Ghost has advanced the continuing story about the multi-platinum occult metal band and its clergy, with a new frontman in the guise of Papa V Perpetua. On April 1, the long-running epic that elaborates on the group’s history went live online with Chapter 20. It discloses what happened to Cardinal Copia/Papa Emeritus IV, Papa V Perpetua’s predecessor, and his new role as Frater Imperator. As is customary, the band frequently switches over their frontman for every album cycle, with some of their previous personalities suffering tragic ends. Even if Cardinal Copia seems to be in over his head with some skullduggery going on, it would appear that he got off lightly given that precedent.
