He believes the band can keep going after their identities are known, while remaining anonymous during performances, as long as it doesn't spoil things for their fans.

His comments come after Behemoth frontman Nergal appeared to have leaked the identity of his Ghost counterpart Papa Emeritus II. The Ghoul tells Ghost Coloumbia: "I'm very comfortable with the idea of not being anonymous - because in many ways we're not any more. Every show there's 50 people outside our bus; we do informal meet-and-greets all the time because we have to."

Citing the "laws of gravity" pulling the band towards their unmasking he adds: "We can't play an enclosed arena where we can shy away from everybody, just hovering in a helicopter."
