As Chapter 24 of their wildly popular webisode series launches (“Frater is Delegating”), GHOST has unearthed a dusty gem and made its cover of Pet Shop Boys’ “It’s a Sin” available to stream across DSPs for the first time. Previously available only as a 7” vinyl bonus single in deluxe editions of GHOST’s 2018 album, Prequelle, the GRAMMY-winning Swedish theatrical rock icons’ version of the Pet Shop Boys classic makes good on the song’s co-writer Neil Tennant’s assertion that “’It’s a Sin’, at its heart, is a heavy metal record.”
In other news, GHOST’s “Lachryma” is nominated for a Best Metal Performance at the 2026 GRAMMY Awards. If it wins, it will be GHOST’s second GRAMMY following “Cirice” winning in the same category in 2016.
Finally, GHOST’s SKELETOUR TOUR will kick off a run of 20 new North American rituals beginning January 21 at the Kia Center in Orlando, FL and running through February 23 at the Intuit Dome in Los Angeles. GTV will be on hand for the festivities at every stop, capturing the passionate intensity of the GHOST fanbase that moved THE NEW YORK TIMES to comment, “a sense of devotion was palpable among fans. Showgoers streamed out of Penn Station dressed in Ghost-themed costumes, including skeletal face paint, papal robes and nun habits…”
