Unfortunately the good folks at *BMG Rights Management (US), LLC* have decided to fraudulently claim my video as a "cover" of a Ghost song, despite 1) the audio in the claimed portion being that of a live performance by the actual artist, and 2) my video as a whole falling squarely within the realm of fair use exemption. As of now I am "sharing" my revenue with the company, despite them not deserving a red cent from my hard work. And since I do not want to risk a copyright strike on my channel by appealing their rejection of my dispute, if you liked the video and really want to support me, you can throw a little something my way at this link: www.buymeacoffee.com/nickcarlsonpress Thank you for your support.

I love that he titled an instrumental "Miasma" (bed smells or air) which is what medieval people thought caused disease. Like the plague. That's why plague doctors wore those crazy beaked masks. The nose piece was stuffed with sweet smelling herbs :) It was their version of PPE.

Blue oyster cult is definitely one of Tobias's main influences for Ghost. Their earlier stuff also reminds me of Sisters of mercy.

Loved this perspective!! Especially about the narrators in each half of the album because the narrative arc for me always makes me think of the Cardinal being the narrator - coming into the power of his postition (he's the plague bringing rat, got the white horse and all); reveling in it while his parishoners are dying of the plague (Faith) and then coming to witness the devastation by Life Eternal, almost as a sole survivor. Ultimately, there is such an amazing, tasty narrative arc in the album that I might never get sick of!

This is so cool! I’m currently writing an essay about IMPERA’s thematics with the rise and fall of empires, of which I hope to turn into a video essay in the future. This in-depth look at Prequelle gives me a new love for the album and the story writing TF continues to do within his works. This was so so awesome, love it!

Prequelle is in my top four favourite albums along side Slipknot’s We Are Not Your Kind and Startset’s Vessels and Horizons. This video broke down Prequelle perfectly and it actually helped me understand Prequelle a lot more from a narrative perspective especially on Witch Image which is my favourite Ghost song.

Helvetesfonster is so underrated imo. The emotions it conveys are so raw and tangible. Tobias mentioned in some interview the album was about life, about survival, and Helvetesfonster describes the feelings of survivors just perfectly. First is shock, bargaining, disbelief; then it's horror and disgust, that makes you run, hide, and push what you've seen out of your memory; and the last is acceptance, seeing the carnage for what it is, with no emotion left to feel, just numbness... The song is so terrifying it's beautiful

I have a lot of love for Rats too. I got into Ghost during the pandemic. I was laid off of work and shut in with my roommate who had Covid. I was trying to get into newer bands and saw a lot of good buzz for Ghost. Rats was a terrific song and was my pandemic theme song. That he wrote years earlier is absolutely prophetic. Probably directed at the MAGA mind virus who would guess he would usher in an actual plague.

I've been looking forward to this video, I'm still relatively new to Ghost's lore but what I learned tonight is very fascinating. I've mainly just been listening to any song by them and exploring them individually rather than a collective whole. Now I'm really curious to see if there are any other stories that I've missed out on. Also I think you reviewing albums would be very cool to watch/listen I personally think that would be a welcome edition to the channel.

all hail, Satan! (Joking within the theme of the band, of course.) i have been a part of the Ghost fandom ever since i was aware of Ghost's style of music, i love the inspirations of classic Rock and Metal woven in with music from Pianos, Harpsicords and Organs, among other instruments. i love the adherence to the gimmick, and the lengths that Tobias Forge goes in making his Papa characters as lively and expressive as they can be, which make live shows all the more worthwhile. most of all i just love the dark themes of the songs mixed with the often happy melodies, making a fun experience out of what can be considered as the world ending, at least within Ghost's musical storytelling.

Yet despite promises of afterlife, heaven, etc., Peter believed in death - enough to deny JC 3x to save himself. Great lesson that I hadn't thought about

Longtime GHOST Fan who enjoys the B.C. Era with Pope Emeritus I and II as being such terrifyingly fun... Tobias Forge grew up with Kiss and Comic Books and Horror Movies and Catholicism and Christianity so, GHOST is an extension of that... A Serial Comic Book where characters live and die and new Pope's and Cardinals front a more sophisticated Kiss show.and message... Now that Cardi didn't die in the movie he is Papa Emeritus as new Pope will reign hopefully, one that is a living personification of terror... No dancing around just back to Satan's Mass... Although, 'Foreign Land' is quite easy to dance too... LOL
