Swedish occult-rock juggernaut Ghost have a long history of provocative visuals, from their elaborate album art to their epic stage production to their strange and cinematic videos. The latest entry in Tobias Forge’s visual catalog is the disturbing lyric video for Prequelle standout “Faith.” As well as displaying the words to the song, the clip showcases a menacing golden mallet and spike before revealing that the pair are surgical tools. The video goes on to show in graphic detail what appears to be a real brain surgery. As you might imagine, it’s not for the faint of heart or stomach.
Ghost, who have been spending much of their summer opening for Metallica, have a busy rest of the year ahead of them. The band recently announced the latest legs of their “Ultimate Tour Named Death” run, including a slew of new North American, U.K. and European dates. See those below.
