The newly released video for Ghost’s latest track “Lachryma” provides an exciting glimpse into the striking new attire of the Nameless Ghouls. This unveiling is not just about music; it marks a significant visual transformation in the band’s ongoing artistic journey.

With each album cycle, the enigmatic frontman of Ghost, along with the Nameless Ghouls, reinvents their aesthetic appeal. The recent introduction of their new lead vocalist, Papa V Perpetua, was first announced in early February, coinciding with his slated performance at Black Sabbath’s final concert in Birmingham this summer. This shift not only signals a change in leadership but also a fresh creative direction for the band.

Shortly after the announcement, Ghost released the electrifying track “Satanized,” along with details about their much-anticipated upcoming album, Skeleta. Thus, “Lachryma” emerges as the second tantalizing taste of new music from this album cycle, providing fans with a detailed glimpse into the Ghouls’ revamped looks.

The video offers a clearer view of the Ghouls, complementing what can be seen in their 2025 press photo (see below). This new visual narrative not only showcases their outfits but also enhances the overall experience for the viewers.

In the visually captivating video, the Ghouls don outfits that evoke the essence of glittery black skeletons, creating a striking aesthetic. Additionally, Papa V Perpetua features a different look that allows the audience to see the expressive facial features of Tobias Forge more clearly than with his traditional masks, adding an intimate connection to the performance.

“To be honest, I wasn’t initially convinced by the outfits showcased in the photos or the ‘Satanized’ video, but witnessing them in action has completely changed my perspective. I’m loving it,” a fan shared in a Reddit discussion, highlighting the transformative effect of the visual presentation.

Another fan expressed appreciation for the intentionally campy and low-budget aesthetic. As an admirer of ’60s and ’70s horror cinema, they noted that the quirky hats and the unique, textured visuals are iconic elements of the genre, significantly influencing this era of the band. Their comments reflect a broader trend in music where nostalgia for past styles is embraced.

“The cardboard set design is a direct homage to that era. If you look at some of the absurd Dracula films from that time, it embodies the same spirit, as does Dark Shadows (the series, not the movie). I adore this fresh take; it’s refreshing to see something innovative and different rather than the same repetitive themes,” they elaborated, showcasing a deep appreciation for the band’s creative direction.

Be sure to watch the video below to experience the outfits in action for yourself. The highly anticipated album Skeleta is set to be released on April 25, and fans can pre-order it through the band’s official website.
