Ghost released a clip from the band's feature film called Rite Here Rite Now , which will be shown in select theaters worldwide – now with extra dates – on June 20, 21, 22 and 23. Check the schedule in Brazil here.
The video is 80 seconds long and shows live footage of the band playing the song “Kaissarion” from the album IMPERA (2022) during two shows at the Kia Forum in Los Angeles in 2023.
The band hasn't released much information about the plot yet, but in this video we see Papa Emeritus IV running backstage to look at himself in front of a giant mirror. Sister Imperator appears, sending Papa back to the stage to sing the rest of the song.
Rite Here Rite Now is described as a pseudo-narrative-concert film that “fully immerses viewers in the colorful melodrama of the much-vaunted live ritual” that is Ghost. The work was directed by Alex Ross Perry and Tobias Forge . Additionally, an original 18-track soundtrack will be available in various formats (digital, CD, and vinyl) on July 26th and is available for pre-order.
Director Alex Ross Perry said in a press statement: “Collaborating with Tobias to expand the Ghost saga into a feature film was a delight. This film allowed us to be inspired by everything from horror to Ralph Bakshi ’s The Great Rock N’ Roll Swindle to Kiss ’s Alive II .”
"The influences were many, but above all, the ultimate goal was to create a unique feast not only for Ghost fans, but for all lovers of the cinematic alchemy between rock spectacles and spooky delights."
