Ghost have shared a video for ‘Umbra’, one of the highlights of their latest album ‘Skeletá’, and it is a hot watch.

The track itself embodies everything sensational about the band. Emotional synths, throwback riffs, love-laced lyrics and plenty of cowbell for good measure, it is camp, crazy and catchy as sin. A worthy song to add to their video repertoire.

And the video is as dark and seductive as such a song deserves. Two lovers making their way through a gallery, and eventually into the darkness. Always finding each other, always connected, always dancing. It’s intense, beautiful, and compelling. There’s a sexual energy permeating through it, the sort that has found its way into so much of GHOST’s music over the years, but it has never overflowed in visual form quite like this before.

The clip follows on from the surprise release of the band’s 2018 cover of Pet Shop Boys’ ‘It’s a Sin’, shared as a special little treat last month. Here it is for you to indulge in.

GHOST were winners of the 2025 Rock Sound Visionary Artist Award.

With ‘Skeletá’, Tobias Forge allowed more of his true self to poke through the shiny exterior than ever before, lifting the mask and creating some of his most deeply personal work to date. Combined with a visual aesthetic that was as cinematic and striking as ever, this latest iteration of the Papa cemented their legacy as one of the most interesting and carefully crafted performance artists of our time. Tobias takes us inside their sixth album and the challenges and crucial realisations that came with the making of it.
