In a twist that no one saw coming—but somehow feels perfectly in line with his enigmatic persona—Zak Bagans, the legendary host of Ghost Adventures and master of the macabre, has announced that he’s stepping into a new dimension… of sound.
That’s right. In 2025, Zak Bagans isn’t just chasing spirits anymore—he’s channeling them through music. With the surprise announcement of his debut album, “Spirit Frequency,” and an accompanying world tour titled “Beyond the Veil,” Bagans is once again proving that the unknown isn’t just something he investigates—it’s something he becomes.
And this time, the ghosts will be grooving.
A Paranormal Pivot Into Music
Zak Bagans has never been one to shy away from pushing boundaries. From his fearless investigations in some of the world’s most haunted locations to his immersive Haunted Museum in Las Vegas, he’s built a career out of exploring fear, mystery, and what lies beyond.
But few knew that behind the black sunglasses and gritty voice was a passion for music that had been simmering beneath the surface for years.
“This isn’t a gimmick,” Zak said in an exclusive interview with Rolling Stone. “Music has always been a part of me. I used to write lyrics during investigations—songs inspired by what we saw, what we felt. The fear, the energy, the things we couldn’t explain… I needed a new way to express that.”
And express it he has.
Spirit Frequency is described as a “sonic séance,” blending industrial rock, darkwave, and ambient electronic with spoken-word poetry. Think Nine Inch Nails meets Tool—then throw in EVP recordings, haunted sound samples, and lyrics that sound like they were whispered from another world.
“I didn’t want to make another ghost show,” Zak explained. “I wanted to create a haunted experience you could feel in your chest, through headphones. Music lets me do that.”
Inside “Spirit Frequency”
Produced in collaboration with Trent Reznor’s former sound engineer and featuring guest appearances from artists like Chelsea Wolfe, Poppy, and even a rumored vocal cameo by Ville Valo of HIM, Spirit Frequency is anything but conventional.
Tracks include:
- “Echoes in the Walls” – A moody opening track layered with real EVP recordings.
- “Room 11” – Inspired by Zak’s chilling overnight at Nevada’s Goldfield Hotel.
- “Static Séance” – A dark synth anthem with pulsating basslines and distorted screams.
- “The Demon Said Dance” – A twisted club banger rumored to be inspired by his infamous exorcism investigation.
- “Ashes of the Possessed” – A minimalist piano track paired with Bagans’ haunting spoken word.
The album concludes with “Unfinished Portal,” a seven-minute instrumental meant to simulate a descent into a haunted realm—designed to be experienced in complete darkness with noise-cancelling headphones.
“This isn’t just music,” Zak insists. “It’s a ritual.”
Beyond the Veil: The Tour That’s Anything But Ordinary
The Beyond the Veil tour is set to kick off in October 2025—appropriately beginning in New Orleans, one of the most paranormally active cities in the world. From there, the tour will hit over 30 cities in North America before heading to Europe and Asia.
But don’t expect a traditional concert. Zak has something far more immersive in mind.
According to sources close to the production, each show will be staged like a live haunting, combining music with performance art, holographic visuals, and real-time paranormal elements. Every venue will be outfitted with EMF detectors, IR lighting, and audience participation in “ritualistic” sound experiments.
“We’re bringing the spirit world to the stage,” Zak said. “Some people go to concerts to dance. Others will come to mine to connect—with whatever’s listening.”
And yes, you will be asked to sign a waiver at the door.
Fan Reactions: From Curious to Obsessed
At first, the internet wasn’t sure whether to take the news seriously. Zak Bagans? The ghost guy? Making music?
But then he dropped the teaser trailer: a 90-second black-and-white clip showing Zak alone in an abandoned cathedral, chanting lyrics over a distorted beat as ghostly figures flickered in and out of view.
It ended with the phrase:
“You’ve heard their voices. Now hear mine.”
Within 24 hours, #ZakBagansAlbum trended globally. Paranormal fans, goth music lovers, and curious newcomers all began dissecting the clips, speculating about hidden messages, haunted frequencies, and even subliminal ghost summoning embedded in the songs.
“I didn’t expect this… but I’m kind of obsessed,” one fan tweeted. “It’s like horror, music, and a séance had a love child.”
The Meaning Behind the Madness
Zak is clear that this album isn’t a departure from his paranormal work—it’s an extension of it.
“I’m not leaving Ghost Adventures,” he confirmed. “This is me giving voice to the things I’ve witnessed, the energy I’ve felt. You can only scream into the darkness for so long before you need to sing.”
He hopes the album will do more than entertain—it might actually help listeners reconnect with lost loved ones, face buried traumas, or awaken spiritual awareness.
“Music is vibration. And all spirits are energy. What if music is the bridge?” Zak asked.
It’s a question many are now eager to explore.
The Legacy of the Unexpected
In 2025, Zak Bagans isn’t just a ghost hunter, a museum curator, or a TV personality. He’s a sonic alchemist, blending fear with frequency, music with mysticism.
Spirit Frequency drops on Friday the 13th of September, and if the buzz is any indicator, it may be the most haunting album of the year—not just because of the themes, but because of the man behind the music.
For years, Zak has taken us into haunted houses, crumbling asylums, and abandoned prisons. But now, he’s opening a door that’s far more personal: the haunted corridors of the soul.
And maybe, just maybe, if you listen close enough, you’ll hear more than beats and bass. You’ll hear the spirits dancing.
The wait is over. Zak Bagans has arrived—again. But this time, with a mic. And the other side is listening.
