Ghost Album

Alert the presses! We have concrete proof that ghosts exist – and we’ve caught them all on tape! *checks notes* okay, we made a slight mistake. We have proof that Ghost exists, and we have all of their tapes…

Ah yes. Ghost. Not the weepy movie starring Patrick Swayze and Demi Moore. Our favourite Ghost are the Swedish metal band. We say favourite, but what do we really know about them? Are they Nameless Ghouls? Who is the real Papa Emeritus? Will we ever find out?

Probably not. Ghost are perfect enigmas. That’s been part of their charm for nearly two decades. So while we might not know everything about them, we at least know we’ve got the best of their albums.

In our EMP store, we have a great collection of Ghost albums, from the early works to their ever-expanding and always-eclectic later offerings. From their debut album, Opus Eponymous to exclusively packaged singles, there’s no better way to relive, relearn and re-experience the Ghost sound.

In the Ghost albums from our EMP store, including Infentissumam, expect to hear the best of some of the elusive Ghost frontmen. Ghost has so far appointed four frontmen. First was Papa Emeritus, who took on vocal duties for their debut album, Opus Eponymous, and its consequent tour. He was replaced in 2012 by Papa Emeritus II, for the Infestissumam cycle; in 2015, his younger brother, Papa Emeritus III, took over for the Meliora run. In September 2017, Papa Emeritus III was publicly ousted while performing in Gothenburg, Sweden, to be replaced by the significantly older Papa Emeritus 0 – later named Papa Nihil, an ancestor to all other Papas. However, Ghost’s new leader was named, in April 2018, as Cardinal Copia, an apprentice priest yet to earn his full Ghost regalia… only, it’s all actually the same person.

The frontman has always thought to have been Ghost mastermind Tobias Forge. Forge was forced to give up his identity in 2017 when former bandmates sued him over royalties.

Whether you’re a lifelong fan looking for souvenirs and keepsakes – like a limited edition Hunter’s Moon single! – or you’re a metal head looking to explore a new band, get the best of Ghost albums right from EMP today.
