Tobias Forge Career and Music
Although the band was formed in 2006, Tobias Forge’s identity as the Ghost frontman was only confirmed in 2017, following a lawsuit by former band members due to a royalty dispute. Prior to finding success, he was in several other bands, including Repugnant and Crashdïet, under the stage name Mary Goore.
For his musical accomplishments, Tobias Forge was awarded the 2019 Platinagitarren award from STIM. Due to “Ghost’s epic progression from underground doom favorites to an arena phenomenon” in the 2010s, Loudwire named Tobias the Metal Artist of the Decade.
He was a member of the band Superior under the stage name Leviathan in 1996. He fronted the Stockholm-based death metal band Repugnant from 1998, under the stage name Mary Goore. They recorded their only studio album Epitome of Darkness in 2002, but it was left unreleased when the band broke up in 2004, only being published in 2006. Between 2000 and 2002, Forge was also a guitarist for glam metal band Crashdïet using the Mary Goore name. At some point he also played guitar for the punk rock band Onkel Kånkel.

Since 2006, Forge has acted as chief songwriter and business leader of the rock and heavy metal band Ghost, a project and role that contributed to a significant rise in his fame and popularity, following many years of involvement in other underground acts.
In 2012, during a concert in the band’s hometown of Linköping, Sweden, Papa Emeritus was seemingly retired and replaced by a new vocalist, Papa Emeritus II, but this was actually Forge in another costume. The band’s second album, Infestissumam, was released in 2013. Due to a legal dispute over the band’s name, they were forced to release the album using the name “Ghost B.C.” in the United States.
Despite anonymity being one of Ghost’s biggest themes, Forge’s identity as Papa Emeritus was revealed following a lawsuit in April 2017 by former Ghost members over a royalties dispute.
