Tobias Forge lupailee: ”Ghostilta tulossa ensi vuonna paljon raskaampi ja synkempi albumi”

Ghostin keulamies Tobias Forge on kuvaillut Revolver Magazinelle ja Billboardille antamissaan haastatteluissa, että ensi vuonna ilmestyvän studioalbumin olisi tarkoitus olla raskaampi ja synkempi verrattuna tuoreimpaan ”Prequelle”-levyyn, joka oli genreltään lähempänä enemmänkin balladiheavyä. Vuoden 2020 alussa Ghostin on aikomus palata studioon, ja Forge kertoi mietteitään asiasta seuraavin sanoin:

”I want it to feel different. If I dare to say heavier, people think that it’s going to be Mercyful Fate all the way… but I definitely have a darker, heavier record in mind.”

”Luckily, this time around, I feel very certain as to what I want to do. The dramaturgic nature of the records and the stories are getting more and more intertwined nowadays, which I like. It’s almost like working with a series, I guess; you have your characters and you can still fuck with them and add new things and take things away. You can do whatever you want, which is always enticing from a creative standpoint.”

Tobias Forge on kertonut myös aikomuksistaan tehdä Ghostista elokuva, kunhan ajankohta olisi sopiva kaiken muun kiireen keskellä:

“Most films about bands are biographical, and I see no reason to tell our story yet. It’s a little bit like premature ejaculation. You have to have a career first and then you can tell the real story, so that was never an option. And when you yank away that, what do you have? Well, that would be a fictional story.

The cog wheels are turning on that one. We’re just trying to figure out a lot of the practicalities. Making a film is a big endeavor. Another problem that I have had over the course of my career is that I don’t have a shit-ton of time. I am also a father of two kids and I’m married.

I try to not to break my back. I’ve been so close so many times to overworking and I said yes to everything just because I was so keen on not losing momentum. I’ve learned over the years that it’s really important not to do everything at once.”
