Ghost – Future Is A Foreign Land

More about Ghost

Formed in Linköping, Sweden, in 2006, Ghost (also known as Ghost B.C. in the United States) stands as a unique force in the heavy metal genre, blending elements of doom metal, hard rock, pop, and psychedelia. The band is renowned for its theatrical stage presence and the anonymity of its members, who are led by a series of frontmen known as 'Papa Emeritus' or 'Cardinal Copia,' each portrayed by Tobias Forge. Ghost's members, referred to as 'Nameless Ghouls,' perform masked, adding to the band's mystique. Their lyrical themes often explore Satanism and anti-Catholic sentiment, presented with a satirical twist. Ghost's debut album, 'Opus Eponymous' (2010), was a critical success, setting the stage for their rise to fame. Subsequent albums like 'Infestissumam' (2013), 'Meliora' (2015), and 'Prequelle' (2018) have further solidified their reputation, earning them Grammy nominations and a win for Best Metal Performance in 2016. Ghost's ability to craft catchy melodies, epic anthems, and a visually captivating live show has garnered them a diverse fanbase, bridging the gap between hard rock and metal audiences worldwide.
