Ghost to enter studio in January, new album due late 2021

Ghost mastermind Tobia Forge is currently in a Swedish studio doing pre-production for the band's next album and full-length follow-up to 2018's Prequelle. Speaking with Sweden Rock Magazine, Forge revealed plans to begin tracking in January and release the outing next fall or winter (translation via Chrome):

"The plan now is that I will be here and write for another two months, until Christmas. The idea is that the album will then be recorded in January. It takes about six weeks to record and then it is two to three weeks of mixing and mastering. So sometime in March, the record should be ready, but it won't come out until after the summer. As it looks now, we will then go on tour after that. "We will not release an album until we know we are going on tour. It will coincide with a tour start. Then it may happen that we announce the record at a date and if for some reason it is not possible to tour, then it's a different story. But we would not plan it today in any other way than that the tour and record are connected."
