During a recent interview with Rolling Stone UK, Tobias Forge opened up about being the creative force behind Ghost. According to him, the band is more of a solo project.
Forge said the following:
“If you want to be super pragmatic, I’m technically a solo artist. I don’t have to think in terms of a group, but everybody needs to understand that my job is a group effort… We’re a group working together, but practically, if the label is asking Ghost to make a record, they don’t call a group of people — they will call me because it’s my responsibility. So, as a creator and a writer, I don’t think that there is such a thing as an end until the actual end.”
He also added the following about the band’s new album “Skeletá,” which is set to be released on April 25:
“I’ve mostly described the record as one about being human. Life isn’t always great. There’s a non-deliberate, self-inflicted sense of unhappiness that we have subjected ourselves to because we have somehow got the idea that life is supposed to be 100 per cent positive. Life is, unfortunately, a balancing act where good and bad is a pendulum going back and forth, and that’s something I’m guilty of not intuitively feeling all the time. That is a very natural part of the struggles of being alive, and it’s perfectly fine.”
