Metal Hammer is proud to present a brand-new bookazine detailing the entire history of Ghost<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Bundled with six exclusive gifts, including art cards and a crucifix patch that you won\u2019t find anywhere else, this 132-page special goes in-depth into every era of the Swedish hard rock\/heavy metal<\/a> juggernaut. There are retrospectives on every album, from 2010 debut Opus Eponymous to this year\u2019s Skelet\u00e1<\/a>, as well as the interviews we\u2019ve done with singer\/mastermind Tobias Forge across the past 15 years. If you\u2019re a Ghost fan, the access doesn\u2019t get more intimate and the history doesn\u2019t get more comprehensive than this!<\/p>\n

\u201cI think people need to understand that my albums are never conceptual in the way that King Diamond\u2019s are,\u201d Tobias says in the bookazine, talking during the Impera<\/a> days in 2022. \u201cIt\u2019s never a story that starts in the beginning and finishes at the end of the story. It\u2019s not a rock opera.<\/p>\n

\u201cTo compare it to other artists, it\u2019s more like Iron Maiden<\/a>\u2019s concept albums \u2013 like a record that loosely dabbles with the concept of pharaohs or time. On Powerslave, there are other songs that aren\u2019t technically about pharaohs. Or like on Somewhere In Time, the songs have a chronological element in them. Impera is similar, where the songs are shining a light on various things within an empire. I guess you could say they show the cracks inside of it.\u201d<\/p>\n

The special also features our rare audience with Tobias in his Papa Emeritus II persona back in 2013, on the cusp of the release of second album Infestissumam.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe new album is foremost about the presence of the Devil,\u201d Papa II told us. \u201cIt deals with the relationship that the individual has with the presence of darkness, and what we identify as the Devil. It deals with real issues.\u201d<\/p>\n
