Ghost Meliora vinyl reissue is officially on the way, marking the 10th anniversary of the Swedish band’s breakthrough 2015 album.

The double-LP edition of Meliora will be released on October 17 and is available for preorder now.

Released initially as Ghost’s third studio album, Meliora propelled the band to international recognition. Led by the single “Cirice,” which became their first track to chart on the Billboard Mainstream Rock Airplay ranking, the record also delivered fan favorites like “From the Pinnacle to the Pit.” Upon its debut, the album entered the Billboard 200 at #8, then a career high.

At that time, frontman Tobias Forge continued to perform anonymously as one of his Papa Emeritus characters. His identity would only be revealed two years later, in 2017.

Ghost has continued to evolve since Meliora. Their most recent studio release, Skeletá, arrived in April and debuted at #1 on the Billboard 200, cementing their status as one of rock’s most successful modern acts.
