They won a Grammy for Cirice (and have been nominated for two more); they’ve been championed by everyone from James Hetfield to Phil Anselmo; their merch has become obscenely big business, t-shirts selling out in no time at gigs (including the show Hammer attends tonight) and the Ghost IP being plastered across everything from baubles to butt plugs to custom plague masks.
"Repugnant were popular, but nothing I had ever done had had such an immediate impact on people. It seems like nothing can throw Ghost off-course. This summer, Ghost will play in front of stadium crowds with Metallica once again – something Tobias calls a “PR exercise” – before more global dates and, eventually, a new album that’ll reveal the next chapter of his grand plan. BA1 1UA. And you can imagine that Tobias Forge is going to relish every second. Fuck. All rights reserved. Being a part of a successful band is one thing, but having that success rest almost entirely on your shoulders is something altogether different.“It’s very hard to do this without any casualties,” he muses. “The guys in In Solitude, the guys in Tribulation, the guys in Watain… they were the only people who knew about it! Forge begins the interview discussing his "very liberal" mother and how she fostered a sense of independence and open-mindedness in him as a boy. Soon after Papa I came the idea for the Nameless Ghouls – masked, anonymous backing musicians that’d add to the band’s hokey mystique. And the idea of the Devil and the idea of dark powers from beyond that continue in any way or form is a very interesting thought for a twelve-year-old who wants to lose his virginity, and who would like to defend himself against the bigger kids and who is also a big worshipper of rock music ... Everything sort of coincided. "I'm finding strains out there that I personally think are amazing"Graphic designer P.R. "As a young teen, Satan, and the idea of some sort of world that you could be in touch with that could empower you was very much the symbol for freedom," he tells the interviewer, continuing, "When adolescence was knocking, there are another set of emotions that come into play.
It all makes a two-hour set fly by in no time, guided masterfully by that aforementioned, ’tache-donning Daddy. Forge goes on to relay how he grew up in a very Christian area, so his experience with religion was not limited and he was exposed to movies and stories of Jesus at a young age. And yet, even at this stage, Tobias wasn’t totally certain just how far things would go.“Originally, I thought that Ghost was gonna become more like a theatre/installation sort of band, like Sunn O))),” he reveals. An album, Opus Eponymous, was recorded, and the metal underground waited with baited breath for its new favourite band to deliver on the hype. So I noticed there was a lot of ‘controversy’, a lot of mixed opinions.
I can control a lot, and I can influence a lot, but I can’t control it [all]. You will receive a verification email shortly.There was a problem. I think that is not very nice. The new actress was brought in so smoothly that many Ghost fans assumed it was the same person with a different haircut. Bath It should – it’s what rock’n’roll superstars have been doing for decades. Suddenly Ghost – with not so much as a gig to their name – were being asked to go on tours, play festivals and do interviews. But, you have to roll with the punch, you have to bite your finger, and come up with another plan… car accident. “But, once you’ve got that whole machine rolling, you don’t wanna stop,” Tobias adds. So I have nothing but great feelings for them.”He makes to leave before adding: “That’s how all these bands made their careers. “I noticed it in the beginning. Hammer is at hallmark gig venue Le Zenith in France’s capital city, witnessing Ghost deliver their latest sermon. He’s playing the game, and he’s winning. Images, stories from failed concept that led to intense 1994 performance clip"Trent was there the whole day for the 'Closer' cover shoot … he wanted to hang out with the bugs. For Tobias, there was a straight decision to be made: keep this project as a ‘cult attraction’, stay within the underground and become everyone’s favourite ‘Oh, you wouldn’t have heard of them’ reference point, or take a leap into the unknown and reach for greatness. Before 2010, it was with respected Swedish death metallers Repugnant that the Linköping native had had his most ‘success’, his love of rock’s theatrical side flirted with via a splash of corpsepaint and a drop of fake blood here and there. However, the real turning point in his turn to the dark path came after experiences with a strict Christian teacher and his stepmother.

More than we would have had had they not spoken!”Once again, it’s there: the unnerving feeling that Tobias is metal’s modern-day puppet master, pulling the strings above a performance that we all continue to play our parts in. If you wanna be comparative, look at all the big bands; even though they made it in a different time, statistically it takes five records, about 10 years, to go from nothing to something to something great.”And that, right there, sums up Tobias Forge. You think Lars would shy away every time people would talk shit about Metallica? He recently revealed that Cardinal Copia’s character could stick around for another five years and multiple albums – a first for Ghost, who have thus far changed up their protagonist for every record.“That’s just because of the potential of him being a ‘Pope’ or a Papa Emeritus IV,” he explains, before adding: “If he becomes a Papa Emeritus.”So there could be multiple endings planned for Cardi C?“Absolutely. For a man that had spent years keeping a lid on his grand ambitions, now was the time to sink or swim.
There are the disgruntled ex-bandmates who attempted to bring a lawsuit against Tobias in 2017 after claiming they were denied their rightful share of the Ghost pot. How Ghost's mastermind Tobias Forge took on the world… and wonParis, tell me… did that make your asses wobble?” It sure as hell isn’t “Scream for me, Hammersmith!” but somehow, inexplicably, this flirty, moustached, makeup-splattered dandy wiggling about in a tux and leather gloves has 9,000 people in the palm of his hand like he’s Bruce Dickinson in ’86. OK…”“Because we are ever-present, all the time.
