Set for release in 2025 . HISTORY Ghost was formed in 2006 when the future

Band Leader Tobias Forge wrote the song ” Stand By Me ” he said ” I said that

this is probably the most Heavy Metal Riff that has ever existed ” . When the

chords came to me , it haunted my dreams . Every time I picked up the Guitar,

I ended up playing that progression & when I fit the words in , it seemed to cry

out for a satanically – oriented lyric . Forge then contracted his former” “Repugnant”

Bandmate Gustaf Lindstrom to record the Song . In early 2008 the two entered

the Studio to Record Three Songs ” Stand By Him ” , ” Prime Mover ” & ” Death

Knell ” . Afterwoods Forge remarked to Lindstrom ” This definitely does not sound

like two dudes that look like you & I . Thus Forge decided that they should be an

anonymous Theatre Band ” . & use there Love of Horror Films & the traditions of

Scandinavian Metal in the Bands Imagery. While other members of the Band

would wear Black Hooded Robes & be called ” Nameless Ghouls ” . Forge would

go by Papa Emeritus dressed in Papal Regalia & his Face Painted to resemble

a Skull . Forge then chose the name Ghost for the Group . Origin Linkoping
