Tobias Forge claims that, despite appearances, a lot of Ghost’s music isn’t actually about the Devil.
Since debuting with 2010’s Opus Eponymous, the Swedish hard rock/heavy metal outfit have presented themselves as a subversive church with a skeletal “pope” singer, portrayed by Forge, and an ensemble of druid-like backing musicians called “nameless ghouls”. Their back-catalogue also includes such songs as Devil Church, Depth Of Satan’s Eyes and the new single Satanized.
