“Pure musical perfection”: Fans react to Ghost’s new single ‘Lachryma’

Ghost’s new single, “Lachryma,” has stirred major excitement among both fans and critics. Dropping just ahead of their much-anticipated album Skeletá, which is set for release on April 25, 2025, the song exemplifies the band’s distinctive mix of theatrical flair and musical skill.

Exploring deeper and darker lyrical territory, “Lachryma” evokes gothic and vampiric imagery, wrapped in a mood of nightmarish mystery. The title, derived from the Latin word for “tear,” adds emotional weight to the track. Sonically, the song blends heavy, doom-influenced guitar riffs with uplifting melodic layers, creating an atmosphere that’s as eerie as it is mesmerizing.

Listeners have flooded social media with praise, with one fan calling it “pure musical perfection.” Others have applauded the song for its dramatic, haunting tone and cinematic energy. The visually rich music video adds another layer of depth, reinforcing the themes with compelling imagery.

With the release of Skeletá on the horizon, “Lachryma” cements Ghost’s reputation for constantly pushing creative boundaries and keeping audiences spellbound with every new release.
