Ghost have released an unexpected cover of Jesus He Knows Me by Genesis. The first song to be released from the freshly announced five-track covers EP Phantomime, Jesus He Knows Me is accompanied by an Alex Ross Perry-directed video that makes the case that one person’s beauty is another’s blasphemy. Culminating in a climactic ritual that must be seen to be believed, Ghost's visual interpretation of Jesus He Knows Me rises to the occasion in unholy fashion — and then some. Watch it for yourself below, but beware, viewer discretion is advised.
A diverse and spellbinding sampling of the GRAMMY Award-winning band’s musical DNA, Phantomime is comprised of covers of classics and deep cuts by Television, Genesis, The Stranglers, Iron Maiden and Tina Turner. Phantomime pays tribute in equal measure to every one of these unlikely bedfellows influence, while stamping them all with Ghost’s undeniable sonic signature.
Compare Ghost's take on Jesus He Knows Me to the 1991 Genesis original below.
Back in January, Ghost joined forces with Joe Elliott of Def Leppard to release an alternate version of Spillways from their 2022 record Impera.
