Swedish occult rockers
GHOST, who fully embrace the horror genre, frequently paying homage to classic films on album art and shirt designs, have teamed with horror apparel company
Fright-Rags to release a collection of exclusive merchandise. The line includes four shirts from artists
Justin Osbourn,
Christopher Lovell and
Abrar Ajmal, evoking the sinister imagery associated with the band, along with four custom-knit sock designs featuring the unmistakable visage of frontman
Papa Emeritus and the Nameless Ghouls.
The Ghost Collection is on sale now at
Fright-Rags.com, where you can also find original merchandise from
Rob Zombie,
Alice Cooper and countless horror movies. Quantities are limited.
GHOST has been the subject of intense speculation recently following the dismissal of the band's entire lineup last December by frontman and founder
Tobias Forge, who performs as
Papa Emeritus, and a recent lawsuit filed against
Tobias by four ex-members, known previously only as Nameless Ghouls. The musicians have accused
Tobias of cheating them out of their rightful share of the profits from the group's album releases and world tours.
The four ex-members were offered two separate contract proposals by
Forge in 2016, which they rejected as "slave agreements."
The new lineup of
GHOST, which made its live debut in late March, is rumored to include musicians who have previously played with
THE SISTERS OF MERCY,
KORN,
PENDRAGON and
BLOODBATH.
