Following Ghost’s successful showing at Maryland Deathfest and the ritual at The Studio @ Webster Hall, Ghost was announced on a tour with Enslaved and Alcest.[1]
However strong the power of that old horned codger might be, it was no match for the US Immigration system and Ghost had to pull out of the tour on September 9th with this statement on their webpage:
A message from A Nameless Ghoul:
Everybody,
Due to some last minute complications with our visas, we have been forced to cancel our North American tour.
We are sorry towards the other bands on the tour, Enslaved and Alcest, and we wish them a very joyful tour without us.
And we are most of all tremendously sorry towards all of our fans.
This is truly beyond our control and we are making everything within our (His) powers to be able to come back to the US as soon as possible and perform for all of you.
Thank you all for your support!
Our most malicious of wishes
/A Nameless Ghoul
on behalf of GHOST[2]
The news hit the newly converted faithful hard.

Ghost would be replaced on the bill by the band Junius on the tour.[3]
