GHOST's New Nameless Ghoul Costumes Were Inspired By Star Wars

Ghost's new Nameless Ghoul costumes took a pretty hard turn away from their usual religious, almost masquerade-like look lately. Instead, the Impera version of the Nameless Ghouls look like an evil version of steampunk with a touch of the Weedians from Dopesmoker thrown in. In an interview with Revolver, Ghost mastermind Tobias Forge said the new looks were heavily inspired by the Tusken Raiders from Star Wars and were meant to look more militaristic.

“I wanted a sort of militant look, but any time you have people in uniform and in plural, you end up with a slight military vibe. But I wanted to progress that from cult members to more like an army. So you have a little bit of 30s European there, and also old air-pilot helmets.

"As a Star Wars fan, I’ve always been into the Tusken Raiders and their sort of lifeless look, so that was also part of it.”

Ghost recently hit the road with Uncle Acid & The Deadbeats and Twin Temple in Europe, where they premiered both "Call Me Little Sunshine" and "Spillways" live. Get those dates below.
