Best known as the founder and mastermind of the GRAMMY-winning Swedish theatrical rock band and global sensation GHOST, Tobias Forge has continuously sparked the imaginations of millions of devout followers. In the years since GHOST emerged from Linköping, Sweden, Forge has not only served as the creative force behind the band's music, but also the architect of its mythology--a rich tapestry of characters and storylines featuring such creations of Forge's imagination as Sister Imperator, Mr. Psaltarian, and of course the incarnations of Papa Emeritus I--IV that have led GHOST's arena-filling live rituals the world over. Forge recently expanded his creative agenda to the silver screen, co-directing GHOST's debut feature film RITE HERE RITE NOW, accompanied by a chart-topping soundtrack album and acknowledged as the highest grossing hard rock cinema event in North American history.
