Top Comments of this video!! :3
tobias forge the singer is actually wearing a mask too! the papa character with the skull paint is actually a full face mask! so theyâre all wearing masks on stage, itâs hard to tell that the papa masks are actually masks sometimes because they just look like makeup! the different papas of the lore have drastically different looks and facial structure and itâs incredibly impressive! itâs my favorite band of all time, with the lore and the amazing music and the execution, itâs all so amazing, comforting, and refreshing!!

I hope she eventually does one of their more ârock/metalâ songs! This song was done in a 60s style to go along with the lore. Would love to see Cirice, Square Hammer, Ritual, He Is, or Rats to start. So many great songs to choose from. One is not enough. Also, they are phenomenal in concert. The theatrics, the story, the music are top notch.

For the vocal standpoint, Tobias also wears a prosthetic mask, which he has said in interviews effects how he has to modify his singing because it puts limitations on how he can move his face.
If you truly want to hear him sing heavy death metal, listen to one of his former bands called Repugnant. Or listen to Ghost âMummy Dustâ like I mentioned in chat. Or âFrom the Pinnacle to the Pitâ especially live.
One of the goals Tobias has is to challenge what the genre of metal means. Itâs all on purpose. Thatâs why youâre hearing all sorts of influences of other sounds and bands and decades. Tobias is from Sweden so heâs got a lot of Swedish melodic death metal influences.
EDIT: listen to plenty of other songs of theirs to gets better feel for the band. Their type of metal is melodic. Metal is a very wide range of sound. Thereâs so many great songs. I highly suggest listening to more of Ghost!

tobias becomes an even more impressive singing musician when you realize that he sings while in a mask while doing these live concerts, which is just a whole other level of amazing and talented. I couldn't imagine how hot and sweaty everyone must be wearing those masks while singing and playing instruments.

For the last couple of albums Ghost added a lot more band members then they used to have. Their keyboardist, who is a woman, does a lot of backing vocals on their newer material and it's added a lot to the band as a whole. She is such a fantastic new addition.
As far as their following goes they are definitely more popular now than they've ever been. Their first few albums were very slept on and it was a small amount of us following them. The first time I saw them live during their first album they were playing very small rooms and bars. Compare that to now and they are selling out huge theaters, arenas and even headlining festivals. They have a wide range of fans though. You'll see everything from pop fans to die hard metal heads at their shows and there are always a large amount of people in full costume in the crowd. A lot of fans are very die hard and go all the way with their fandom.
Ghosts first album was closer to metal than any of their others but ever since the first album they've leaned more into the melodic rock/pop music. If you want to hear them play something akin to metal I'd suggest listening to anything off their first album. It's actually a huge argument that takes place among their fans and detractors. More die hard metal fans get offended at people saying Ghost is "metal" and it's led to a small portion of the metal community to absolutely hate Ghost. Personally I think people get a little too hung up on the genres and what they mean but that's just me. Music is music and if you enjoy it then just enjoy it without worrying about what genre it is.

The fact that she had no idea that Tobias is wearing a full mask really speaks to the quality of the maker.
