Frōzen Ghōst was a Canadian rock band that formed in 1985 by Arnold Lanni and Wolf Hassel who were previously with the band Sheriff. The band recieved a Juno Award for "Most Promising Group of the Year in 1987.

"Should I See", an anti-censorship song, became a minor hit in the United States, reaching 69th position on Billboard's Hot 100 singles in 1987. The video for that song was nominated for "Best Video of the Year" at the 1987 Juno Awards (Glass Tiger's "Someday" won).

On their final album, "Shake Your Spirit" there were two official additions to the band. John Bouvette, who was on drums and percussion, and Phil X who did some vocals, and played the guitar. Phil X was also credited on the album "Nice Place To Visit" for being a guitarist, but was not considered an official band member until the final album was released.

For unknown reasons, on Frōzen Ghōst's second album their name changed from Frōzen Ghōst to Frozen Ghost. Although on the third album the artist name returned to its original spelling of Frōzen Ghōst.

Frōzen Ghōst disbanded in 1993, following their final album Shake Your Spirit. Lanni would go on to become a successful producer for acts such as Our Lady Peace.
