Ghost Wins Best Hard Rock Metal at Swedish Grammis

0:00On April 30th, Ghost just picked up the Best Hard Rock Metal Award at the Swedish Grammys for their album Skeleta. The ceremony hit Annexet in Stockholm on April 29th, 2026, where Tobias Forge and his songwriting team grabbed the trophy. They beat out heavy hitters like Sabaton, Sarkator, The Haunted, and The Helicopters in that category. Forge thanked everyone involved and cracked a joke about rambling through his speech without notes. Joey Tempest from Europe presented the award and posted online about the honor, plus some fun studio time with Ghost. The band racked up six nominations total, including Artist of the Year and Album of the Year. Skeleta debuted at number one on the Billboard 200 back in May 2025, selling 86,000 units first week, mostly pure. Sales with vinyl leading the charge. It marked their fifth top ten album and the first Hard Rock number one since ACDC's power up in 2020. Ghost has won that metal category four times before, and with tours wrapping North America and Europe strong, they're keeping the fire lit worldwide.
