From Last.fm:

Heavy / Proto-doom metal band formed 2008 in Sweden. Ghost is the name of a devil worshipping ministry that - in order to spread their unholy gospels and, furthermore, trick mankind into believing that the end is ultimately a good thing - have decided to use the ever so popular rock music medium as a way to achieve their ends.

Standing motionless and anonymous beneath the painted faces, hoods and robes which their sect demand, the six nameless ghouls of Ghost deliver litanies of sexually pulsating heavy rock music and romantic lyrics, that glorify and glamorise the disgusting and sacrilegious, with the simple intention to communicate a message of pure evil via the most effective device they can find - entertainment.

In May 2010 Ghost were contracted to a UK based gramophone company called Rise Above Ltd, who swore an oath stating that they will assist the group in the task of spreading their musical blasphemies through formats such as Compact Discs, Long Playing Vinyl Records and something referred to as Digital Downloading, whatever that is...

The first Long Playing Ghost album "Opus Eponymous" will be released in October 2010 and it is understood and agreed that Rise Above Ltd will spend money on magazine advertising, retail marketing and will employ the services of music publicity specialists in order to expose the music of Ghost to the wider public.

Specific attention will be paid to targeting people (research suggests these are most likely to be adolescents) who have a void in their life, perhaps caused by some form of emotional trauma or upset, that can be filled by the music and philosophies of Ghost. In time, these easily manipulated children will come to share the views and goals of the Ghost ministry and can prepare their own plans for the downfall of humanity..."

"Real names of the band members are not revealed."

the best bootleg video i've ever seen! very good job and thanks a lot for sharing this.

also band; they're sickly good if you like Mercyful Fate & King Diamond stuff.

the mystery and devilish concept is also a very nice flavor ;)

His mask looks like Alice Cooper's real face

Good video. The bass and keys are hard to hear but the video is great. Can't wait to see them im May!

[dmtyer]

interesting the drummer is ambidextrous. Sometimes he plays the snare with his right hand, sometimes his left, depending on whether he is riding or hitting the hi-hat. You don't see that everyday

[GatesOBabylon]

i feel bad for the keyboard player..hes just standing around at least he gets to be in the band

[gutterdweller]

[jmodico]

So satanic but the music is so badass!

@dudetubez That has been done long before Sunn maybe late 60's.

[Horzagiar]

In my opinion Ghost is closer to old bands like Black Sabbath and Blue Öyster Cult than Mercyful Fate.
