GHOST Release Official Music Video For “He Is”

Ghost has released an official video for the “He Is”, a track from the 2015 release, Meliora. The video, directed by Zev Deans, can be seen below:

Sweden's P1 was ground zero on August 17th for Ghost founder Tobias Forge officially revealing that he does in fact perform as frontman Papa Emeritus, even though the truth has been known for several months due to legal issues with former members of Ghost.

Forge spoke on several topics during his hour-long discussion including his formative years as a musician; check Reddit here for a complete transcription translated from Swedish. An excerpt is available below, with Forge addressing his late brother.

Forge: "Did I tell you about the Grammy, by the way? I got one of those.. about a year ago. We were in LA and went on a celebrity party, it was very big. Mother is very proud, and tells everyone who I am, even if it's supposed to be a secret. But fuck that now, I suppose.

“I look for books that I know you loved and always told me that I should read. And I still miss some of those Sture Dahlström-books that you cheered for, but I'm keeping and eye out.. I'm always looking for them. The problem is that I can find them in Sweden, and.. I very much want to have the original-editions and not new...

“I still re-create your disc-collection in my own and I often feel closer to you when I listen to music to I knew you liked. Wherever I look, I see thinks that you've shown me. It feels like you're always walking besides me. I still go hand in hand with you.. On our way from the city, home to Tannefors. Home to Tegelsbruksgatan.. I'm still the 5 years old who jumps around in the couth at our home, dressed in your and mothers clothes with make-up, rocking to hard rock. I'm still the 5 years old that you cheered for when I did something bad, that you'd encouraged me to. I'm still the 5 years old who has bad language in front of you and your laughing friends. It's a few more people who laughs nowadays. And applaud they do as well, and that's very fun.

“It's feels like you're with me everywhere, and we're happy together about everything that happens. And one thing you must know. I'm still your biggest fan.. Thank you for everything, my beloved brother. See you in Niagijala.

“My name is Tobias Forge. I'm the man behind the mask in Ghost."

During a recent interview with Rock Feed, Tobias Forge revealed he would be hitting the studio this month with a new batch of Nameless Ghouls to record the band's next album:

"Come August 14th, it's not gonna be a big day for mankind but it's going to be a big week for myself because I'm going into the studio and we're going to start recording the new album. The rest of the fall is going to be recording. While it's not going to be a big event for all y'all, it's going to be a big event for us."
