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.
