On Friday 16th September Grammy Award-winning band Ghost declared the arrival of a new EP entitled Popestar, available now online and in record stores on CD, vinyl, and digital via Spinefarm Records/Caroline Australia. The surprise five-track offering features leading psalm “Square Hammer”, a new original track which was debuted earlier last week on Sirius XM’s OCTANE as part of a week long global rollout in which it was also featured on triple j's The Rackett. Ghost have also released a music video for “Square Hammer”, directed by Zev Deans. Watch the harrowing clip below.

The 'Popestar' EP also contains interpretations of selections by Echo and the Bunnymen, Simian Mobile Disco, Eurythmics, and Imperiet. Popestar was recorded by Papa Emeritus III and his nameless ghouls in Linköping, Sweden and produced by Tom Dalgety (Pixies, Royal Blood, Opeth).
 
Additionally, Ghost have also released a Deluxe Version of Meliora, their acclaimed 2015 Grammy® Award-winning album. Meliora Deluxe contains the Popestar EP as a bonus disc (CD or LP or digital).
