Ghost frontman Tobias Forge is one of the breakout metal stars of the last 15 years. But before he dragged the masked Swedish sensations out of the underground and onto arena stages around the world, he was a dyed-in-the-wool extreme metal fan.
As a kid growing up in the 80s, he was introduced to bands such as Kiss and Mötley Crüe by his older brother, Sebastian, but he soon discovered darker and heavier music, ranging from Misfits and Metallica to Venom and Bathory.
