Album Description
Available in:
Infestissumam (Latin for hostile) is the second full-length album by Swedish heavy metal band Ghost. It was released on April 10, 2013, produced by Nick Raskulinecz and recorded in Nashville, Tennessee. Loma Vista Recordings released it in North America on April 16 in partnership with Republic Records, a division of Universal Music Group, marking the band's major label debut.In an interview in early 2012, a Nameless Ghoul announced that the band was done writing their second album.In March, a cover of ABBA's song "I'm a Marionette" was stated to be included on the new album.On December 14, 2012, the website SecularHaze.com was created by Ghost and promoted on their official Facebook page. The website contained a sound clip of a new Ghost song, only without vocals. On the page was also a clock ticking backwards and five candles, each playing one element of the new song when the user would hover over it with their mouse, be it drums, two guitars, bass, vocals, and keyboards.The next day, the band uploaded a new song to their official YouTube channel, also called "Secular Haze". Later that day, the band performed a special concert in their hometown of Linköping, Sweden, performing the entire Opus Eponymous record along with "Secular Haze" and their cover of "I'm a Marionette". Before "Secular Haze" was performed, Papa Emeritus, the band's vocalist, disappeared into the black of the stage to be replaced by Papa Emeritus II. After this concert, SecularHaze.com was updated to include a sixth candle containing the vocal track of the song "Secular Haze". Four days later, the band announced the title of their second album, Infestissumam, along with creating the webpage Infestissumam.com which showed the album's track list.Commenting on the theme of the new album, a Nameless Ghoul told Decibel that while the first record ended with "Genesis", the birth of the Antichrist, Infestissumam continues from the Antichrist's birth onwards."Secular Haze" was the album's first single, given as a free digital download if one signs up to the band's Emailing list starting on December 15.A limited pressing of 10" vinyl records of the single was later released. Its B-side was the cover of "I'm a Marionette", which features Dave Grohl of Nirvana and Foo Fighters on drums as well as production.The band recorded their first music video for "Secular Haze" in Linköping, with director Amir Chamdin.The song was named one of the Best Metal Songs of 2013 by Loudwire.On March 12, 2013, Ghost began providing fans with a free streaming of "Year Zero" if they promoted the band on Facebook, by endorsing its frontman to be elected the next Pope of the Catholic Church.The vinyl version of the single includes the B-side "Orez Raey". A music video for the song, once again directed by Amir Chamdin, was unveiled on March 25.Infestissumam was originally scheduled to be released on April 9, however the band could not find a manufacturer for the CD in the United States and it was delayed until April 16.According to a Nameless Ghoul, the band was turned down by four US CD manufacturers because of artwork on the CD of the deluxe edition of the album, "which is basically a 16th century illustration of an orgy". Rather than delay the album longer, the band decided to use the CD artwork from the regular edition for the US pressings of the deluxe edition CD.

The European copies and US vinyl versions will include the artwork as "Vinyl manufacturers don't have a problem with the artwork. Neither does Europe."

The song "Monstrance Clock" was offered for free streaming on April 8.
The following day, the entire Infestissumam album was uploaded for streaming.
