This is where Swedish masked heavy metal band "Ghost" [a.k.a. "Ghost BC"]... winner of 1 USA Grammy, as well as several Swedish ones, for their 3rd [and IMHO best] album "Meliora" ... lead by singer/songwriter Tobias Forge, also known as "Papa Emeritus" 1, 2, 3 and his latest incarnation named "Cardinal Copia"... along with rest of the band members called "Nameless Ghouls"... record their albums, perform soundchecks, and prepare their fake-satanic gigs prior to each USA tour.

"Ghost" have opened for Iron Maiden, headlined Wacken 2018, been featured on the "Late Show With Stephen Colbert" and in general created some pretty great music, but mostly on their first 3 albums, prior to the court shitshow which resulted in replacement of the best "Nameless Ghouls" musicians the band ever had (story for another day). Several offshoot bands formed or re-formed after that, such as "MCC" ("Magna Carta Cartel"), "Priest", etc. Google it for yourself and you just might find some excellent music! Not as great as "Blind Guardian" (if you're into melodic heavy metal, but never heard of them, you're seriously missing out big time. "Bard's Song" & "Valhalla" [live versions] might just blow your mind).

Anywhoo... "Ghost" current USA tour dubbed "A Pale Tour Named Death" is in progress, coming to Sacramento & San Jose in mid-November 2018. Highly recommended for the whole theatrical experience alongside music, but it's best to first check them out on YouTube and see their earlier works, such as "Cirice" video for which they got the USA Grammy, or any other song from "Meliora". That is if you like melodic/satanic (but not really) metal/hard rock which smacks of "Blue Oyster Cult" and the likes of the 80's/90's retro sound in general. You might discover some gems, depending on your music taste. \m/
