I love the mental confusion they cause, when you see their pictures you think GOSH THEY'RE PROBABLY A HEAVY BLACK METAL BAND. And then you listen to their songs and they're like a 70's rock n' roll with a touch of black sabbath.

[@metallica1821821]

*metal confusion

[@BillWard]

That's how I felt when I first saw Ghost. I was sure I'd hate them. Then I listened to Secular Haze and I loved it. It was the type of music that I love.

I remember their first album was labeled black metal on metal-archives forums and remember thinking it was odd. They argued the lyrical themes made it BM. I don't think so.

My favourite part is when Papa gets up and does his sideways walk whilst avoiding stepping on the Nameless Ghoul's feet, even though there is no seats in front of them. And when he sees the spectre in the sky, the overly dramatic way he points. Love this band!!

I sincerely hope these guys stick around and keep making music because I want to be listening to them still when I'm fifty.

[@edwardlavaden6928]

Well said! I've never been able to find one that jives just right, and is worthy of zealous devotion, but I think Ghost might be the one!

I know exactly what you mean.

[@kristelrivera3618]

They are original in some ways like to mix "churche music" with the 80's music, making nice videos with satanic letters, in the custumes obviously and the meaning of it all that they want to give us...music and freedom, without foolish people that tell us how to live or how we have to think. Maybe Ghost isn't metal band completely but for me they are more than a original band, they are amazing and more because they are a very young. :)

Here's how good Square Hammer is: I put the song on repeat and listened to it almost 30 times in a row while at the gym during a beast mode gym session! The chorus gets me so pumped and it pops up like 6 times during the song. Doing the math, that's 180 shots of adrenaline!!!

I love Ghost so much, and I will never understand some of the hate they receive from metal elitists. It confounds me, because they are essentially a throwback to older hard rock bands like Black Sabbath, Judas Priest, Blue Oyster Cult, and King Crimson, with a dash of Candlemass thrown in for good measure. It's so classic and timeless, I don't see how anyone could truly hate it, unless they hate the very concept of fun itself. :P

[@timescore5916]

Ikr. I'm honest, I can't really have much of an opinion of that since I'm not a metal head or know much about metal. But when I got hooked with with band and went to their concert I was blown away. The more I discover of them, especially Tobias, I can't help myself but love them even more. The short chapters are so hilarious and the whole story behind this band and their members is amazing. It's just downright entertaining not to forget how awesome the music is. There's not a single song out of all their albums that I don't like

[@par4troy1]

I recently discovered this band.. and about 2 songs into the investigation, I decided to start from the beginning - over a 7 Day period I watched them evolve .... KZbin is so great for this... because once I heard it, (it was like seeing a trailer on TV and you instantly like it, so you hurry and change the channel so you don't ruin it) so starting from the beginning The singing through me off at first, but the SOUND of the over all big picture captivated me... and the strangeness of their frontman - the Mysteriousness of whether he was real, sometimes it seemed as he was acting/lipsinking during a live performance or was it simply a mask... but the music drew me in.. and the melody had a way of creeping under your skin until you had to hear it again.. and again.. As I grew to love them (the whole time not jumping ahead in their evolution, sticking to the timeline to take in everything in order) I was worried, would this be the band that gets better and better, or would this be the band that starts out strong and slowly fades downhill.. To my surprise they evolved better and better.. So obviously I'm talking about it at work, and with friends.. Most of them have heard of Ghost, But only know He wears a Pope Hat thinggy.. and assume they are a pretty hardcore thing, and didn't really give them any sort of chance... In some aspects they are Hardcore, Cuz I hear evrything from Dethklock to Disturbed in there... but the Singing and the melody put them into a class of their own... So today is Day 7 of my evolution and I'm here with you all jamming to this great new song Square Hammer.. OMG Ironically on day 5 my buddy informed me he bought 2 front row sets to the show in 10 days and his other friend already had tickets.. so I'm going to be seeing them in KALAMAZOO at the State Theater OCTOBER 4..Gonna be eppic...

That is how cover songs go ;) "I Believe" is the weakest track, but "Bible" is phenomenal, and "Nocturnal Me" is superb, too. Just when I thought nothing was going to top "He Is", they best it with "Bible". "Square Hammer" is not in my top Ghost song list, but it is decent -- has a Type O Negative meets Foo Fighter vibe.

"He is" blows Bible out of the water. Don't get me wrong, it's a good cover, but certainly not on the level of their best stuff.

[@KetchupRevenge]

Every song from them is amazing. Their older stuff sounds much closer to metal then their newer stuff, which is closer to pop or light rock. The first album (released in 2010) was called Opus Eponymous, and took the metal scene by storm. Their second album was called Infesstissumam (2013). And their third and most recent album is called Meliora (2015). They also have two EP albums. "If You have Ghost" (2014) and "Popestar", which was just released last Friday. Popestar features this song.

[@juliegogola4647]

I LOVE the Old Ghost songs, BUT, the new songs from the new CD that I have heard aren't bad at all. I have NOT heard them all though,. BUT, I MUST say that the OLD stuff from Ghost, as in the first 4 CD';s were much more, "HEAVY", and even "Prequel" had some songs that I did LOVE. BUT, PREQUEL also had some songs that were "not my favorites". OLD Ghost had been just "special" to me. Although much of it is more "Satanic" in words and subjectmatter. I had never taken it seriously, I grew up in the 80's, the MECCA of heavy metal music being linked to satan, so here is ghost and they actually sing about satan so blatantly that IF anybody tries to link them to Satan, the band has already done it for them. It is all just a big old middle finger to anybody who is looking for negative stuff to judge them for. 🤣🤣

[@necroticprolapse1411]

although i thoroughly enjoy almost all of their catalogue, i couldn't agree more.

[@tranz2deep]

Ghost flat-out rocks and I give full credit. Tobias even goes so far as to get everyone up to speed on the play style so they can, in his words, be adequate together. I say the cohesion is just as great a quality in its own right as Tobias is shooting for and the following the band has would seem to confirm this. Oh, and don't worry about calling Cirice "circle", this happens more often than one might expect. At least one commenter to the official video for Cirice mentioned that this helped him realize he had dyslexia.

I heard Ghost for the very first time on September 17 at Revolution Rock festival. They were next to last to perform. After standing for 10 hours, I was actually on my way out, when this song came on. It stopped me in my tracks. I stayed for their whole set. I could not believe I'd never heard of this band before. Get this, I subscribe to three music magazines and get a ton of music related mailings in my inbox, and the name Ghost had never come up. There is something wrong with the way music is covered in the press. Some bands are in every issue and others are overlooked. E.g., I googled Kerrang and All Time Low, and multiple covers came up, plus there was a mention of All Time Low in almost every issue. Then I googled Kerrang and Ghost, and a tiny picture of Papa came up on a busy cover of a 2015 Christmas issue. Seriously? How about some balance? Sure, All Time Low is a good band, but I want to hear about Ghost as well, and how many other good bands are getting no press? So glad I didn't leave that festival before Ghost. Now I'm going to see them again in November, and I have all of their songs on my playlist, and I've listened to most of the music from those other three bands they're rumored to have a connection with, and I've ordered their merch, and I'm going as Papa for Halloween, and I'm just so darn glad I've discovered them. For me, it's the best band in years.

[@KetchupRevenge]

You were there? :D I was there in the white Papa Emeritus costume. Were you one of the many who got a pic with me?? I'm glad you stayed. I saw Ghost three years ago (July 2013) in Hartford at the Webster when they were under Papa 2. However, I instantly became a fan in Feb of that year when they premiered the video for Secular Haze. I will say their show at Revolution Rock Fest wasn't as good as it could've been. It was way too short, and Papa didn't appear in his robes. Either way, you can't complain about Ghost. :D

[@msgaylesmith]

Your costume was fabulous. I wish the merch tent had stayed open longer. By the time I discovered Ghost and wanted their t-shirt, the merch tent had closed. Based on my research, all the Papas seem to be the same guy.

[@starkillerchaos]

I too want to go as Papa for Halloween! But I want to paint my face as Papa II. His look then is more evil.

[@KetchupRevenge]

Abby Asmus Papa 3 is supposed to be closer to the demon from the Exorcist than skull face paint like Papa 1 and 2. In addition to this, the first promotional poster for Papa 3 was inspired by the theatrical poster for the Exorcist of the priest standing outside the house. The priest was of course replaced with a silhouette of Papa.

[@angeldixon2499]

[@KetchupRevenge]

You have officially been exposed to the sensation that is "Ghost", a fast rising star in the Metal scene due to their eccentric imagery, lyrics, and unconventional retro metal sound. They formed in 2008 in Linkoping, Sweden, of which the band is a six-piece band. It is comprised of a Satanic pope-like lead singer named Papa Emeritus (they're on the third version of the character, of which they change the version every album cycle. Each version has a different personality than the others, although they all fall into the same "stoic and solid leader" type.), and five other members that dress in identical costumes. These five other members are referred to as "The Nameless Ghouls". The band members remain officially anonymous (although plenty of people know who the lead singer actually is). Ghost has three albums out, the first having been released in 2010 [Opus Eponymous], followed by 2013 [Infestissumam] and 2015 [Meliora]. They also have two EP albums, the most recent of which was just released this past Friday (9/16) which features this song. *"If you have Ghost" (2014) *"Popestar" (2016) Ghost is one of those bands that people fight over if they're metal or not. I think they're 100% metal due to their lyrical content and imagery, but plenty of people disagree with me on this. They won the Grammy this year for Best Metal Performance for their song "Cirice", beating out long-time running bands like Slipknot and Sevendust. They are the only Swedish band in history to win a Grammy award. Even ABBA, who are a major inspiration for Ghost due to them being the first Swedish band to go international, never achieved this. So since you've been exposed to this greatness, prepare to have your soul consumed by the music, and sucked into oblivion. Their LIVE shows are amazing too. They're currently on tour in the US. DEFINITELY try to see them if you can.

[@Blueangel290393]

thanks for your unexpected long and detailed interesting answer K.Revenge ! Very interesting to know what their program seems to be and it actually is what I already commented the same way on another Vid. -- that they are as awesome just because of their what I called "unconventional" kind of making music comparable to former sounds that I feared to be forgotten in the ongoing trend. It is not the case I don't like different genres.... but this music is what I call "handmade" and true in quality and tone connected to a great overall band concept. But it may be that it's on the other hand just the perspective influenced by my dad who played for around 40 years bass guitar in several band... And PinkFloyd, Eagles, FleetwoodMac, LedZeppelin, Nirvana, FooFighters, Rammstein, InFlames, ArchEnemy, ..just to mention a few I (mostly) prefer.... BUT I dont care about the discussion what the genre specifically seems to be....... the boundaries are often blurred and thats good.... 'cause If it weren't like that we definitely had some big problems to become creative. Nevertheless, I agree in the idea that music can be classified into coarse directions. AND ! (btw) I saw this award...... ^^ ....just embarrassing....so not Ghost....but that audience.. I thought that the latter would be just a problem here in germany...but on the other hand somehow funny the way they enter the hall and everybody looks at them as if they just have seen a ghost ! muhhahahahahaaaa.....

[@KetchupRevenge]

I agree. They are honestly a fresh band because they put a modern twist on older style music. Their first album is 100% metal, sounding like early day Black Sabbath, but their more recent stuff is more pop musicy. Hence the title of their newest EP, a pun on the term "Popstar", "Popestar". Their officially classified as Doom Metal and their first album really did sound that way for the most part, but their sound has changed to be more upbeat than their original stuff. This causes the fights between people on if they're actually metal or not. I personally don't care. I just like the music and imagery. Papa 1 was really old, mysterious, and didn't have much of a personality, while Papa 2 was noticeably younger and more vicarious. He loved the ladies, but was "fired" for not being able to do his job. Papa 3 (the current one) is Papa 2's younger brother (by 3 months), and is more polite and laid back than his older brother. Keep in mind, that all Papa's are actually the same singer, just changing costumes and versions of the character with each album cycle. All Papas have had two different official variants of costumes. Papa 1 originally dressed in black Robes, but transitioned to white toward the later part of his reign. Papa 2 had his robed version, and had a "street" version, where he wore no make-up at all (mind you, the singer still was in a costume). Papa 3 has his robed version and a suited version. These are the two versions that you see in this video. The Ghouls have changed their costumes with each era of the Papas as well.
