The album was supposed to come out shortly after the U.S. presidential election in 2020, a reflection on Donald Trump’s contentious rule. But the pandemic-prompted delay makes Impera‘s release seem even more timely in the wake of Prequelle‘s foresight, the Russia-Ukraine crisis and other events of the past two years. It’s somewhat dark at heart, as was its predecessor, but Ghost coat it all in a signature glossy sheen that’s fist-raising and just a little silly in its over-the-top theatrics.
