The shoddy camerawork is what really sells it to me. A lot of music videos use a VHS effect, but don't go all the way, so you end up with something that's arranged, choreographed, lit, shot and cut like a typical 2020 video with a filter slapped on. This one set and two cameras really impress me! They totally created a feel that only the music or the guitars would give it away that it isn't lost footage or something.

[@NS-kk5gr]

I agree, it's amazingly authentic, everything from the unsteady zooming to the shift from one object to the next, like the cameraman suddenly realizes there's something interesting just out of picture. The 70's purple orange colors and the pentagonal prisms from the candlelights just gives me the retrochills⚡🔥

[@dog4449]

RAHHHH(good)

[@Felix_Effex]

It's not shoddy IMO, it reminds me of late sixties. Something you'd see from "Smothers Brothers", it's got that 'recorded live in Burbank feel'. Pretty sure this video was done that way on purpose.

[@regancorbett1562]

Ghost is amazing, and they are my favorite band........but they are not metal. I am a metal-head, and ghost fits the genre in as far as the lyrics, but they are not a metal BAND. Their first album was metal, and there were a few metal tracks on Infestissumam, as well as Meloria and Prequelle. That said, they are far too diverse and complex to give a label like “metal” to. Just look at songs like “missionary man”, “if you have ghost”, “he is”, “See the light”, and “dance macabre”, just to name a few. They are all decidedly not metal, but more of an alternative rock. That’s why I tend not to say anything along the lines of “ghost is a/an _________ band”. That said, if I HAD to give them a genre-specific title, I would say that they are black heavy alternative rock.

Papa Alfons no they may both rule what is technically the "Underworld", but their mythology is completely different in the fact that we know more about Hades then we do Satan Hades is also actually a god, as he's the god of the underworld Satan is considered a heathen, and didnt start out as evil or ruling anything if I'm correct, Satan started out as an angel named Lucifer, but got sent down to Hell because he did wrong, so he was a fallen angel Hades and Satan are two completely different beings, but considered the same because they both technically rule the Underworld

[@EmilyHillgoddessofthunder64]

Anyone who says this band has weak vocals needs to get a life. Every band is different, maybe they don't want to do the traditional screaming in most doom metal bands. In fact I like how they take their music onto the melodic side. Don't like it? Don't comment, don't listen, and go listen to another band.

[@chad2776]

I think if he was screaming it would take away from the band and just turn them into a generic death/screamo/whateversubgenre band.

[@EmilyHillgoddessofthunder64]

Exactly, that's why I like how they make it more different sounding. It's creative and I like it. It's not your traditional sound but it's still good music. People just get the wrong idea because first they look at the image and think "oh this'll be brutal" but it turns out to not be and they hate because they're upset. Idiots.

[@scottishmisfit]

i like how melodic it is and that you can understand what he is saying. metal bands that have screaming singers is a turn off to listening to their music

[@EmilyHillgoddessofthunder64]

True. There are some metal bands I listen to that have more brutal vocals but not too brutal so you can't understand what they're saying when they sing. Most of the metal I listen to has melodic vocals, some of them brutal and distorted but not over the top brutal like metalcore. With Ghost I think the vocals suit the band.

[@femoman]

To all the people claiming that they came into this expecting it to be super gritty black metal with blastbeats and screaming and such, and then saying these guys aren't metal because they aren't like that... you say that as if being unexpected is a bad thing. You know what I say IS metal? Anything that is rebelllious, unusual, anything that goes against the grain. And these guys definitely do, dressing like a hybrid of Immortal and Sunn0))), but sounding unexpectedly more like Blue Oyster Cult or early Black Sabbath. They are making a name for themselves and becoming famous by being unusual and interesting and going against expectations, while dozens of black metal bands are falling by the wayside into obscurity because they are generic, run-of-the-mill, same-old-same-old corpsepainted blastbeat screaming black metal, bringing nothing new or interesting to the genre. If you want to get ahead in the metal world, you have to be different and interesting and bring something unexpected to the genre, and Ghost sure as hell does that. So if you're angry at them for not being black metal, or accusing them of being not 'true' metal because they're not what you expected... why do you want Ghost to be exactly what you expect? Why do you want them to be generic and boring?

[@DCsk8rgoelz]

not that i disagree with you but what you are describing could easily be mistaken for punk rather than metal. Thats probably what draws me to those genres so much though and one could make many arguments that they are one in the same.

[@egoatnsnakesaints]

Michael Goelz Certainly there's a good measure of punk influence in metal, just like rock, blues, jazz, etc, but bands like Ghost, Black Sabbath, Blue Oyster Cult, King Diamond, Mercyful Fate, etc, aren't punk bands, they are metal to the core. Metal dates back from the late 60s, way before Metallica, Meshuggah, or other bands that you would deem metal. Just because metal evolved agressivelly in sound that does not mean the old, original sound is not metal; maybe it's the other way around.

[@scarlettesdad]

Michael Welshim not hating on them i think there pretty cool dont know much about them but i really dont think there metal more like old school rock thats all ... and how could you compare them to Oyster or Sabbath?? lol

SATANIC GARBAGE

[@mayssm]

Did you guys actually sell your souls to the Devil? I ask because I've never heard a band where I like every single song they make. Normally you hear an album, pick the 1 or 2 good songs from it, and listen to them over and over. But I listen to every single Ghost album indefinitely.

I've known Ghost for almost 2 years and barely this September I got SO into them. it's ridiculous. I knew they were coming. I skipped other bands because "well in really want to see Ghost" lol their show was insane. I haven't stopped listening to them and I fall in love deeper and deeper.. I have a theory. Maybe Ghost actually did sell their soul to Satan to make us believe they make amazing music just so Satan can gain more followers :D

[@issiahfuentes9226]

I really miss the way ghost presented themselves around when this came out. This song is a good representation of the mysterious and trance like vibe they had with infestissiumam

[@sephikong8323]

But in contrast, I think that their best album, and by far, is Meliora. It is mind boggling that there could be so many exceptional songs in a single album, all their albums are great and have great songs but this one just buries all the others in terms of the music itself

[@alejandroberrios4756]

I completely agree with you that musically Meliora is their best album, and by far, love nearly every song on it; I think it’s their best produced album as well but I agree with the OP, Issiah, that papa 2 and his ghouls were my favorite look for the band, didn’t like Papa 3 losing the hat and not crazy about the Cardinal’s look either, if he were just some creepy old dude then it’d be fine but considering he’s supposed to be a cardinal from the same satanic clergy that brought us the papas and he’s dressing in snazzy suits, it just takes away from the cult element IMO

[@harbinger7115]

Yeah don't let the Satanic imagery thing put you off, I don't think they're actually Satanic. Ghost takes a lot of inspiration from that era of music you're talking about. Like the 70s, hard rock and acid rock, even some elements of heavy metal a la Black Sabbath.

[@krissanders987]

Hegataro umm. Ok. See, I kept thinking their changing the singer the they change the popes in stuff in Catholicism lol. But the 1st papa looked very old and bald without the makeup, but when I saw a vid say it's the second papa, he looked younger and had hair with his makeup. Then I thought, how the heck their voices sounded so so on point similar

[@Hegataro]

[The guy] that potrays Papa Emiratus I,II&III (and IV, in the next album) is actually wearing a prosthetic face. That helps with making each papa younger, but the singer stays.
