To their defense, I think they are really self aware. The campiness and the theatrics are all intentional. It almost has a musical (the broadway kind) aspect to it. 5FDP actually believe they are hard.

Iâve seen Ghost described as âSpooky ABBAâ and somehow it kinda checks out. Not even mad, ABBA is great and so is Ghost

âBon Jovi for Goth Dadsâ is the other one I enjoy. I love Ghost, Tobias writes exactly the music he wants. Not trying to be metal, he was heavily influenced by og heavy metal (Sabbath) and the theatrics of the glam/hair metal era (Kiss). Combine the two and ya, thatâs just Ghost.
Itâs very intentionally campy and fun, like year round Halloween.
