Ghost New Album Will Be More Apocalyptic Than Meliora

 Papa Emeritus Reports 

After all the things that happened to Ghost the last few months Papa Emeritus and the new Ghost lineup are preparing for a new album .  In an interview with the Albuquerque Journal disguised as a Nameless Ghoul, Forge gave a hint of what fans could expect from their as-yet-untitled next album and gave some insight into the writing process.

Forge says: “Having in mind that the previous record was about the absence of God or the absence of deities, this new one is going to be about the return of God.

“You know, God’s wrath cast upon the suffering humans. So it will be a little bit more biblical in that sense which in turn makes it darker, a little bit more apocalyptic, I think. That’s basically what I can tell you about it right now.”

He says that he’s constantly working on material which has been around for up to 10 years and likes to incorporate new ideas – with any tracks not suitable for what will be the band’s fourth full-length studio album already planned for their fifth record.

Forge adds: “It’s a pick and mix of a lot of different ideas and stuff laying around – a lot of new stuff being added to the pile.

“It’s a constant thinking ahead, and now, I’m thinking about album no. 5, because there are songs coming out now or being written that I feel won’t fit into the new album, so I’ll put that one onto the next one instead.”

Ghost's Papa AKA Tobias Forge To Lawsuit

The Thing Is Getting Out Of Control

We all know the decision that Papa Emeritus aka Tobias Forge took months ago to fire all Ghost members cause their identity had been discovered . Later in some interviews Tobias stated that all ghouls are expendables . So the late band members decided to do a lawsuit on him . Now in a formal response to the lawsuit leveled against him from ex-bandmates claiming they've been screwed out of money, Emeritus reveals his not-so-secret identity, and explains that all Ghost activities are him and him only. This includes having trademarks registered in his name, performing instruments, writing the music, everything.

Tobias Forge has, more or less his whole life, acted as composer and author of lyrics as a singer, guitarist, drummer and bassist. As such, he has appeared in several famous rock bands such as Repugnant and Crashdiet, but also in Subvision, Magna Carta Cartel (where also one of the plaintiffs also played) and Superior. At the same time as Tobias Forge participated in various rock bands, he also created his music and wrote lyrics. Tobias Forge is the creator of the rock band GHOST. He alone founded and created GHOST, its image with anonymity and the special scene show as well as the first trademark associated with GHOST.

Tobias Forge is the main author of all GHOST musical works, with the exception of "Year Zero" and "Zenith" that was created on the initiative of Martin Persner. However, these two works have been revised, arranged and instrumented by Tobias Forge. The lyrics for "Year Zero" are written by Tobias Forge. Furthermore, Klas Åhlund has participated to some extent in the latest Meliora album (2015). All assignments of rights to works are registered at Svenska Tonsättares International Music Agency (STIM).

Tobias Forge has, in all cases, performed all vocal efforts on these recordings, with the exception of some choir singing performed by hired singers. With the exception of the Meliora (2015) album, the recording process has always started with Tobias Forge's first recording of demo versions. On these he has arranged all the works and also covered all the instruments, which includes the creation and arrangement of eg riff / licks, instrumental solo, drumming, choice of rhythm and tempo. With a few exceptions, Tobias Forge has thus solely taken responsibility for the entire arrangement of how the instruments are to be handled, regardless of whether it was ultimately someone else who has actually recorded the final version. In the event that another musician has performed the works at the recordings, they have been given directives that the instruments should be treated in exactly the same way that Tobias Forge has recorded them on the demo recordings. There has thus been no room for self-interpretation, except in some cases when Martin Persner performed small so-called "licks" on a couple of recordings. " Licks' means short repetitive tones that are often played by the guitarist in hard rock.

The lawsuit also furthers the assertation that Ghost is Forge's project and Forge's project alone.

Since the musicians (The Ghouls) are anonymous, Tobias Forge is free to change the musician at will. Since the musicians always should perform the works according to Tobias Forge's explicit instructions, they are not irreplaceable and are not considered crucial for the band.

I know calling Forge selfish and all that seems like the popular thing to do, but it really doesn't seem like that's the case. If this response is completely, 100% accurate (why wouldn't it be?), then everyone else who has ever been in Ghost has been a hired gun. Whether or not they've been paid their fair rates is a whole separate story, but the fact still stands that this is Forge's project.

Former Ghost Members Are Suing Papa Emeritus

It Seems Logical

The decision of Papa Emeritus aka Tobias Forge to fire all band members was unexpected and got us all confused ! Why to fire all the band members that helped the band get the recognition it got! Those members where a part of ghost that cannot been replaced ! So I totally agree with the former member that they suing Papa .
A report from the Swedish newspaper, Corren, states the former members are suing Forge to get him to disclose the band's revenue and expenses between 2011 and 2016. Should he fail to do so, they are asking the court to penalize Forge for 200,000 SEK, which is about $22,000 US, or whatever the court deems reasonable. The former members allege that Forge was withholding money from them and tried to get them to sign contracts that amounted to, what they called, "slave labor."


The members allege Tobias made decisions for the group without consulting the rest of

them, yet also say that a partnership agreement  exists between them and Tobias which put Tobias in charge of the management of the band. They claim he has been collecting all the royalties and revenue from the band's merchandise and touring but never provided other band members with any financial statements. Forge instead insisted that the band was not yet profitable, according to court papers.
The former members claim they did not receive any compensation in 2012, and the dire situation resulted in Forge, under pressure, to pay the members sporadic amounts while still claiming there was no money in their company bank account.
Interestingly, Martin Persner, who recently outed himself as a former Ghoul, is not a part of the suit. In December, Forge, through his lawyer, contested the claim that Ghost was a partnership.

First Ghost New Lineup Live Appeance (Video)

It Seems Like Nothing Changed

New Ghost lineup made their first appearance 2 days ago Friday, March 24 at Norwich UEA in Norwich, England . It is their first appearance and we really don't know who are the people behind the masks .So a new game begins in media . Guess who ghouls really are ! It doent really matter in my opinion . That's just childism . The mystery is what makes the band what it is . As for the singer's decision to continue with an all new lineup is that this is wrong . The identity of the new Ghouls will sometime be reviled end then they will change again their lineup . It doent make any sense. As for the new member most of the fans agree that the new member are not as good as the old ones and I agree too! Video of the new ghost lineup down below!

Ghost Won Grammy But It Seems Like Ghost Papa Fired All Members

It Seems Its Not A Rumors Anymore

It seems like its not rumors anymore .The band won Best Hard Rock/Metal Performance award in Swedish Grammys. But hold on ! Instead of the whole band stand up and accept the award only Papa came to accept it!  As MetalSucks reports, only one Nameless Ghoul was there to accept the Best Hard Rock/Metal Performance award, and seeing that Tobias Forge , aka Papa, previously dressed as Ghouls for interviews (including one conducted by the source), a scenario of Forge accepting the award as a Ghoul doesn't come as too far fetched. So it seems like Papa fired all the old member as we suspected and maybe he will show up with an all new lineup ! (Video Of The Award Down Below)
The musician told Metal Wani:

"From a practical point of view, you're interested in, on the one hand, preserving the sound, or the elements that make up the sound, and you still wanna progress. I think one of the secrets behind our preserving ability is the fact that we don't necessarily have to have the same six people in the room to make that sound, which helps.

"It's always a blessing and a curse when you have some of these classic bands over the course of rock and roll history, where in order for them to sound like that exact band, you need those four individuals, and if one is missing, it does not sound like that.

"And, fortunately, we don't have that problem.

"Because performing Ghost and recording Ghost has never really been the same thing. So that we can preserve our sound; we don't have to rely on... if some people come and go, which is good.

"Queens of the Stone Age is the same thing. Everything goes through Josh's hands, and therefore it sounds like Queens of the Stone Age, regardless of who he brings in and out of the band, which is, I guess, a similar situation."

Have Papa fired all members ?? Will there be a new lineup ? who knows?

Ghost To Record New "Darker" Album This Summer And Papa Firing All Members

We Did Not See That Coming

GHOST New Lineup

After their successful single Square Hammer (a mastepiece in my opinion) and a Grammy in their collection Ghost are heading all the way to a new album . This new album will have a darker sound as Papa Emeritus IV stated . He also said that the band will work on new album this summer! In a new interview with Metal Wani, frontman Tobias Forge said :

"The ideas for the new record will be quote-unquote darker, because it's thematically set in a different… in a darker setting. Meliora was supposed to reflect some sort of utopia/dystopia in the modern society, whereas this new one is gonna be a little bit more apocalyptic, a little bit more back to the medieval times, which, obviously, is associated with darkness. "

He continued: "Obviously, in metal, in extreme metal, you have a myriad of records that are thematically in the Middle Ages, but the idea for this new album is to combine… So where [other] records [covering similar lyrical themes are] drowned and surrounded and drenched in death, it's gonna be a record about survival. So that constantly working with those polar, sort of, elements is also a difference, I guess, between… If you find a black metal record that is about the Plague and the death, you will have only death — everything is just black and everything just ends black. Whereas one of my driving forces writing a record like that is to write a record about the survival of that and the prosperity."

"It's gonna be a darker record. Is it gonna be all through and through heavier? I don't know, obviously. But we do have melody and we do have songs that are not so heavy. From my point of view, from where I'm sitting, knowing a little bit of the material coming in, it's gonna be both. It's gonna have everything from heavy, crushing metal to big, ballady anthems."

Papa Emeritus III

Another thing that he said that confused me and got me little angry is that we will fire all member and he will bring a new lineup in the Ghost ! Why??? Being in a band like ghost is a dream even wearing a mask! I don't really can say why but he says that by the time the were mask it not going to be so different .

He said (via Metal Sucks): "From a practical point of view, you're interested in, on the one hand, preserving the sound, or the elements that make up the sound, and you still wanna progress. I think one of the secrets behind our preserving ability is the fact that we don't necessarily have to have the same six people in the room to make that sound, which helps.

"It's always a blessing and a curse when you have some of these classic bands over the course of rock and roll history, where in order for them to sound like that exact band, you need those four individuals, and if one is missing, it does not sound like that.

"And, fortunately, we don't have that problem.
"Because performing Ghost and recording Ghost has never really been the same thing. So that we can preserve our sound; we don't have to rely on... if some people come and go, which is good.

"Queens of the Stone Age is the same thing. Everything goes through Josh's hands, and therefore it sounds like Queens of the Stone Age, regardless of who he brings in and out of the band, which is, I guess, a similar situation."

The only thing positive thing that I can think about that is the new member will bring new ideas and sounds with them but we don't really know if these ideas at going to be any good for the band!

Ghost New Album Will Be Darker Than Meliora Was

Ghoul States

As you may know Ghost are working on a new album which they want to be ready this fall . Also the band has an upcoming tour with Iron Maiden this year . So about the album now. A nameless ghoul was interviewed by Loudwire and was asked a lot of questions about the upcoming album . So the Ghoul answered :

"Let’s just say that it’s a continuation of Meliora, but it’s sort of a response. I’ve used the word “pre-apocalyptic” on Meliora. It’s sort of the hide of civilization. It’s the symbolism, just look at the cover. It’s sky risers, everything. You don’t even see the ground. It’s all covered and built material. Obviously there has to be an end to that. So there will be a call and response. The next album will be the response to that. So if there was an absence of a God, there might be a return of a deity, which usually comes in horrible forms. So it will be a darker album."

So Ghoul explain us that is going to be a dark album and also explain us what is the album is about. But not much details though.
