Ceremony and Devotion
Ceremony and Devotion is Ghost's first official live album, recorded primarily at The Warfield in San Francisco, California, on July 2, 2017, during the Popestar Tour with Papa Emeritus III. The album was mixed at Psalms Studios in Bath, UK, by producer Tom Dalgety —who also produced Prequelle— and released digitally on December 8, 2017. With 17 songs spanning their entire discography up to that point, from Opus Eponymous through Popestar, the album documents a band at the peak of their performing faculties: perfect songs executed with unparalleled theatricality. It is the definitive testament of the Papa Emeritus III era.
