1) Ghost, also formerly known as Ghost B.C. in the United States, is a Swedish hard rock band that was formed in Linköping in 2006. In 2010, they released a three-track demo followed by a 7-inch vinyl titled "Elizabeth", and later their debut full-length album Opus Eponymous. The song "Ritual" was chosen by Kerrang! as one of "The 50 Most Evil Songs Ever." The Grammis-nominated album was widely praised and significantly increased their popularity. Their second album and major label debut, Infestissumam, was released in 2013, debuted at number one in Sweden, and won the Grammis Award for Best Hard Rock/Metal Album. The band released their third studio album, Meliora, in 2015 to much critical acclaim and high record sales, reaching number one in their home country of Sweden, and number eight in the United States. Its lead single, "Cirice", earned them the 2016 Grammy Award for Best Metal Performance. The band released their fourth studio album, Prequelle, in 2018. The band released their fifth studio album, Impera, in 2022.
Ghost is easily recognizable owing greatly to its eccentric on-stage presence. Seven of the group's eight members, its 'Nameless Ghouls', wear virtually identical, face-concealing costumes. Prior to a 2017 lawsuit filed by former members of the band, lead singer Tobias Forge obscured his identity behind the character "Papa Emeritus". The character, which consists of Forge in a prosthetic mask and makeup, can be best described as a 'demonic anti-pope'. The Papa Emeritus Character has gone through five incarnations - I, II, III, Nihil, and IV. From the release of the 2018 album Prequelle and subsequent world tour, Forge portrayed a character known as "Cardinal Copia", who is described as being unrelated to any of the Papa Emeritus characters and whose costume consists of either Cardinal vestments or a black or white tuxedo alongside a prosthetic mask with black eye makeup and the multi-colored eyes which had been present in each Papa character. In March 2020, at the final show of A Pale Tour Named Death, Forge once again assumed the mantle of Papa Emeritus.
Ghost's music has been categorized in many genres, critics have classified them as hard rock, heavy metal, doom metal, pop rock, progressive rock, psychedelic rock, occult rock, and arena rock. Adrien Begrand of PopMatters stated that Ghost recalls "the early sounds of Black Sabbath, Pentagram, and Judas Priest, as well as the progressive and psychedelic rock of the late '60s." Speaking to Noisey.com, a Nameless Ghoul described Ghost as a black metal band in the traditional sense, but said that they probably do not fit into the norms of the current black metal scene. This Nameless Ghoul described Ghost's music as a mix between pop music and death metal.
In an interview, a Nameless Ghoul said they are influenced by "everything ranging from classic rock to the extreme underground metal bands of the '80s to film scores to the grandeur of emotional harmonic music." A member of the band said the Swedish and Scandinavian black metal movement of the early '90s plays a major role in their act, and said that each member has come from a metal background. However, the band has stated several times that they do not aim to be a metal band. For their second album, Ghost chose a more diverse songwriting style; a member said, "we tried to deliberately have every song have its own signature."
Only a few members actually write songs. The writers compose an acoustic outline of songs before other instrumentation is added so it sounds like a group, rather than being dominated by guitar. In 2017, Forge claimed that he was the main author of every song except "Year Zero" and "Zenith", which were Persner's ideas. Asked how he keeps Ghost's sound intact despite large lineup changes, Forge said he has to teach them to play like he does; explaining that while he is a good guitar player, he is only an "okay" drummer, bassist and keyboardist. So it is a matter of getting them to "underperform [laughs] together."
2) Ghost is an experimental rock group formed in Tokyo, Japan, in 1984.
Core-member Masaki Batoh grew up in Kyoto, Japan where he attended a private school. During this time, he became interested in American and British rock music ranging from Bob Dylan and Pink Floyd to the Velvet Underground and Japanese rock bands such as the Taj Mahal Travellers and the Flower Travellin' Band.
Later, Batoh formed Ghost with a large and often varying lineup. According to reports posted on Allmusic, the group lived a nomadic existence, drifting from ruins of ancient temples to disused subway stations around the Tokyo area.
The band began releasing their work with the albums Ghost and Second Time Around, which were released, respectively, in 1991 and 1992. The American independent label Drag City licensed each of the albums for distribution, and the Los Angeles The Now Sound label picked up two of Batoh's solo albums, released together as well under the title Collected Works. Two albums, Tune In, Turn On, Free Tibet and Snuffbox Immanence, were released simultaneously in 1999.
As well as their own work, Ghost have recorded and performed with the ex-Galaxie 500 duo Damon and Naomi. Five years after releasing both Snuffbox Immanence and Tune In, Turn On, Free Tibet, Ghost returned with Hypnotic Underworld, and there were some changes in the band. Cellist Hiromichi Sakamoto and percussionist Setsuko Furuya left and were replaced by a rhythm section of Takuyuki Moriya (electric bass guitar, double bass, and cello) and Junzo Tateiwa (drums, tabla, and percussion). In January 2007, Ghost released its latest studio album titled In Stormy Nights.
3) A British hip hop/trip hop/electronic producer on the Breakin Bread label who has an impressive discography dating back to 2003. Their body of work includes three solo albums, a collaborative group album, a dynamic mix CD, a series of 12-inch vinyl releases, captivating EPs, and two digital download albums filled with remixes and unreleased tracks. Ghost has left an indelible mark on the music scene through extensive touring, while also maintaining a strong presence as a skillful DJ and a regular radio performer.
Initially rooted in the world of Hip Hop as a dedicated enthusiast (a passion that endures), Ghost's artistic evolution over the past eight years has been noteworthy. This period has seen a deliberate expansion of musical horizons, embracing genres beyond Hip Hop. Notably, Ghost has delved into the realms of Wonky, Electronic beats, Future Beats, and Bass, demonstrating an impressive versatility that resonates with diverse audiences.

Can you hear me say your name forever?
Can you see me longing for you forever?
Would you let me touch your soul forever?
Can you feel me longing for you forever, forever?
I know the light grows darker down below
But in your eyes it's gone before you know
This is the moment of just letting go
She said, if you had life eternal

If you had life eternal?
The lyrics to Ghost's song "Life Eternal" touch on the themes of grief, longing, and acceptance in the wake of death. The singer is addressing their departed loved one, asking if they can hear them calling out their name forever, if they can see the singer's longing and desire to touch the loved one's soul forever. It's a plaintive plea for recognition, for the continued connection between the living and the dead.
The song takes a turn in the second stanza, with the singer acknowledging the darkness that comes with death, but suggesting that in the loved one's eyes, that darkness is fleeting. The singer then references a conversation with the loved one: she said that if the singer had life eternal, things might be different. It's a wistful moment, a hypothetical that cannot be.
The final lines of the song suggest that the singer and the loved one are dancing once more, but even as they do, the loved one's hands are cold, indicative of the finality of death. It's a bittersweet moment, one that underscores the idea of letting go, both of the loved one and the hope that things could have been different.

I want to call out to you for all eternity, never forgetting the sound of your name.
Can you see me longing for you forever?
For all time, I will yearn for you, hopelessly desiring your presence.
Would you let me touch your soul forever?
May I always have the chance to connect with your essence, to feel your being and know it as mine own.
Can you feel me longing for you forever, forever?
I need you to be aware that the depth of my longing for you is boundless and will never fade.
I know the light grows darker down below
I am aware that life may seem bleak and gloomy at times.
But in your eyes it's gone before you know
However, when I look into your eyes, the darkness disappears and I am filled with light.
This is the moment of just letting go
Just for this moment, I will let go of everything and focus all my attention on you.
She said, if you had life eternal
She spoke to me and said, 'If you could live forever...'
We dance once more
We will have the chance to dance together again, in another lifetime.
I feel your hands are cold
Although I feel your touch, it is a distant and detached sensation.
Within your heart, a story to be told
I sense that there is a deeper truth within you, a tale waiting to be told.
Forever, forever, forever (forever, forever, forever)
The repetition of this word emphasizes the eternity that I desire with you.
If you had life eternal?
If we could exist together forever, what kind of life would we create?

Слышишь ли, как произношу твоё имя — бесконечно?
Видишь ли, как хочу я тебя — бесконечно?
Позволишь ли прикасаться к душе твоей — бесконечно?
Чувствуешь ли, как хочу я тебя — бесконечно? Вечно?
Я знаю, меркнет свет
Но в глазах твоих погаснет прежде, чем ты поймёшь:
Вот он, миг прощания
Она сказала: «Ах, если б ты жил вечно...»
Слышишь ли, как произношу твоё имя — бесконечно?
Видишь ли, как хочу я тебя — бесконечно?
Позволишь ли прикасаться к душе твоей — бесконечно?
Чувствуешь ли, как хочу я тебя — бесконечно? Вечно?
Вновь мы танцуем, и чувствую, что руки холодны твои
В сердце твоём — история, что стоит рассказать
Вот он, миг прощания
Вот он, миг прощания
Слышишь ли, как произношу твоё имя — бесконечно?
Видишь ли, как хочу я тебя — бесконечно?
Позволишь ли прикасаться к душе твоей — бесконечно?
Чувствуешь ли, как хочу я тебя — бесконечно? Вечно?
Бесконечно
Ах, если бы ты жил вечно

I cried to life eternal one time, because my mom broke the news to me that my dog died. Lemme recreate how it went:
Me: listening to ghost on shuffle
Mom: hey.. can I talk to you for a sec?
Me: sure, one second though. finishes song and goes to living room
Mom: so uh… she has died… she didn’t make it through the labor and stokes she had before.. sorry. my mom looks like she is worried about me at this point
Me: in tears she didn’t make it through the labor overnight…?
Mom: yes, she was 8 years old, she was a old dog… sorry.
Me: runs to room and shuts door. plays the next song in playlist
Me: crys even harder hearing that it’s life eternal but still sings along
It’s the saddest thing I’ve experienced.

Tobias has said in several interviews his goal is to bring joy and happiness to people and those are definitely some of the happiest concert goers I've ever seen. He's nailing it.

Update I saw Ghost 8/26 in San Diego and it was the best damn show I've ever been to and I've been to some AMAZING concerts. I'm heartbroken I was sick and missed their show with Volbeat. I hope they tour together again someday.
EmbersFallen
you can't help but leave a Ghost concert on a high. Tobias is a consummate showman and you can tell he lives for us fans.
Admiral John
@EmbersFallen 100%. I saw them live in September and was on a high afterwards for like a week. All I could say leaving the venue was "wow... that was... wow... I... wow."
