The meaning of "unhallowed" for them actually ISN'T a mistake. It DOES mean that Satan IS everyone else. He is not set apart from the people, he IS the people. That all people are one. Listen to "He Is" and you'll understand better that this is really what they meant.
@TraphouseSlutbunny6 жыл бұрын
Well, I don't think it's that obvious if you aren't familiar with the wordplay that Ghost and LaVeyan Satanists often use. Also, I think that Vin & Sori are both incredibly insightful but this one aspect eluded them because the structure of the song in that way seemed like it was simply trying to do the opposite of the word "hallowed" by using "unhallowed." That IS what they were doing, but they were using that "set apart" meaning to indicate that Satan is the god of the people, not someone who sets himself above all others like the Christian god. Vin & Sori are both incredibly intelligent and I enjoy their analyses.
@VinAndSori6 жыл бұрын
Well shit, if that’s what they meant then it’s pure genius, I’m gonna keep that in mind when listening to “he is” I have to say though, that definition doesn’t match the song. Satan in this song isn’t “one of the people” he’s a divine being who folk are sacrificing to. What other clues in the song lead to that interpretation ?
@TraphouseSlutbunny6 жыл бұрын
Some other clues in the lyrics are things like "Our fallen angel vexed, which, while ostensibly meaning "frustrated or annoyed" in Middle English means "disturbed or shaken" and juxtaposes in that verse with pray for ALL to die, indicating a kinship between the fall and the death of all. Then there is also the use of the word "fiend" which can mean both "demon" and "wicked person." This juxtaposition of holy/unholy is done throughout the song so that wherever they say "unholy" that is the meaning- that the Fallen One, disturbed and cast out, is one of the people just like those who follow him and the procreation of the unholy bastard is not simply the Antichrist but the unification of man and the fallen, who are joined in death and oneness by the Fall.
@TraphouseSlutbunny6 жыл бұрын
I might also add that the sacrifices aren't necessarily sacrifices but humans who have died, ie all humans and the juxtaposition of dead human sacrifices and the words "altar bed" use that death and birth metaphor to indicate an eternal cycle of both birth and death, in this case where the "unholy bastard" is created through that cycle of death and procreation.

We started off doing this with the intention of becoming just a small horror rock band. It was supposed to be entertaining. The more puritan sort of metal people think that we are too funny or we're too this or that. We want people to be happy. We represent humor and happiness. It's quite commonly known that laughter, satire, humor, at least of a Medieval point of view, it was very much regarded as a craft of the devil."

Ghost is not a satanic band. They are a satirical band. They use a mock-heroic style as a lens to magnify and expose corruption in (mainly) organized religion. They also focus on things such as greed, consumerism, ambition, vanity and lust in their parody. Their use catchy music and memorable hooks further serves to enhance the satire. The use of satanic imagery as a backdrop for their storytelling is effective because it's instantly recognizable. The fact that edgy fan boys drink up the "hell satan" bit is part of what makes them amusing. -Ghost fan

Nearly 20 year Satanist (LaVeyan/Atheistic) here... First off, I love metal and I LOVE Ghost!!! Black Metal, not a fan. I do like Deicide, but Emperor and stuff, mnnnnn not so much. Anyway, my thoughts on the unhallowed debate. I think you're both right. Though it may not be the true origin of the word, unhallowed is listed in the dictionary as meaning wicked, unholy or sinful and dates back as far as the 1500's. So based on common usage, what's implied is correct, I think...... However, Tobias Forge is a pretty creative lyricist and pretty knowledgeable when it comes to using double meanings and clever wording. That being said, one of the aspects of Satanism is pointing out that us as humans aren't really all that special. The Satanic bible says we're just another animal, no better, often worse than those who walk on all fours..... So it could be possible (though I doubt it) that he knows the true origin of hallowed and does literally mean "not special" by saying unhallowed......... At the end of the day, Ghost is a band who is mostly about the theatrics and the music and just uses Satanism as the theme. Are they Satanic? Probably not.... Or if they are I'd bet they're LaVeyan or Atheistic...

LaVeyan Satanism isn't the true Satanism that everyone thinks. Theistic Satanists don't consider them part of their community just because of the difference in beliefs. I'm not bashing on you @MrOatmeal5150 so please don't think i am. I'm simply explaining the difference. I was a Theistic Satanists years ago and the communities are different. Ghost (B.C. or whatever you want to call them) are not a theistic band. They are actually closer to LaVeyan Satanism which uses Satan as a figurehead, a lot like the Japanese used Emperors. No true theistic link to the religion. That's why Anton LaVey wrote his own bible for his religion. Satan and/or his "disciples" didn't really influence his ideology (as i understand, correct me if i'm wrong). it's definitely an interesting religion once you read into the theistic side. Prayers aren't really your conventional prayers that Judeo-Christian religions portray. They're more statements of what you want, more like pleas, i guess you could say.

The whole thing is a story with characters that he plays. He envisions ghost not as just a band, but as a stage drama. Also, most of the "black metal" community hates Ghost. They feel like ghost is mocking "real" black metal bands, because they aren't serious.

Where has he said that? From what I read he certainly didn't believe in a higher power when growing up - being more of a rebel against religion - and now as an adult he takes a more agnostic stance. He said in interviews that he regards religion to be "a BIG problem. It's a very contemporary problem. It's a very, very big danger". I can't find him saying he believes in a higher power - only opening up to the possibility of it.

It's worth understanding that Ghost aren't satanists. Their satan-worship content is entirely tongue in cheek. The point of it is to look ridiculous to christians. It INTENTIONALLY misuses stuff to draw that criticism in order to suggest that they look as ridiculous. Moreover, any band that writes a song about achieving a female orgasm in an overtly ritualistic/convoluted manner, isn't trying to be taken seriously. Also it would suggesting that they might to intentionally suggest that he isn't special at all, nor any other. Keep it up, you two ;)

Sorry for the size of this post, I have always had a hard time being short with my posts. XD I don't know how much this might make a difference for you with the whole part about holy and unholy, and Ghosts usage of them. But Ghost is a Swedish band, and as such they, and me, have grown up not only with the English words for "Holy" and "Unholy" and their general agreed upon meaning in todays world (most Swedish kids start learning English in school around the age of 8-9), but also of course the Swedish words for this as well. Those words being "Helig" and "Ohelig" respectively (both have, as far as I know, always been connected to religion). And translated from Swedish Helig and Ohelig will mainly become Holy and Unholy, and the same if you reverse the translation from English to Swedish. The word "Helig" comes from Old Swedish words (between early 13th to early 16th century, so after Sweden had been Christianized), which basically means things like: inviolable, sacrosanct, protected, "not allowed to be harmed", and "which is considered to be in close connection to the divine, and as such should be treated with religious reverence/veneration". And this is about all things both abstract and concrete. "Ohelig" as such, is probably as old, and is essentually the opposit in a lot of ways, but also includes things like "profane" with all of it's meanings, and "sinful" (even though this does have it's own word in Swedish as well), and maybe a few more things. But again, always a word which has been seen as directly connected to, and for the most part the opposit of, Helig. Also, while the origins of the word Holy is as you say it is, and what that would mean for the word "unholy" when used... that is just not the way most of the english speaking world, including native english speakers, and religious people, use those words anymore. Words and languages evolve, and will very often start to mean something slightly, or completely, different. And that is something which has happend to the word Holy, and the now connected word of Unholy. Does not mean we should stop taking it into account of course, the origins of the word... but does also mean that you will need to remember that things have changed since then.

Tonight we're summoned for a divine cause Remembrance - No But for their future loss This chapel of ritual Smells of dead human sacrifices From the altar... Beduins and nomads Carried through the times Through pestilences and famines These ancient scrolls of rhymes "Our fallen angel vexed Was banished from the sky Recite now from the text Pray for ALL to die" This chapel of ritual Smells of dead human sacrifices From the altar bed On this night of ritual Invoking our master To procreate the unholy bastard "Our father Who art in hell Unhallowed be thy name Cursed be the sons and daughters Of thine Nemesis Whom are to blame Thy kingdom come nemA" Tonight we summoned for His unholy fiend Now celebrate The End This chapel of ritual Smells of dead human sacrifices From the altar bed On this night of ritual Invoking our master To procreate the unholy bastard

Love some Ghost ;) How I took 'unhallowed' within the lyrics as meaning 'the exact opposite'' of hallowed.. hallowed generally referring to 'holy' or 'sacred'.. so this would mean 'unholy' or 'desecrated'. The dictionary-based meaning is not as important as the implied imagery. I am probably wrong in my interpretation.. but that is just me. You should definitely check out King Diamond if you want to check out a band that has a 'truly' Satanist lead singer. Peace

You nailed it this song is about the conception of the Anti-Christ. the over-arching theme of Opus Eponymous is the impending coming of the Anti-Christ, and their follow up, Infestissumam is about the presence of the Anti-Christ on Earth. Ghost is part theatrical and part tongue in cheek.

Hey i like your videos they tend to be pretty interesting but I have one small criticism, some times you can be pretty "elitist" (might not be the correct word, English isn't my first language) when you talk about the meaning of the word unhallowed you simply dismiss the author of the song as being un-informed about how to use this word. Consider the upside-down cross. originally this is the Cross of Saint Peter. It is believed that Peter requested this form of crucifixion as he felt he was unworthy to be crucified in the same manner that Jesus died. As such, some Catholics use this cross as a symbol of humility and unworthiness in comparison to Jesus. Yet when you see someone walking around with an upside down cross, do you think of catholic humility or black metal? Surely it depends on the context. My point is words and symbols change meaning over time and you should always view it in context and try to find the "spirit" or meaning of a song instead of dismissing it as un-informed. Anyway, Ghost to me is more like theatrical shock rock than black metal, great live band too. I saw Ghosts first live performaces and it was magical. Noone knew who these guys were, were they actual Satanists? Where were they from? is it the same people all the time? There were rumours that they were the front of a Satanist organization who used pop tunes and 70's rock so those who didn't like black metal were also snared by the devils charms, stuff like that. By now it's become clear that they are just a band and the lyrics are more influenced by horror movies than Satanism. If you want some music in sort of the same style musically I'd reccomend: Come, Reap by The Devils Blood or if you want black metal with real theistic satanism: Waters of Ain by Watain.

Nergal actually uses the phrase “unhallowed be thy name” in the song “Havohej Pantocrator”. I agree with Rae Gonzalez below that the inversion of “hallowed” means not set apart, in an ontological sense, but wholly within-the spirit of the world itself-as opposed to a transcendent reality which is metaphysically distinct from all things which are not It.

Because you were hung up on the unhallowed thing: Borrowing from your explanation, because I didn't know the etymology of holy, that's being used towards the entity's name, not itself. One could also interpret that as, 'let its name be widely known/commonplace', the use of hallow in reverse being more wordplay than evocative of meaning, and not a bad thing from the character's perspective (either Papa Emeritus or whoever is supposed to have written this). This is to oppose Vin's argument against the use of the word when she says, 'wouldn't they wish theirs to be special?'. All that said, I'm more inclined to apply Occam's razor and consider it a goof, but I've also seen instances of blatant wordplay present in other of their lyrics (e.g. 'bewitch you' in Dance Macabre). Boy, how did Sori go from 'bedouins and nomads carried through the time, through pestilences and famines, these sacred scrolls of rhyme' to 'idiot bronze age people who wrote the old testament'? Talk about a straw man! When did 'bedouin' or 'nomad' become pejoratives? The same level of scrutiny that you guys employed for unhallowed could have been applied there; bedouin means desert dweller. I honestly only read that as, 'these ancient people went through hardships and still safe kept these scrolls', but that's just me. The 'pray for all to die' thing, I read that as 'pray for all the enemies to die'. Now, I have a question: Do you believe impossible that something like this is just theatrics? I have no means to know, but after listening to a couple of his interviews, he didn't come across as preachy of eternal damnation or anything of the sort. I think he found a clever way to tap into people's imaginary from different angles: mythology with the Christian imagery, counter-culture with turning that in reverse, bucket loads of pop culture with the musical influences (you even see Michael Jackson in their latest stuff). Regardless, fair analysis. It was a tad skewed for me at points, but good overall.

if you follow the evolution of ghost albums it is a almost parody of satanic culture comparing it to catholic culture the early albums are very dark and unforgiving, the way they write there is no forgiveness and are very forward with the punishment and ritual, much like the old testament where god was much more unforgiving and even had animal sacrifice rituals to forgive sins. as time went on sheer brutality and fear do not work in getting people to follow so you move into more cheerful loving iterations(new testament), you can be forgiven for sins and god will still love you. Now ghost is putting out music with more up beat cheery lyrics even though some are word play on darker subjects ie: the new song dance macabre has a line that reads i want to bewitch you all night but when sung sounds like i want to be with you all night, but that's just clever writing imo. if you take anything from ghost id suggest it not be the satanic lyrics rather the contrast being put forward and how much perspective rules what people believe to be black and white, good vs evil. i truly believe this band just is pushing for people to think and make decisions even if its not what everyone else believes. they have stated before each member of the band believes in spirituality and a god of some sort and they just like looking at it from a different angle.

In catholicism, there's a prayer called "Our Father" that goes "Our father (God), who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name...." and goes on, so they turned into its opposite "Our Father (Satan), who art in hell, unhallowed by thy name..."
