"He said there were two things I needed to be aware of: first of all, it would be a lot of touring. The other thing was, 'You’re not going to have many guitar solos!'" A former Nameless Ghoul reveals what it's like to play with Ghost

A Nameless Ghoul on stage.

The identity of Ghost's Nameless Ghouls has been as much a part of their endearing mystique as the ever-evolving journey of their fictional frontmen. Masked and only going by pseudonyms (or, often, cute nicknames provided by Ghost's ever-dedicated fanbase), the Ghouls and Ghoullettes have been the subject of intense speculation since Tobias Forge first brought his spooktacular vision to the world in 2010, though have rarely broken ranks to give interviews about their experiences, even after exiting the band.

Now, one former Ghoul, Chris Catalyst, who has also played with the likes of goth icons Sisters Of Mercy and 90s alt rock mainstays Ugly Kid Joe, has lifted the lid on his experiences touring with Ghost, having joined them for their recent tours in support of latest studio album, Impera.
