Ghost - Death Knell (OFFICIAL)

[@Allan_Melon]

Out of all the songs from Ghost, I always come back to this one, its just so dark and simple, love this era of ghost

[@daniel_thefuture8568]

I love the dark of the sounds

[@99proff]

And plain beautiful. I had overlooked it and now I think it's just perfect.

[@TySenior]

It’s great! I also love Cirice (can you hear the rumble)

[@SiegeHearts]

The bassline is so simple, but the tone and the small moments that it shines on its own are amazing.

[@HollowedCrow]

SiegeHeart yes

[@manchesterexplorer8519]

Exactly , no need for complicated riffs and 2 minute guitar solos sometimes simplicity is king. Reminds me of black sabbath's first album , 4 piece drum set and great simple riffs

[@raegandalbo9731]

70s metal berr berr dang

[@metalbladerecords]

This band is on Rise Above Records out of the UK, and if you haven't noticed, we've been putting out Rise Above's albums in North America for quite a while now. Very different and killer bands!

I loved the first and last presentations of ghost

[@the_drag_dasher5148]

Shit band, guitarist is play one chord the whole time and drum beat is something a beginner would find easy.

[@guitarstevecc]

Any fans of 70s rock/metal should dig this band. I must say the more I listen to it, the more I love it. This album does have balls, you are just used to the over produced metalcore albums that are made. I do love well-produced albums as well, but there is something more personal about analog and old school recordings. Something like this needs to be recorded like this. And the king diamond keys at the end make me so happy.

[@ghoulbeans1997]

I love how during the second verse all the instruments go quieter. Much cool

[@anthonycastaneda3090]

The devil is in the details....;)

[@bitffald]

Their proto doom elements are strong in this track.

[@relapserecords]

This band fucking rules, keep up the great work Rise Above / Metal Blade!

[@ambientalholocaust]

The influence of Black Sabbath and Mercyfull Fate is very clear. Also from Candlemass, I could say. Awsome work from this Swedish Band! Even remind me The Doors in some parts...

[@kgib4214]

In some of the later albums you can hear Blue Oyster Cult and a tad bit of Pink Floyd inspiration, but yes absolutely 100% Mercyful Fate and Sabbath

[@STOP_RIGHT_THERE_CRIMINAL_SCUM]

wow you're right, he sounds like king diamonds good voice

[@TySenior]

Ghost combines Sabbath and Abba with such ease. It’s great

Lyrics "Death Knell" Say, can you see the cross? Inverted solemnly A symbol for the goat Of a thousand young Six, six, six Evoke the king of hell Strike the death knell Death knell Say, can you hear the chimes? Tolls now for the end Bells call out our doom As victor reaches womb Sex, sex, sex Receive the beast of evil Of evil... Can you say his name? Carrier of the light Legions of his seed A child you a spouse will feed S-A-T-A-N Under spell of death knell Death knell

[@kenzieuchiha1191]

They're actually saying sagnen, not Satan. Sagnen is a Swedish noun for a folktale.

[@Nope2022HugeTheWarningFan]

@@kenzieuchiha1191 I read this somewhere, but the other claimed it means to bleed. In the lyric sheet with the CD, is reads SATAN, but lyrics sheets have been known to be wrong before...

[@nirvanaryder9869]

@@Nope2022HugeTheWarningFan yeah but S-A-T-A-N get along with the previous verse "can you say his name ?". I am confused also. it was a mistake when they recorded ?

[@cosmicrab4136]

I think Ghost does Lovecraftian themes really well. They don't over do it -- keeping it simple and open to interpretation is the way to go with Lovecraftian horror. The Goat of a Thousand Young, Shub Niggurath. This is one of H. P. Lovecraft's many cosmic deities of his own Cthulhu Mythos. Ghost should definitely invest in other Lovecraftian ideas, I'd love to see something on Nyarlethotep!

[@harbinger7115]

I hope they do at least one song with a Lovecaft themed thing on this upcoming album.

[@sylph8005]

I mean, goats are common Satanic imagery, and Lovecraft likely used that as his inspiration for Shub Niggurath, not the other way round. You do have a point though.

[@svetoslavtanchev]

Come to think of it, the lyrics of "Idolatrine" summarize Nyarlathotep pretty well.

[@STOP_RIGHT_THERE_CRIMINAL_SCUM]

thanks for that, I didn't even know

[@Aaronram78]

Fucking love this track. The whole album is this good but for some reason i love Death Knell the best. Sounds like something you'd hear at the end credits of an 80's horror movie.

[@WamblyHades]

4:04 - 4:37 LOVE THIS PART

[@deadsiocled6940]

Sounds like a dark ritual in the tomb

[@EricMohawk182]

[@Smartass_Jedi]

These guys have a lot of potential. Hope they make it someday

[@STOP_RIGHT_THERE_CRIMINAL_SCUM]

they've more than made it, come out from under the rock

[@wrxhex]

2:22 is my absolute FAV but also the part after that when he says "the light" sounds sooooo fucking sick. His vocals in that part remind me of AiC.

[@TwiiSteDBeAsT]

These guys are awesome live. If you haven't seen them then definitely go. Saw them last night and they blew my mind.

[@jannewton5951]

I first saw them in 2013 in Birmingham UK as a support band, just followed them ever since...awesome!

[@MusiCaninesTheMusicalDogs]

With the help of my weird siblings, I recorded a cover of this song to pay homage to Ghost, death, satan, and all this stuff. It ended up being very, very awkward. I guess that's what happens when we play with these oh, so super serious things, eh?! If you wanna check it, and other Ghost songs covered, you can visit my channel!

any true metalhead or real lover of rock will love this band, they are tipping their hats to the origins of metal, if you are 14yrs old and listen to five finger death punch you will not dig this, but respect the roots of the artform

[@LagginPotato]

The main riff kind sounds like the Black Sabbath "Black Sabbath" song and the part at 2:22 sounds like Slayer

[@OmniTron1000]

...I get what you're saying with the bit of slayer, but...I'm not hearing the black sabbath riff. It's a similar mood, sure. But, I'm not hearing it.

[@deadstar44]

Satanic tritone (Three whole tones interval) will do that for you.

PEOPLE. STOP HATING!!! This top quality musicianship and songwriting, so if your one of those who ears and minds can't perceive Heavy Metal for the talented works of art for which it is then stop listening to the songs and quit imputing your ignorant putdowns. What sucks and sounds like shit to one might sound the exact opposite for another. All forms of Metal especially Death, Black, and Thrash get criticized constantly for its extremity for when its the whole purpose. Spiritual art is music
