would. 

“It’s made me want to be a little bit more attentive when it comes to trying to make sure that you’re making the best of the opportunities that you have with your seniors. That is something that has affected me and this record a lot.”

The new issue of Metal Hammer also features Parkway Drive, Korn’s Jonathan Davis, Maynard James Keenan, Dimmu Borgir and much more.
