According to Blabbermouth.net, Part one of a documentary web series focusing on Swedish occult rockers GHOST can be seen below (courtesy of Vice’s Noisey.com). Director Greg Olliver, who co-directed and produced 2010’s “Lemmy” film and the soon-to-be-released psychological thriller/horror “Devoured”, directed the video for GHOST.
Filming for the series and planned feature-length documentary began on the summer festival circuit and continues through the year.
The first episode features live performance, interviews and behind-the-scenes footage from GHOST’s tour in Sweden, Germany and Belgium.The project is being produced through Olliver’s New York City-based production company Secret Weapon Films.
“Greg has the perfect mix of story-telling acumen, musical taste and a fondness for the macabre… it made him the ideal choice to tell the story of GHOST,” said Adam Farrell, creative director of the band’s label, Loma Vista. “You can’t point a camera at GHOST without every frame of footage looking like heavy-metal gold,” said Olliver. “I was thrilled to hear that they wanted to work with me. Making films with legends like Lemmy and Johnny Winter, who have well-known stories, is one thing, but to work with a band that’s on a fast rise to fame and has a mysterious story which is currently unraveling requires an entirely different approach. Add in the anonymity of the group and the look that they have… and you suddenly have a whole lot to chew on as a director. The only downside is that I felt a bit silly on stage filming while NOT wearing a robe and black mask.”
GHOST’s sophomore album, “Infestissumam”, sold around 14,000 copies in the United States in its first week of release to debut at position No. 28 on The Billboard 200 chart. The CD topped the official chart in the group’s home country after selling nearly five times as many copies as the No. 2 album, MISS LI’s “Wolves”.

“The Mike James Rock Show” conducted an interview with a nameless ghoul from Swedish occult rockers GHOST at this year’s Download festival, which took place June 14-16 at Donington Park in Leicestershire, United Kingdom. You can now watch the chat below.
GHOST‘s sophomore album, “Infestissumam”, sold around 14,000 copies in the United States in its first week of release to debut at position No. 28 on The Billboard 200 chart.
The CD topped the official chart in the group’s home country after selling nearly five times as many copies as the No. 2 album, MISS LI‘s “Wolves”.
The release date of “Infestissumam” was reportedly pushed back a week to April 16 after four compact disc manufacturers allegedly refused to print a piece of artwork that was meant for the deluxe version of the new CD. The manufacturers all took issue with the sacrilegious imagery, inspired by the work of Gustave Dore, which showcases what looks like a forest nymph orgy. The controversial art can still be found on both the vinyl and European copies of the “Infestissuman” CD.
GHOST was forced to modify its name in the U.S. to GHOST B.C. for “legal reasons.”
Hailing from Linköping, Sweden, GHOST formed in in 2008. They released their heralded debut album, “Opus Eponymous”, in 2010. In 2011, GHOST performed at the annual Download festival in the United Kingdom. The band’s fanbase began to swell and not long after added some of hard rock’s finest to this group. Additionally that year, GHOST took part in the “Defenders Of Faith III” tour with TRIVIUM, IN FLAMES and RISE TO REMAIN. In early 2012, they embarked on their first tour of the United States and later that year shared the stage with MASTODON and OPETH on their “Heritage Hunter Tour” in North America. That summer the band was invited by METALLICA‘s James Hetfield to perform on the main stage of METALLICA‘s first annual Orion Music + More festival.
