Ghost are following up on last year’s extraordinary album IMPERA in the only way they know how. By taking on some rock and roll classics, a tradition that the band have stuck to for many years now. They have announced the details of PHANTOMIME, a new EP that comprises five cover versions of songs from the past.

And the tracklisting like this:
01. “See No Evil” (Television)
02. “Jesus He Knows Me” (Genesis)
03. “Hanging Around” (The Stranglers)
04. “Phantom of the Opera” (Iron Maiden)
05. “We Don’t Need Another Hero (Thunderdome)” (Tina Turner)
