Ghost, founded by Tobias Forge, has become known for their enigmatic and theatrical performances, with Forge portraying the character of “Papa Emeritus.” The band’s early success with albums like ‘Opus Eponymous’ and ‘Infestissumam’ showcased a unique blend of dark lyrical themes and melodic rock music, drawing inspiration from classic heavy metal bands like Black Sabbath and Blue Öyster Cult. With their innovative sound and captivating stage presence, Ghost has solidified their place as one of the most influential and iconic rock bands of the modern era.
