Ghost is such an awesome band!

[@angryrat451]

Ghost is actually really personal to me. I’ve been a dedicated fan for six years now, and Ghost gave me a reason to live. I wouldn’t be here right now if it weren’t for this band. That might sound stupid but I guess we all have things to live for. Some of us just have a lot fewer than others. I was 13 when I first decided I didn’t want to be alive anymore. I’m 17 now and I am determined to survive. Even if it’s just to listen to music. Because if I have Ghost, I have everything.

[@angryrat451]

Jeff Loucks That’s what I did. But I said “Ghost” instead because that’s the name of the band.

[@MFSMUG]

The album this song is from, Prequelle, is a thematic album, and this is the last track on the standard release. The album's theme is essentially the black plague; death. I think you can piece together the purpose of this song with that information. :)

[@proteusblack8913]

Ghost is a Swedish band, who's singer is the mastermind songwriter Tobias Forge. He writes pretty much everything in the music and has created an entire vision for the band. They are a theatrically satirical "satanic" church (not really, its a gimmick of them turning the catholic church on its head to project it as evil). Tobias dresses up as an evil pope, and every album, there is a different new "pope" that takes the last one's place (They are all Tobias though). Their names are Papa Emeritus I, Papa Emeritus II, and Papa Emeritus III, and the album this song you listened to came from, they broke away from that pattern and the current one is Cardinal Copia, who's in training to be the next Pope (still Tobias of course). The rest of the band are all anonymous members who dress up in matching black suites with silver devil heads, who are called "Nameless Ghouls". Tobias is quite a genius mastermind in that, his songwriting revolves heavily around double meaning between obscure, possible satanic topics, and personal interpretations with no necessary link to religion at all. The music style is heavily inspired by 80's metal and 80's rock. It is quite progressive in its own right. Ghost have exploded over the past 3 years, particularly starting with their 3rd album Meliora in 2015, from which they hit it big with a few different singles. KZbin Ghost reaction and you'll see lots of reactions for Cirice, for example. That was my introduction and it blew me away. They had a popular single called Square Hammer off of an EP released after Meliora. It's a popular reaction pick on youtube as well. Off their current album, Prequelle, popular reactions are to singles "Rats", "Dance Macabre", and "Faith". Ghost poses itself as a form of metal, but its progressive in just this odd way that Tobias tends to write pieces sometimes that are very very poppy, almost mockingly so. But that is all part of the big gimmick in the vision that is ghost: "Satanic Rock Pop". They got a grammy a couple years ago for best metal performance with Cirice. I would say Ghost is essential listening for what you guys react to on this channel. There's a whole canon behind the band's "church" that is cool to learn about and keep up with as they release new albums. I think you guys should become more familiar for sure, and go through the obvious essentials: Cirice (pronounced "Sur-reese"), Square Hammer, Pinnacle to the Pit, Majesty, Rats, Faith, and Dance Macabre. One of the most incredible instrumentals by them, to me, is Miasma though. They went all out on the instrumentation, and its a real joy ride to listen to!

[@terriewatson8828]

My favorite song from their new album is Witch Image.

[@jakeqwaninne8502]

i'm glad there are people see the sarcasm and witt that tobias has, i could'nt have explained the premise of this band in a better way, good job, it just points out what a joke the church is, most "satanic" bands aren't satanists, it's just an expression of the most evil mind sets that can be had, there are some who do take it a bit far (like some of the more obscure scandinavian guys), but they still don't worship anything but the eago, if there was a satan , and he wanted to influance the whole, i think he would pick someone more like beyonce, or justin timberlake, who would reach a much bigger audiance than the rather small group of fans who listen to extreme black metla, lol

[@bobrezendeassis]

Proteus, this was an explanation that really deserves the term explanation. Thanks! And Miasma is really awesome.

Ghost is one of the best live bands around... Their live shows are an incredible "Ritual" that the Albums just can not replicate fully. The lyrics really need to be appreciated and I wonder if Cirice or Mummy Dust would be a great second choice to listen to from the band even Per Aspera ad Inferi would be choice.

[@KurisuOkami]

This song is so sweet. Can't believe these guys are so good at making so many love songs to the Devil.

[@charlotteheadrick5806]

Ghost have quickly become one of my favourite bands.... this is definitely one of their "softer" songs, but so, so beautiful! If you go into them more and see any of their music videos you will see different "singers", those are all masks and are in fact the same guy underneath. He started out with Papa Emeritus I, then Papa Emeritus II, then Papa Emeritus III and now we have Cardinal Copia fronting the band.... no-one knew up until recently who was under the mask, it was all speculation, but then a law suit happened and his name was revealed. They are also one of those bands that you have to see live! There are sooooo many good songs by them but my #MetalChickPick would be for Ghost - Faith or Ghost - Mummy Dust.

[@lisamann]

I've been a Ghost fan for some time, and an admirer of Tobias Forge's songwriting and arranging skills. This song is so deep and touching, I literally have a hard time listening to it without crying. It makes me think of my mother when she was dying. The song affected me so deeply, I looked around on the internet and found dozens upon dozens of other people saying they cry every time they hear this song as well, and they share stories of their mom or dad, their brother or sister, or friend who passed away. Tobias's older brother, who he admired greatly, died the very same day he posted Ghost's first songs online. While he claims this song is part of the greater theme of the record Prequelle (about the Black Plague) but I sense this song is imbued with a lot of his own personal grief.

[@73tonym]

At last you'r reacting to #Ghost

[@aliesebonn1106]

Hey Rich, I thought you might tear-up for a moment. I cried the first time I heard it and if I ever have a wedding, this will be the song I choose to dance to.

[@Briansgate]

wow you already did Ghost, nice.

[@EchoesDaBear]

#Ghost - Miasma (fantastic instrumental - off the same album as Life Eternal - if you like 80's glam metal, this will tickle your fancy!), or Square Hammer (which dabbles in the tenets of Free Masonry, plus the riff is just killer!). Ghost is a unique entity...they have elements of 80's glam metal, 70's metal (ie. Blue Oyster Cult), early stuff almost gothic metal elements (but never the 'growl' that some 'death' metal bands do...his voice is too good for that!) Honestly, you should check out the entire album Prequelle - it's a thematic/concept type album, dealing with the plague/black death, with songs (such as this) dealing with losing a loved one to that gruesome epidemic, and the aftermath. I have this vinyl spinning quite regularly in my house, and it's AWESOME!! You will not be disappointed!!

[@charlessteibe3359]

Square Hammer really doesn't debble into Free Masonry. "Are yoi on the level" and "Are you on the square" are Free Masonry terms, but that's about as much as the song has to do with Free Masonry.

[@Carvetii]

[@MissmammothMurder]

frank4vt reason why I requested them to react to Ghost "beautiful" side first is we need to lure them to the front door and BAM!!! Year Zero!!!

[@starburstppl]

I love Ghost and was very curious about the meaning of this song, and found this information. “Life Eternal” according to Tobias Forge in an interview with Revolver Magazine about mortality and immortality, what’s the better way to live? As he said: "Let’s say you were given the opportunity to circumvent the natural order of things, and given carte blanche to live forever. Would you want to do that? Is that something you would be willing to commit to?" He also said, "friendships and love affairs end. Some don’t, and those are the ones that fuck with you. I can be very cynical when it comes to stuff like that even though I’m married, and I have a very, very happy relationship. Before I met her, I wouldn’t want to commit to anything. All I saw was marriages falling apart and I come from a broken home. I didn’t believe in it." "So you sometimes have to take everything with a wee bit of salt. Even death - you think that to experience the death of someone close would be something you can’t imagine, and when it happens, it absolutely sucks. But then years later it feels like yeah, you went through that."

[@MrTech226]

Ghost is band from Sweden. Founder, Tobias Forge started this band kinda like a protest to organized religion such as mainly Catholics. In early setup of Ghost, Tobias dressed like the "Pope". His moniker was Papa - Anti Pope. Before both of you called Ghost....Satanists, Ghost mainly mocking Catholics. Now, Tobias with new members as "Ghouls", his moniker is Cardinal Copia supporting Ghost's new album, Prequelle. Prequelle is mostly about during Medieval Times when Black Death occurred, song, Rats is about...…...

[@Ninkyo893]

Great to see you guys react to Ghost! They are a very polarizing band, with many people seemingly divided by their sound and lyrics, much of which deals with satanic material. But it's mostly tongue in cheek, and their songs are extremely catchy and unique.

[@wp_merciless]

I can barely listen to this song anymore without almost breaking into tears now that I know why Tobias Forge wrote it. if you don't know Life Eternal is an homage to his brother Sebastian who had passed away before ghost gained a ton of traction. Life Eternal is Tobias' way of telling Sebastian that he made it and I cant help but have tears

[@anthonylong9067]

Check out their older stuff from their first album “Opus Eponymous”. I recommend starting with “Ritual”. It’s got a very good riffs worth headbanging to. The band is originally from Sweden with their frontman being Tobias Forge who dresses as a satanic clergyman. In the first three albums, Opus Eponymous, Infestissumam, and Meliora, he is a pope. Papa Emeritus I, II, and III. One in each album. The album this song is in, prequelle, he is Cardinal Copia.

I instantly fell in love with their sound and got their first 2 albums. Have been a devout fan since then. #Metalchickpick #PapaIIForever
