The band won&#8217;t have to wait long to put that to the test; they&#8217;ll be touring the US in March then headlining Bloodstock in the UK in August.<\/p>\n<div class=\"youtube-video

It&#8217;s a well-worn tradition that the band release at least a single &#8211; if not full EP &#8211; after their new record, and considering that&#8217;s given us some of their biggest songs &#8211; <em>Square Hammer<\/em>, <em>Kiss The Go Goat, Mary On A Cross<\/em> &#8211; there&#8217;s plenty of excitement for what they&#8217;ll go with. This time, it seems to be a buried cover of Pet Shop Boys 80s pop classic <em>It&#8217;s A Sin, <\/em>which naturally Ghost take to with bombast and irrepresible enthusiasm. Is that all we&#8217;ll get in 2026?

former Delain singer finding ways to bridge her past to fascinating new musical directions. <em>After Us, The Flood <\/em>continues that trajectory &#8211; there&#8217;s something of modern-day Nightwish to its composition, playing with grandiose, whimsical and even proggy elements whilst keeping enough of her symphonic metal roots to craft something that feels properly epic.<\/p>\n<div

Phoenix<\/h2>\n<p id=\"a47f9e02-5649-49f0-a245-23aab5efc182\">The days of Gaerea existing in extreme metal&#8217;s underground feel firmly in the past. With <em>Phoenix<\/em>, the band are taking a big swing towards the mainstream. That doesn&#8217;t mean they&#8217;ve given up their extremity entirely, but rather that their earlier black metal coded work has now been supplanted by a melodeath style enormity that itches to be blasted to massive crowds. New album <em>Loss <\/em>is out March 20, and could well see them seriously blow up in 2026.<\/p>\n<div class=\"youtube-video youtube-facade\" data-nosnippet=\"\" id=\"LvkyAYIaLdQ\">\n<div
