What Is Ghost BC Ritual Behind The Creepy Mask?
Tobias Forge, GHOST BC’s lead singer and founder who goes by the stage name Papa Emeritus, unmasked himself publicly for the first time since the band’s formation in 2017 for an appearance on P1’s daily one-man show “Sommar I P1,” which has aired every summer since 1959.
The outlandish on-stage presence of Ghost BC makes it easy to identify. The ‘Nameless Ghouls,’ seven of the group’s eight members, dress in nearly identical, face-covering costumes.
Impera, the band’s upcoming fifth studio album, is due out in 2022.
Has Ghost Bc Members Done Face Reveal? Know The Details
No, the notoriously secretive Swedish metal band, which includes frontman Papa Emeritus II and his backing band of Nameless Ghouls, did not reveal their true identities.
The six-piece did, however, reveal some of the techniques they used to keep their names and faces hidden in an increasingly privacy-conscious world.
Instead, one of the Nameless Ghouls appeared for a brief Q&A with fans, answering various questions.
The Nameless Ghouls are Ghost’s members. They go by the moniker ‘Nameless Ghouls’ in order to remain anonymous.
When the band performs live, there are currently eight Ghouls who play all of the instruments alongside the frontman.
Ghoulettes and Ghulehs are the names given to three female Ghouls. The Ghouls wear nearly identical face-mask outfits that change with each album period.
The frontman of the band, known as ‘Papa Emeritus,’ wears a prosthetic mask of skull face paint and appears to be a “demonic anti-Pope.”
Each record cycle has resulted in a change in the band’s appearance. Despite the fact that the vocalist is almost always depicted as the same iconic character, there are minor differences in appearance and even behavior from previous iterations.

The Nameless Ghouls, aka Ghost BC, who are dressed in identical devil masks and costumes, represent the five elements or instrumentalities(fire, water, air, earth, and aether or quintessence). At the same time, their leader, Papa Emeritus, is the group’s anti-pope symbol.
In a 2016 interview with “Big Smash Radio,” Forge admitted that the mystery surrounding GHOST has contributed to the band’s success.
Former Ghost members are reportedly suing Ghost frontman Papa Emeritus (Tobias Forge). According to a report, four of Ghost’s former ghouls are attempting to extort $22,000 from Forge.
Ghost lineup changes have been rumored for the majority of 2017.
