Tobias Forge is a Swedish musician, singer, songwriter, and producer who is best known as the founder and frontman of the heavy metal band Ghost. Forge’s music is characterized by its theatricality and dramatic flair, incorporating elements of classic rock, metal, and pop into a unique sound that has earned him critical acclaim and a devoted fan base around the world.
Forge’s musical career began in the late 1990s when he formed the death metal band Repugnant with a group of friends. However, it wasn’t until he formed Ghost in 2008 that he achieved mainstream success. Ghost’s debut album, Opus Eponymous, was released in 2010 and was immediately hailed as a masterpiece of modern metal. The album spawned several hit singles, including “Ritual,” “Elizabeth,” and “Stand By Him,” and established Forge as a rising star in the music world.
Since then, Forge has gone on to release several more albums with Ghost, including Infestissumam (2013), Meliora (2015), and Prequelle (2018), all of which have received critical acclaim and commercial success. In addition to his work with Ghost, Forge has collaborated with several other artists and musicians, including Candlemass, Marissa Nadler, and MCC (Magnus Carlson & the Moon Ray Quintet).
In 2019, Ghost’s ambitious third studio album, ‘Meliora’, which had been engineered with the partnership of producer Klas Åhlund, won the prestigious Grammis award (the Swedish equivalent of the Grammy Awards) for ‘Best Hard Rock/Metal Album’. Following that, in 2020, the band’s chart-topping hit, ‘Rats’, from their album ‘Prequelle’, bagged the ‘Best Rock Song’ award at the iHeartRadio Music Awards, demonstrating Forge’s expertise in creating immersive storytelling through music. Moreover, Forge was honored with the ‘Hottest Male’ title in the 2016 Kerrang! Awards, acknowledging not just his musical talent, but also his on-stage charisma and mystique. In 2021, Forge’s storytelling brilliance was yet again recognized when ‘Ghost: The Phantomhive’ won the ‘Best Limited Series’ at the prestigious Eisner Awards.
