American fans of the band should note that between 2013-2015 the act went under the name Ghost B.C. due to another band claiming rights to the name in that country. The case was settled in 2015 allowing the band to resume using the Ghost name an their albums even though the "B.C" component remains part of their legal identity in that country.
