Ghost is most known for their occult/black-metal theatrics and their captivating stage performances - and before black-metal fans start preparing to burn my flat down: NO, Ghost doesn’t produce black metal music. Ghost is simply Tobias Forge, the frontman for all different eras of Ghost, and former “Mary Goore” of Swedish death metal band Repugnant (also former lead singer of Subvision and bassist of Magna Carta Cartel). Ghost is a one-piece act with hired musicians that are typically replaced faster than the frontman character (love you tobe). Contrary to popular belief, Ghost is not a “band”. Ghost is a occult-rock-act that formed 13-years-ago (2006) in the small town of Linköping, Sweden. Ps: I will break this up into sections by album and then wrap up with my thoughts at the end so it’s easy for anyone that’s just here to read about the albums and history of Ghost to find what they’re looking for without too many of my annoying personal comments, you’re welcome. Therefore, I have taken it upon myself to write an in-depth guide on the band. That was until I met the “band”, and had to regularly explain to people who the “Creepy man holding me” is, I realized that the general population has no understanding of what/who Ghost is, which I find to be problematic. However, since I am involved in majority of the Ghost forums online: tumblr, reddit, instagram, twitter, etc.I was living in this “Ghost bubble” that involved the belief that the entire world has a general understanding of things like “ Tobias and the Cardinal are one-in-the-same” “Ghost is a satirical band”, and so forth. I mean, at any given opportunity I will discuss the brilliance of the puppet master, Tobias Forge, then go on a long probably-manic-sounding rant about why he, Tobias, deserves all the recognition in the world. If you follow me on any form of social media, you’re probably well aware of how much I adore the band Ghost.
