Continuing on with the reveals from deep inside the Ghost inner sanctum…Sister Imperator is not pleased. Not. Pleased at all…watch.

PiercingMetal Thoughts: I don’t have much to add to this but wow she is intent in purpose for sure. I am curious about what is to come up next. Can Papa III’s tenure be coming to a close? One has to wonder because now that the album and an EP have come out it would make sense and follow their practice. Who knows, I just know that I like “Meliora” and PIII so I remain hopeful. What do you people think? Chime in down below since its always nice to hear from you.

Thanks to agents lurking in the shadows with wireless signals deep below in the cavernous hidden HQ where the band Ghost plots their conquering, I share with you the latest transmission in “The Summoning”. If you’ve missed any of their earlier 411, just click HERE first. Be warned though, possession of this intel comes at a grave cost.

PiercingMetal Thoughts: I don’t have much to add here my fiends, but I guess that its safe to assume that we should all start listening to Sister Imperator lest we get a crack on the knuckles with her yardstick. That was a popular means of getting you into accord by the nuns at the Catholic schools way back in the day and I’m pretty sure that Imperator has a spike on the end of hers for proper accommodation. See you next time when any briefing comes across my media desk from our people hidden deep within the Ghost sect of acolytes. They’re risking their safety and that of their loved ones to keep you informed.
