I went to my first Ghost ritual last week. Can confirm, was screaming the entire time 🤣. This song is epic live. Screaming “Hail Satan” when you were raised in a stifling evangelical home is SUPER cathartic. 😜

[@cthree7792]

I don't think they mispronounced Belial, the way it is pronounced in this song is how I would guess it would sound in Latin or Hebrew. The fact that they also use "Satanas" instead of satan seems to support this.

[@AnyaSocadora]

É isso mesmo, meu idioma é derivado do latim e é assim mesmo que deve ser a pronúncia

[@djmelotte8220]

This song just simply needs to be seen performed live…..on its own it’s fine especially Archangelooooooooo!!!! 😂 But yes wonderful live ❤😂

[@ericvanschaick5252]

So damn good live. Especially when the Pyro kicks in

[@zephyr835]

I think this song hits substantially harder live, and is helped by the production. And yeah, the crowd response is pretty much what you're expecting.

[@DaP84]

Yeah, and the first 2 albums has a thin production sound in general

[@zephyr835]

@@DaP84 By production, I meant the stage show.

[@Tbone.357]

I think you sell Ghost fans short... I think they're very educated on the lyrics.

[@raniwasacyborg]

Honestly, it's hard to be a fan and not find yourself getting into both the band's own lore and wider demonology!

[@genekent2391]

Yes, Behemoth is a creature from the Old Testament, but in Hebrew mythology, it was basically a generic name for any big, powerful demon. The song itself, is about the coming of the Antichrist. It, and the chants in particular, represent a ritual bringing about his coming. It is supposed to help you visualize the Satanic Church (in Tobias Forge's eyes) in an actual ritual worshipping him and his arrival.

[@josephjones6520]

This song does indeed get a lot of crowd participation. I was chanting along quite happily, too.

[@eskopikataival430]

Ghost started to record this (album) in Nashville. Guess what, they did not get any choir from there to chant those demon names and had to record the choir parts in California.

[@alex.hettel.artwork]

They are pronouncing Belial correctly. You say the english version, that's it.

[@jeremycox9194]

I’ve been to 2 rituals. Can confirm. We lose our ever loving minds when this song starts. 🤘🤘🤘

[@unholy_guacamole]

Saw this song now 7 times live and it gives me always goosebumps like hell! Even if its not my most fav song from ghost,it has that special touch,live. It was also the song that got me into ghost when it came out 😊

[@jobradley9525]

It's not my favourite Ghost song, but live it's incredible and really stood out for me especially with all the pyrotechnics

[@TommenLM]

enjoy the show David, they are always amazing live!

[@Outlawtorn3711]

Absolution is a good Ghost tune as well. They have so many fun songs

[@katiehambrick3966]

This is my groups favorite song to hear live! Makes us go feral. Saw them for the 4th & 5th time this summer, it was insane! Love Ghost

[@thomasc2680]

Ahhh! So happy for ya! A good song finally

[@Herrakeke]

Tobias is absolutely brilliant!! Remember that this band is only a one man project, he writes and makes these songs all be himself! Everybody else in the band is paid musician… tobias is one of the greatest song writers i know!!

[@Randomperson19001]

That’s not entirely true. There has been several big producers and songwriters involved in especially the later albums.

[@ghuleh969]

​@@Randomperson19001yeah but not the ghouls they aren't a band per say, Tobias works with different producers and songwriters, finishes the album then the ghouls learn the songs to play them live.

[@Randomperson19001]

@@ghuleh969 of course I know that. I was only talking about the ”making and writing songs himself” part.

[@Herrakeke]

@@Randomperson19001 thanks for correcting me

[@brianbutzen6703]

I just saw them for the first time in August. It was truly an amazing show. Amon Amarth was quite good as an opener as well, so you may want to familiarize yourself some with them as well if you aren't already.

[@mellanapa]

There is no mispronounced words in Latin here. Belial, Behemoth, Beelzebub, Asmodeus, Satanas and Lucifer are all names of Christianitys imaginary foes, and Tobias Forge is way to much aware AND on a mission with this project of his to anglofy the names just to please the masses. I'm not sure I agree with your assumption that most of their fans are unaware of wtf they're singing along with/to. As a mom to a teenager who found Ghost when they (my child, not ghost...) were 13 years old, turning 16 this November, I couldn't have asked for a better contemporary band to start their musical journey with! It's like kicking in open doors to get free for grabs-opportunities to discuss music; the way it developes through time and space; the impact music have on society, both right now and throughout the history of man. Plus I've gotten the chance to discuss what organized religion does to us, the masses, with my child. How many of us parents have had that luxury, hm? Doesn't matter what religion, but some of them are very much guilty to why there's still such a concept as what we as a western society call "third world countries"... That's what colonialism is all about, and the way Ghost almost forces their hard-core fans to read up on what we've done to the rest of the world in the name of some long time dead guy, just by chanting the names of frog princes and what not, haha! 😹 But ofc there's plenty of brain dead people on any given Ghost gig who would chant along to pretty much anything their parents doesn't agree with just to annoy their mom and dad or whomever they're trying to revolt against. But since I've got the rare opportunity to actually listen to kids discussing Ghost, and what their lyrics might be about... In all honesty it gives me at least some hope for the future. Because don't forget that Tobias Forge isn't you're average "Meh, I feel stuff...meh"-Angry White Guy. He's a heterosexual, married, ordinary looking middle aged dad from Sweden. With brains and a need to play dress up while making people chant names for Christian make believe-foes. In Latin. While performing awesome music and putting on a kick ass-show. Ha! 😹 Much love From STHLM, Sweden

[@DaP84]

Funny you mention "subdivision", one of Tobias' previous bands is Subvision! And btw, most likely not mispronunciations of the names. I think they pronounce it in italian or maybe latin (they use such lines in a couple songs), which ties in with the band lore, an inverse of Catholic Church with anti-popes.

[@scottvanaken929]

Seven demon kings: Lucifer: Pride. Mammon: Greed. Asmodeus: Lust. Leviathan: Envy. Beelzebub: Gluttony. Satan: Wrath. Belphegor: Sloth.

[@DM-rc4yu]

The ending is great, adds some mystery to it when you try to hear what's being whispered.

[@marybrant9586]

They do play this live. I was at the Chicago show on 8/15 this year. And on all consecutive shows....

[@rdh1130]

Yay

[@Roipav]

Yeah, this is a banger live. Always has been.

[@shawnfate2656]

love this one.

[@spike11313]

Just went and saw them Saturday great show also the opener band is amazing

[@PatrickRU1992]

most impressive is your knowledge of demons. I had to look them all up!

[@genekent2391]

I had 2 tickets to go see them in Jacksonville on August 30, and Hurricane Idalia had something to say about it. Regrettably, I had to listen to her.

[@derrickparran]

The words are sung right. Humility

[@fredriknilsson6042]

I have only seen Ghost live once but man that was a great experience. They sound heavier live and this is way better live in my opinion

[@MetalFoot80]

Best Ghost song

[@animalsoul444]

Its one of the best Live Songs from Ghost. When the whole Place shouts Satan.... sadly the nowadys to less or none Fireworks, back then the had a huge fire Show with this song also everytime You should also check the Music Video Private..

[@kevin933]

Very curious to hear your opinion on Ghost- Mary on a cross (studio version) I'm a pretty big Ghost enjoyer, and Year Zero is one of my least fav tbh (Except the verse's which kick ass, but I don't care for the chorus)), but Ghost has a TON of really really good tracks. Some recs for you to see their wide range of styles: Ritual Zombie Queen He Is Pro Memoria Darkness At The Heart Of My Love One from each album. (They also have a cover of Iron Maiden - Phantom Of The Opera released quite recently if you're in to that)

[@ElyonDominus]

That's crazy. An ex girlfriend introduced me to Ghost and I straight up told her the opposite; I could listen to the choir part(s) for the duration of the song and the rest could be removed and I'd be fine. Of course, I actually really enjoy this full song. Saw it live and it was one of the hypest the crowd got and we/they were into the setlist.

[@kevin933]

@@ElyonDominus I imagine it would be good live, yeah. Hearing Tobias belt out ''Archangelo'' and ''Zero'' would be worth it.

[@Nihilistic_Bat]

Ghost Live shows are amazing! We do know what is being said! :D

[@littleartcrafting]

When listening, there was a taste of the Enigma group, to which they added a pinch of heaviness and Gothic

[@hardcorechristopher9174]

Great

[@benjamindavis4974]

Belial, Behemoth, Beelzebub Asmodeus, Satanas, Lucifer Belial, Behemoth, Beelzebub Asmodeus, Satanas, Lucifer

[@benjamindavis4974]

I'm in two mind between 7.8/10 or 8.2/10

Mr. DH, please tell me why there are special issues dedicated to the band ghost? Did I miss another update on the channel?

Where do you learn the information for all the demonology and stuff? It's something I want to study more and dont' know where to start I guess lol.

[@ElyonDominus]

You can Google it. There are wikipedia entries with sources.

[@luanhylario5882]

Try goetia, the keys of solomon, dr rudd, red dragon, demonology (wich can be different)

[@fayemanning197]

🔥🤘👻🔥

[@janineadrianareguengagomez3708]

ohh as yu alrady lived it this song in concert just kicks in! and It still makes me laugh how many people takes Ghost's "satanic" visuals so seriously. Is so obvious It's a Glam band and being (pop)metal they will take catolic/christian elements, I would never expect anyone to be "shocked" by their lyrics or think of them as "fordibben" to me their aesthetic is pretty "halloween-esque" and it's pretty obvious they're a parody. It also is amazing to me how many english speakers think people have such little knowledge about demonoly, , here where I live and was born: méxico, and all latin america in general (being a highly catholic area) we know those figures even before we are born (way of speaking) I thought was the same over there having christianity so enganged. I'm not talking about you since I know you understand Ghost now better that you went to the concert and all, and you saw all the lore and story they do. and I do enjoy all your reactions ! but it still is funny to me how many reactors do see the "satanic" in ghost specifically as if was intented to shock. I've seen pastors who call them "glam rock bands" and compare them to twisted sisters and identify "they're just having fun", obviously theres others who think they're serious. but yeah. I always find funny how with so many metal bands who also call for satanism Ghost is the one who is being taken so seriously XD or maybe I just normalized too much all these storytelling stuff as I am a nerd comic artist lol

[@rodolfotardin435]

YOU HAVE TO HEAR THE NORTHWARD INDEPENDENT PRODUCTION "WHILE LOVE DIED" WITH FLOOR

[@Swaggycat_yt]

Behemoth represents the physical world

[@wjadam024]

Ghost is best appreciated in live and video, their context can be lost in audio by the uninitiated. This being why the NFL used Square Hammer as a promo song for Monday Night Football.

[@marybrant9586]

When did the NFL do this?

[@xerodelacroix5552]

It's correct, it's in Latin.

[@rapidthrash1964]

This is my favorite live performance of Year Zero: kzbin.info/www/bejne/mmm1eWuIhJWYiJIfeature=shared

[@MrWhitearchon]

they are naming the devils all names

[@THEDavidHeretic]

Behemoth and Asmodeus were never used as old names of the devil.

[@themasterjinn]

Belial, Behemoth, Beelzebub, Asmodeus, Satanas, Lucifer

[@Ryliarc]

6:01 American discovers that different languages have different pronounciations:

[@Joel-pi2tt]

There is only 6 devils mentioned here and not all of them are sins. Mammon, Belphagor, and Leviathan are missing. Belial is not a sin holder.

[@kaffenoizen]

It's not mispronounced, it's just not american pronounced...

[@itzkillerbrostudios8904]

beezlebub is one of satans name

[@friedrichnietzsche7376]

Think they are not misspronouncing the names I just think they are saying It in latin. "Satanas" instead of Satan you know 👹Also I do think bahemoth is a fat elephant demon not just a creature.(not acording To The bible tho they kinda made shit up in medieval demonology a bit)

[@alicspellman6938]

I feel so out of touch when I run into Ghost's music. It does absolutely nothing for me, and I've really tried. It's just incredibly weak and flat, in my opinion. Must just not be for me, as many people love them.

[@DaP84]

II bet you haven't heard much, they have such a diverse catalog

[@Tbone.357]

You should check out: Ritual, Faith, Rats or Square Hammer.

[@alicspellman6938]

I listened to Ritual so far. It's just not for me
