Fredrik Åkesson has found himself in an unusual position – we know him as the longest-serving member of Opeth outside of Mikael Åkerfeldt and bassist Martin Mendez but he's got this whole other low-key claim to fame now in a commercially bigger band; he plays guitar for Ghost.
He's no Nameless Ghoul but it seems Fredrik has been Ghost mastermind / eternal Papa Tobias Forge's go-to studio virtuoso lately and plays the guitars (including rhythms) on Ghost's barnstorming and chart-bothering 2022 album Impera and the 2023 covers EP Phantomime.
