Ghost is a rock and metal band conceived by Tobias Forge, who leads the project through a series of theatrical characters, among them the Papa Emeritus figures, Cardinal Copia and Papa Nihil. The act blends heavy rock and metal with melodic pop sensibilities, wrapped in an elaborate stage identity and an ongoing body of lore that sets it apart from most hard rock acts. The project began in Sweden in the early part of this century, and its music and imagery have since reached an international audience. It is listed here as a United States act, reflecting where its online presence is based. Live shows are treated as ritual-like gatherings, and a devoted community of fans follows the band from city to city. Online, the band shares music and videos, announcements about new releases, and material tied to its characters and visual world.
