Ghost

Mainstream pop-metal success may be a thing of the past, but Ghost is doing everything it can to correct that. While ostensibly Satanists, the shadowy combo (mainly the work of singer and multi-instrumentalist Tobias Forge) crashed the Billboard Top Three this summer with Prequelle, a singable concept album about the Black Plague, led by the unlikely single “Rats.” For the first time in its history, Ghost is mounting an arena-scaled world tour, one that climaxes in America with Saturday’s show at Brooklyn’s Barclays Center. Fans of horror movies, pounding guitar riffage and an Alice Cooper–esque flair for the dramatic know where to be.
