If you are interested in these stuff, there's a fairly big "lore" in Ghost: Basically, there's this ancient satanic cult called "The Ministry", which wanted to spread the word of Satan in the most effective way possible. In the late 60's/early 70's, since Rock music was on a global hype, they decided to spread the word that way, creating a Rock band called Ghost. The lead singer would always have the title of "Papa" (which means pope). The first one was called Papa Nihil (the one we see earning the face paint and the white eye in 'Dance Macabre' music video). Following the downfall of Rock and the lack of the fast spreading technology at the time, Ghost went into the shadows and was never seen again... until 2010, when the band suddenly reappears, since modern technology has reached the point they needed with the Internet available worldwide. Now with a new lead singer: Papa Emeritus I (eldest son of Papa Nihil), they released the first album (Opus Eponymous). After that, each album would a new front man. That being said, we had Papa Emeritus II (younger brother of the previous one) on 'Infestissuman' (2013), Papa Emeritus III (youngest of the brothers) on 'Meliora' (2015) and then, all of the sudden, all 3 were mysteriously murdered, leaving the front man role open, but no more Papa Nihil sons to fill in. Because of that, they were forced to, for the first time, use someone out of the bloodline, and, as so, he couldn't be called "papa". Sister Imperator, a high rank woman in The Ministry (the woman we see initiating Nihil in 'Dance Macabre' music video), pointed Cardinal Copia for the 4th album ('Prequelle', 2018). Nihil strongly opposed the choice but ultimately had to accept it, as long as he stayed cardinal and was never elevated to the rank o papa. Papa Nihil, despite his advanced age, used to make an appearance at the concerts playing a saxophone solo in the song 'Miasma'. In one of the concerts, he dies onstage. Now, with the old leader dead, Sister Imperator promoted Cardinal Copia to papa, officially named Papa Emeritus IV and he was the front man for the 5th and current album, "Impera', from 2022. The music video for the song 'Kiss The Go Goat' (supposedly a song from the old days when the band was formed in the 60's when Nihil was still the lead singer) reveals us some details from the past. Back then, Nihil and Imperator were lovers, but as he was becoming a rockstar, he was getting too much attention from his female fans and for that reason they eventually broke up. Sister Imperator was pregnant at that time, but never told him. Now, in current days, she was actually the one who ordered all Nihil's sons to be killed, so she could point someone new to the role and that someone was gonna be Cardinal Copia, her and Nihil's bastard son. That way, she got her revenge and at the same time could put his bastard son in his place of right, as papa and leader of the band. Obviously, all of this is just fiction and was being slowly revealed through the years by all sorts of media (specially short lore videos they release on the band's KZbin channel). The lead singer behind the mask (it's always a realistic mask, never his real face), songwriter and creator of it all is Tobias Forge. All of the albums are always conceptual too. The first 3 were 3 parts of a same story. 'Opus Eponymous' was about the annunciation of the Antichrist coming to Earth. Ends with the song 'Genesis', meaning his birth. The next record, 'Infestissuman', starts telling us the Antihrist announced before is actually the son of Lucifer himself and the album describes his first contact with mankind. Next one, 'Meliora', jumps in time and is about the relationship between the Antichrist and the mankind growing stronger and stronger to the point we reach the absolute absence of God, masked by the last song of the album, 'Deus in Absentia". The next 2 had a new concepts of their own. 'Prequelle' compared faith and blind belief to a plague, dangerous and fast spreading (having the Black Plague as the conceptual background for the comparison). And, finally, 'Impera' is about the mankind's fetish for power and how frail it is. It takes empires as an example, since every single one of them throughout history has risen and fallen. It's always a cycle that never failed before and never will. So, also modern empires, no matter how unbreakable they seem to be, will eventually fall and it's just a matter of time. Well... that's only the tip of the iceberg. Give them a chance. It only gets better and better. It's really hard to think of a single one Ghost song that's not a damn earworm, but I'd suggest those below because of... being easily available with good quality of video and sound: • Spillways ( kzbin.info/www/bejne/q2qnh2SbfbajmaM ) • Rats ( kzbin.info/www/bejne/eZDMm5Ztdpqid8U ) • Mary On A Cross ( kzbin.info/www/bejne/hJ7bd6t4nqilgpY )

As a Christian i used to like this band no matter their beliefs but if only they hadnt bashed God I could have stayed but i just cant support that no matter how good it sounds

[@kxtulapsi]

@@DirtRoad83when did they bash god?

[@seandobson6221]

Papa Emeritus loves us all! Ghost is amazing. I love the beginning I think is a throwback to Rocky Horror Picture Show.

[@Aughtel]

As I've heard, thr song is inspired by the Black Death plague. When people were dying left and right, some people thought well, if this is the end might as well live it to the fullest, so yeah...a few orgies and fun times

[@marybrant9586]

So glad you're checking out Ghost. They're awesome. Keep going down the rabbit hole. I think you'll like it

[@gracemichelli.2am124]

Definitely need sunlight and vitamins for this party. Great song and reaction. ❤️

[@horrorjunkiehayne]

Love this band so much that I even got a tattoo. Older Ghost was harder (but not nearly as hard as you are thinking they would be). There is a whole theatrical storyline involved with this band that is super creative and highly entertaining. This is a rabbit hole you absolutely should fall down.

[@Aughtel]

I just watched a video not long ago, though, talking about the issues in the band. And I gotta say that's not cool bruv

[@markhunt7682]

The attempt at the kitchen broom guitar deserves a like and subscribe. Really good reaction

[@Salmacis99]

MORE GHOST!!!!

[@dcallaway1]

Ghost is the lovechild of Black Sabbath and ABBA(Total compliment), Tobias knows how to write the songs.

[@jimbigboystoys4077]

As soon as that freaky dude answered the door and said, What party?, I would’ve been like, “sorry buddy, but I think I got the wrong place”! Sorry…Ain’t going to THAT party!! HELL NO!!
