Ghost<\/a> launched the U.S. leg of the Skeletour in support of their latest album\u00a0Skelet\u00e1<\/em><\/em>, which earned the band their first No. 1 on the Billboard<\/em> 200<\/a> earlier this year.<\/p>\n

The first show of the tour took place at the CFG Bank Arena Arena in Baltimore, Maryland where Ghost performed a 22 song set that included a three-song encore. Among the selections, “Per Aspera Ad Inferi” was played for the first time since 2019 and “Satan Prayer,” which hadn’t been performed since 2020, returned as well.<\/p>\n

As for the newest cuts from\u00a0Skelet\u00e1<\/em>, a total of four songs were played \u2014 “Lachryma,” “Peacefield,” “Satanized” and “Umbra.” For most in attendance, this was their first chance to hear these new songs live now that Ghost are stateside.<\/p>\n

Of course, Ghost brought their brilliant, theatrical production that continues to mesmerize with its ornate, overstated presentation. All befitting of a band still firmly on the rise.<\/p>\n

The kickoff comes just a few days removed from frontman Papa V Perpetua’s July 5 performance with one of the two all-star bands at the Back to the Beginning concert<\/a>. The historic tribute to Ozzy Osbourne<\/a> and Black Sabbath<\/a> found Papa belting out the Ozzy classic “Bark at the Moon” to a stadium of headbangers in metal’s birthplace of Birmingham, England.<\/p>\n
