Tobias is the only official member of the band, but as of recently, the other current live members have been low key announcing that they’re playing for Ghost via their social media accounts. Plus, the Ghost fans are detectives and so they’ve figured out who’s under the mask. Ghost culture has grown very attached to some of the people under the mask like Aether ghoul, Rain ghoul, Dew (Sodo) ghoul.
fun fact, papa II's mask was the first original one, as papa I's mask was just bought from a regular store. though, of course, the makeup on top of the masks was original. it's also cool how the makeup is different enough between the papas that you can tell them apart just from that
There's a lot of cool little details in this video I think. The out of focus like an old Italian tv show. The sudden focus on the smoke like someone felt asleep at the camera. Even the spiral cables the guitarist use. And the cheap decor is wonderful too🙂. I know Tobias and the other guys quite well, and this is just their kind of humour 😁
Those guitars are Gibson RD's, which were originally made in the 70's and have a had a few limited runs since. They are very heavy. Ghost worked with Swedish guitar maker Hagstrom to create a similar model the "Fantomen" - which you can see in the Rats video. The style of the video is supposed to look like an old soundstage from the 70's. The band was very mysterious back then.
This is Papa Emeritus II ! He's my favorite one. I love how serious and stern his face looks, and I love the very minimal black+white+emerald color scheme. He hits a perfect balance between simplicity and elegance that the others don't. (The first had a poorly made costume, and the third and fourth are overly elaborate for my tastes)
Papa 1 is the first album, old and decaying. Papa ll is this second album, menacing and spooky. Papa lll is third album, Mr. Sexy tuxedo man. Cardinal Copia is fourth album, whimsical and fanciful with moves. Papa lV is cardinal Copia ascended to Papa of the fifth album, glorious and magnificent.
Don't remember where I heard this, but I remember Tobias saying that secular haze was meant to sound more like vikings crossing the sea instead of being associated with that circus feel. I guess that's just how it turned out.
After you finish Infesstisumam and before you start Meliora, you should check out the two 'Papaganda' videos for some hilarious insight into Papa II's personality.
Tobias is the only official member who participates in the writing and recording. As far as we know, no member of the band has participated in writing or recording since probably the third album and that was Martin. Since Ghost hired new people, the touring band has not changed much except adding a few backup singers. So, the touring band, for now, seems to be effectively members of Ghost since they do appear in some videos and are featured in the live Mary on a Cross video. Hell, lots of Ghost fans know them, follow them, buy their music, go to their solo shows etc.
If you want to see Papa one, you should react to ghosts first concert in London. The Underground. It looks like it’s in a basement club. Maybe as a live stream.
Also, what were people thinking about not knowing who the band was? I, for one, was fucking enamored with this band's lore/mystery. I used to be so in love with Ghost. I still am, but I used to too.

Also this was actually PAPA II

Yeah, this was the first official videoclip. There was a teaser for a video music of "Ritual" but the video itself was never released.

This was the song that made me fall in love with Ghost. The bass line in that chorus is so sexy in this goddamn song.
“If you shred, you’re dead!”

I like how the video looks like VHS. This was also the best Papa.

That chorus is something else. Sheesh.

Hell yeah!!!! This is what I've been waiting for!!
