Mysterious Swedish band GHOST have won a Grammi for their second album Infestissumam.
Their home nation’s equivalent of the US Grammy awards ceremony took place in Stockholm last night, where the occult-themed band emerged victorious in the Best Hard Rock/Metal category.
The other nominees were Crashdiet for The Savage Playground, Watain for The Wild Hunt, Nicke Borg Homeland for Ruins Of A Riot, and The Kristet Utseende for Pervogenesis.
Ghost consists of five Nameless Ghouls behind frontman Papa Emeritus II, and although their identities have yet to be revealed, one of the band last year admitted it was only a matter of time.
He said: “I think we’ve been able to sustain our thing so far because there hasn’t been that kind of level of interest in the band. That will change. It’s something of a paradox. To go further as a band doesn’t run parallel with being anonymous.”
In October the band released a five-track covers EP called If You Have Ghost, produced by Dave Grohl – who, it’s claimed, has actually performed with them as one of the Nameless Ghouls. They appear at this year’s Sonisphere festival at Knebworth in July.

Swedish bashers GHOST, who toured Australia recently with the Big Day Out, recently dropped by Music Feeds Studio with frontman Papa Emeritus II decked out in full clergymen attire rather than his stage outfit to perform ‘Ritual’, a cut from their debut full-length album, 2010?s Opus Eponymous:
Ghost recently uploaded a previously unseen video of ‘Year Zero’, performed live at Webster Hall in New York City on May 11th, 2013.
GHOST has issued the following announcement on the band’s Official Facebook Page:
We wish to inform you that Ghost won the award for “Rock/Metal of the Year” at the P3 Guld awards in Gothenburg, Sweden. Thank you for all your votes.
Besides GHOST’s Infestissumam among the nominees were CULT OF LUNA’s Vertikal, WATAIN’s The Wild Hunt, IN SOLITUDE’s Sister and TIGER BELL’s Don’t Wanna Hear About Your Band.
