Ghost Release 'The Future Is A Foreign Land' Animated Video

Bruce Henne | 08-02-2024

(hennemusic) Ghost has released an animated music video for its latest single, "The Future Is A Foreign Land." Written by the 3rd Papa Nihil, the newly-uncovered 1969-era song is the sole previously-unreleased studio track to be featured on the soundtrack to the group's "Rite Here Rite Now" film.

Papa Nihil has previously been credited with writing "Kiss The Go-Goat" and "Mary On A Cross", which were issued on the 2019 EP "Seven Inches Of Satanic Panic."

"Rite Here Rite Now" captures Ghost over the course of a pair of sold-out shows at the Kia Forum in Los Angeles that also served as the two-night finale of the group's Re-Imperatour U.S.A. 2023.

The film presents a narrative story that picks up plot threads from the band's long-running webisode series; the result blends favorites from all five of Ghost's albums interwoven with the silver screen debuts of a few faces familiar to the band's legions of fans-all interacting behind the scenes with Ghost's Papa Emeritus IV, as his future and fate lay in the hands of the Ministry.
