Ghost B.C. Announces New Album for 2015 in Year Already Primed for Metalheads

Metal fans have another album to look forward to during 2015. Along with much anticipated released from Lamb of God and Tool (both theoretically coming out during the next 12 months), the band Ghost B.C. (simply known as "Ghost" when lawyers for bands of other groups with a similar title aren't looking) have announced on Facebook that a new album will drop during 2015, according to Loudwire.

"Children of the World!" reads a post on the band's Facebook page. "We hope that you are enjoying the end...of the year. We would just like to tell you all that we are currently crafting a new album to be released next year and we can't wait to shed some light on the details about it. Until then though - Happy Holidays! /A Nameless Ghoul."

For those of you unfamiliar with the way Ghost operates yet still managed to stumble upon this article: "A Nameless Ghoul" applies to every member of the band outside of its frontman/demon Papa Emeritus, all of whom haven't allowed for their actual identities to become known outside of the group, especially impressive considering the way information leaks onto the internet these days.

Either way, that air of mystery has led to a cult appreciation for the band, not only among metal publications but also more high-minded critics for its debut release Opus Eponymous. The band's second album Infestissumam, which was released during 2013, went to no. 1 in the band's homeland of Sweden and attained gold status there.

Can the band keep up the schtick going into the yet-untitled album? Admittedly, some critics already began to get tired of the charade during the band's second release. How long Ghost B.C. will be able to keep up its anonymous act might swing on how well the third album comes across.
