Scheduled for release on 27th March 2026 on Metropolis Records, it will be promoted with a month long European tour commencing in early April.<br><br>Bell and Skold had previously teamed up in 2024 to make the well received album \u2018Love Ghost X SKOLD\u2019, also issued via Metropolis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<div class=\"nv-iframe-embed\"><iframe title=\"Love Ghost - Vengeance (official music video)\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/cYk1YN1gLos?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Who is Love Ghost? It is not just an artist &#8211; it is a spectator. The embodiment of the tragic and the beautiful, a modern phantom moving between poetry and darkness. Love Ghost represents the misunderstood, those who carry both inner and outer scars, transforming that pain into something aesthetic, spiritual and magnetic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Love Ghost is a gothic-romantic universe where every song is a portal and every performance a ritual. There is no single identity: it is a spirit that inhabits different characters &#8211; fallen angels, cursed revolutionaries, corrupted prophets, ruined poets &#8211; to tell stories of isolation, transformation and impossible love.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Love Ghost aesthetic blends decay and elegance: broken halos, rustled roses, poetic blood, theatrical masks and ghostly cities. It\u2019s sound, influenced by Lil Peep, Deftones and Linkin Park, connects with those who belong in the dark and find in Love Ghost a mirror to their vulnerability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At its core, Love Ghost is an immersive experience, an aesthetic cult, a refuge for the broken, a phantom that turns tragedy into beauty.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"819\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/mkultramagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/LOVE-GHOST-TOUR-819x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-17852\" style=\"width:671px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mkultramagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/LOVE-GHOST-TOUR-819x1024.jpg 819w, https:\/\/mkultramagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/LOVE-GHOST-TOUR-240x300.jpg 240w, https:\/\/mkultramagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/LOVE-GHOST-TOUR-768x960.jpg 768w, https:\/\/mkultramagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/LOVE-GHOST-TOUR.jpg 1000w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 819px) 100vw, 819px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/dmanalytics2.com\/click?u=https%3A%2F%2Fffm.to%2Flgvengeance&amp;i=1&amp;d=_-PC4B2iQXe3vfkSqACWDg&amp;e=alex%40mkultramagazine.com&amp;a=ndDYQJ11TI6ZAymwJk-FeA&amp;s=tMDbhWlRbbM\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">stream<\/a>\u00a0 |\u00a0\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/dmanalytics2.com\/click?u=https%3A%2F%2Floveghost.bandcamp.com%2Falbum%2Fvengeance&amp;i=2&amp;d=_-PC4B2iQXe3vfkSqACWDg&amp;e=alex%40mkultramagazine.com&amp;a=ndDYQJ11TI6ZAymwJk-FeA&amp;s=PFmEXoAWpZk\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Bandcamp<\/a>\u00a0\u00a0| \u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/dmanalytics2.com\/click?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fwatch%3Fv%3DcYk1YN1gLos&amp;i=3&amp;d=_-PC4B2iQXe3vfkSqACWDg&amp;e=alex%40mkultramagazine.com&amp;a=ndDYQJ11TI6ZAymwJk-FeA&amp;s=2juGcKhszAk\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">video<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/dmanalytics2.com\/click?u=https%3A%2F%2Floveghost.com&amp;i=7&amp;d=_-PC4B2iQXe3vfkSqACWDg&amp;e=alex%40mkultramagazine.com&amp;a=ndDYQJ11TI6ZAymwJk-FeA&amp;s=uU_8jf14qn8\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Official Site<\/a>\u00a0\u00a0| \u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/dmanalytics2.com\/click?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.instagram.com%2Floveghost_official&amp;i=8&amp;d=_-PC4B2iQXe3vfkSqACWDg&amp;e=alex%40mkultramagazine.com&amp;a=ndDYQJ11TI6ZAymwJk-FeA&amp;s=fEOOVqk-A9I\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Instagram<\/a>\u00a0\u00a0| \u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/dmanalytics2.com\/click?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2Floveghost.official&amp;i=9&amp;d=_-PC4B2iQXe3vfkSqACWDg&amp;e=alex%40mkultramagazine.com&amp;a=ndDYQJ11TI6ZAymwJk-FeA&amp;s=ZzqIArHYPsE\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Facebook<\/a>\u00a0\u00a0| \u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/dmanalytics2.com\/click?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Floveghost&amp;i=10&amp;d=_-PC4B2iQXe3vfkSqACWDg&amp;e=alex%40mkultramagazine.com&amp;a=ndDYQJ11TI6ZAymwJk-FeA&amp;s=Ve_sMyOmcME\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">YouTube<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Founded by vocalist\/guitarist Finnegan Bell,&nbsp;Love Ghost&nbsp;is an enigmatic Los Angeles-based act known for its distinctive blend of grunge, indie\/alt-rock, emo, metal and trap rock coupled with mature, poetic lyrics.
