NEWS: WHOYOUARE REVEALS ITS LATEST COLLABORATION... PAPA EMERITUS III OF GHOST
"It's a massive honor to have been summoned by the great Papa Emeritus III to adorn this collaboration," said B. Åkerlund. "Ghost are dark, controversial and sweet, all at once. Just like me ... They exemplify performance art and subversion, and it was thrilling to enhance their relentless creative vision and add my fashion sense, source amazing talent from my WHOYOUARE fashion community, and find the designers I found worked best. Designer Michele Berandi was a natural choice-coming from a dark rock'n roll background-and Majesty Black made iconic gloves to complete the look to rebirth Papa for Ghost's new album."
Meliora will be released on August 21st on Loma Vista Recordings.

ABOUT GHOST: Ghost will release their third sacred psalm, Meliora, on August 21st on Loma Vista Recordings. The body of work is available for pre-order HERE. Meliora follows the band's much-heralded second album INFESTISSUMAM, which was released in April of 2013. The 10-song offering was produced by Grammy® Award winning producer Nick Raskulinecz (Foo Fighters, Queens of the Stone Age, Alice in Chains) and debuted at #1 on the iTunes Rock Album Chart. SPIN called the album, "one of the most anticipated heavy metal albums of 2013" and Pitchfork praised its "addictive as sin" hooks. Rolling Stone described their sound as "somewhere between Mastodon and Metallica, with a heavy dose of Swedish synth mixed in." In November of 2013, the band released If You Have Ghost, a five track covers EP recorded and produced by Dave Grohl. Ghost have toured the world extensively and will kick off their U.S. headlining "Black To The Future" tour in September.
