Ghost say they’re not aiming to shock fans when experimenting with the sound of their next album.

And a Nameless Ghoul from the theatrical rock outfit says the band wouldn’t rule out making something similar to their latest record, Meliora.

He tells Metal Wani: “The goal is never to shock everyone. The goal is to keep it interesting for us to still make music. We listen to a lot of different stuff and get inspiration from different corners.

“Sometimes we have an idea for a song before the song itself exists. We’ll say, ‘Let’s have a song that feels and talks to you like this’ and we try and write it. It’s not just five riffs we put together.

“The idea is to make music we want to listen to. As we already heard the last album, why don’t we make a copy of it?”

The band won Best Metal Performance Award at the Grammys for their track Cirice earlier this month ahead of Slipknot, Lamb Of God, Sevendust and August Burns Red. And last night (February 24) the band also scooped a Swedish Grammy in the Best Hard Rock/Metal category.

Ghost launch their Black To The Future US tour in April.
