Seven of the group's eight members, known as "Nameless Ghouls", wear virtually identical, face-concealing costumes. Ghost is known for its eccentric on-stage presence. The band released their fifth studio album, Impera, in 2022. The band released their fourth studio album, Prequelle, in 2018. Its lead single, " Cirice", earned them the 2016 Grammy Award for Best Metal Performance. The band released their third studio album, Meliora, in 2015, reaching number one in Sweden, and number eight in the US. Their second album and major label debut, Infestissumam, was released in 2013, debuted at number one in Sweden, and won the Grammis Award for Best Hard Rock/Metal Album. The Grammis-nominated album was widely praised and significantly increased their popularity. The song "Ritual" was chosen by Kerrang! as one of "The 50 Most Evil Songs Ever". In 2010, they released a three-track demo followed by a 7-inch vinyl titled " Elizabeth", and later their debut full-length album Opus Eponymous.
