Is that FB post from the nameless ghoul page for becoming a sister of sin or something different? I kinda wanna try out. Also, I couldn't find it on the page so d'you know if there was a submission deadline? thanks~

Hi! The photo was for applying to become a Sister Of Sin, yes. Unfortunately, I haven't seen your post until very late so those shows have already come and gone. Luckily, the band allows new ladies to become Sisters Of Sin at every gig. You'll just need to find the contact info of the venue.

I am a recent fan of Ghost. Random Youtube suggestions brought me to a video of Year Zero. Now I can't get enough. Beginning of this summer I got back into vinyl. Now I own 3 albums from them including 3 releases of Meliora. Over the last year it seems Papa has been identified and at least two of the nameless ghouls. Possibly even David Grohl on drums. It is very difficult to remain anonymous in this world. Too bad. I would have very very much liked if the whole band could remain a mystery.

Unfortunately, the identities of the band members have recently been discovered through one of the members himself. But rather than be upset about the band no longer being anonymous, we should all be grateful that, as promised, the bands stage performance will never change. The anonymity remains while the band performs their 'rituals.'

Who is Special Ghoul? (Some say its Papa)

Obviously, I can't tell you who he is but it's really up to you to decide who you think he is personally. Some people think he's Papa, others think he's the ring leader of the entire band.

How many languages does the band speak? I've seen a bunch of interviews and it seems like a lot..

Swedish, Spanish, Italian, I've heard one of them speak French.

Hi! Is there a interview in which Special Ghoul says Papa will "try to f**k your wife" because I'm about 80% sure that happened but I don't remember what interview it is!!

Here you go!

To Our Anon:

We cannot answer your ask directly but the interview you’re looking for is here.

I also want to add that this is Special Ghoul, not Alpha.

Hey there. First of all: Good job on that interview list. But the interview with Bandit Rock from 2013 ("Alpha: Swedish interview (no subtitles)"), that is not Alpha, that is Special Ghoul! Compare it to the latest Bandit Rock interview with him. xxx

Hello! Thank you for your message! 

Both of us have listened to the interview several times (which is why this reply is so late) and we’ve edited the list so that it says, “Special Ghoul.”
