1) Ghost, also … Read Full Bio ↴There are several artists sharing the moniker Ghost;
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.

A we run the show

I read your letter just the other day

i never buy you fancy clothes
I never bought you chocolate or a rose
I wonder if its things like those

I know your friends been telling you
lotta things about me
I don't give a damn
what am I to do
and I know you been to places
know you've seen many faces
know lotta guys out there wanna go out with you
But baby I love you and i wish you (that you'd)
Pursue doing what you born to do
Baby I Love You and i wish you (that you'd)
Pursue doing what you born to do
I know you tripping this is what I have to say
You coulda never find another man like me
I am the player who control your destiny
Don't mess with me
Not so long ago you were a friend of mine
you let them trip you and control your mind
Unfortunately when you leave these arms of mine
you're wasting time
I know your friends been tellin you
alot a things about me
I don't give a damn
what am I to do
and I know you been to places

know lotta guys out there wanna go out with you
Oh well baby I Love You and i wish you (that you'd)
Pursue doing what you born to do
Baby I Love You and i wish you (that you'd)
Pursue doing what you born to do
I know it doesnt matter
that you broke my heart and walked away
and as for your new lover
I hope that he will love you the same way? (the same way)
And baby I love you and I wish you (that you'd)
Pursue doing what you born to do
Baby I Love You and i wish you (that you'd)
Pursue doing what you born to do
The song "Love You" by Ghost is a story of love, heartbreak, and the desire to encourage a loved one to pursue their dreams. The opening lines of the song ("Rude boy, A we run the show so I guess a me flow, just listen let me tell you this story and how it go") set the tone for the rest of the song; it is a personal, heartfelt message from Ghost to someone he loves. The letter that Ghost receives from his love is the primary focus of the song, and he reads it as the lyrics unfold.
The letter that Ghost receives evidently informs him that his "baby" is planning on leaving, and he struggles to come to terms with this revelation. He is confused as to what could have made her decide to leave him, as she states that she loves him in her letter. Ghost goes on to remind her that he has never been overtly extravagant or romantic, but he loves her nonetheless. He understands that his love may have been misled by friends' opinions of him or even by her own desire to see other people, but he encourages her anyway by telling her to follow her dreams.
Ghost is confident in his own abilities and reminds her that she will never find someone else like him. He is the "player who controls her destiny" and urges her not to mess with him. His love for her is profound, and he hopes that she can find happiness in whatever path she chooses to take, even if it means moving on from their relationship.
Overall, "Love You" is a love song with a complex message. Ghost weaves together a narrative of love, disappointment, and empowerment that speaks to the heart of anyone who has ever been in a similar situation.

There’s something so ethereally blissful about this song. One of the most captivating and gifted vocalists and performers to emerge from Jamaica. I wish more people would give him his flowers.
