Found this while searching for "ghost rituals" to do on Halloween. Needless to say this song surpasses my greatest expectations.
and i google ghost - ritual and shit u were looking for comes up, lol
U cant be serious hahahahahaha its like we say in Brazil, "you target what u've seen and shot the unseen" XD well, now you've won an excellent band! 👍
@@endgame9275 oh os gringo so nas macumba
Welcome to the Clergy
holy fucking cringe
The solo in the end gives me real peace in my soul....
Violet Ortensia Me too. Literally one of the best solos I've ever heard. Not technically because it's very easy to play but there's just something about it.
Marcus Olsson Its like SOADs Psycho solo simple yet so much emotion in it.
Violet Ortensia agree
Agree. Just the perfect notes and string bendings in time.

This is a certified hood classic
Sai daí tu nem curte kkkkkk
so true bestie
Nope, creepy white dude music. You cannot have it. Stick with autotuned lyrics and bad bass.
I know that's right!
If suge was still around he'd have signed them
This was, in all seriousness, my first wedding dance.
Yes, we frolicked around the garden in dress and suit, surrounded by family members (who don’t know English) and friends (who do). We danced and sang about “procreating the unholy bastard”.
Very good memory 😄 it was two years ago, the unholy bastard is starting to crawl and speak in tongues now!
My honeymoon song was Monstrous Clock. 😉
You are absolutely living the dream, man!
😂
omg that's so sweet :,) hope u and ur "unholy bastard" are doing well
This is epic!
Its the unnervingly soft spoken tone in which he sings "... smells of dead human sacrifice" that makes this song scary fucking good.
Edgy
I agree. There's something about that mellow 70's-80's tone that blends into a Satanic prayer then goes back to being jolly after the solo that makes this song special.
He's talking about mastubation 🤣😝
i would not say scary but more eerie just making it that much darker
The blissful ecstasy and seduction of the devil himself
LYRICS:
Tonight, we're summoned
For a divine cause
Remembrance, no
But for their future loss
Chorus:
In this chapel of ritual
Smells of dead
Human sacrifices from the altar-
Verse 2:
Beduins and Nomads
Carried through the times
Through pestilences and famines
These ancient scrolls of rhymes
Our fallen angel vexed
Was banished from the sky
Recite now, from the text
And pray for all to die
Chorus:
In this chapel of ritual
Smells of dead
Human sacrifices from the altar bed
On this night of ritual
Invoking our master
To procreate the unholy bastard
Bridge:
Our father, who art in Hell
Unhallowed, be thy name
Cursed be the sons and daughters
Of thine nemesis who are to blame
Thy kingdom come, Nema!
Verse 3:
Tonight, we summoned
For his unholy fiend
Now celebrate
The end
Chorus:
In this chapel of ritual
Smells of dead
Human sacrifices from the altar bed
On this night of ritual
Invoking our master
To procreate the unholy bastard
I'm the 100th Motherfucker to like 👍 the lyrics.

The outro in this song is GOLDEN
4 minutes and 28 seconds of this song are golden
It's why I fell in love with this band.
peanutboy41 .....sublime outro
Just like Satan, Ghost excels in the end of things. The outros
i think was inspirated in the end guitar solo of "Black Sabbath - God Is Dead?", the notes are similars, i think....
I saw them in stockholm sweden when they played, people reacted the same way (Ive been a fan of them since the start of 2011) but at the end of their small section, everyone were speechless and applaused as hell. great band, Got the chance to go backstage to meet In Flames and it was great, But i were completely speechless and kind of exalted with myself when Papa Emeritus walked up to me and asked if i believed in Satan.. Most epic moment in my life
I hope you didnt disappointed Him with your answer..
Papa Emeritus: Do you believe in Satan?
Custer: *Happy babbling
Holy fuck that's epic
i guess I'm kinda randomly asking but does anybody know a good place to watch newly released tv shows online ?
You know that when papa asked you that, you were talking to the devil himself...... your answer should have been the right one
Man, this is straight outta the 70's!! Love it!! So old school sounding.
Hey guys, sorry I'm like almost a decade late to this party...
I've had a lot of bands melt my face. This is the first band that melted my soul!
Incredible, incredible instrumental proficiency and unique, dread lyrics.
Better late than never my friend!
I'm more than a decade late (just recently rediscover them)
I feel you. I just became a fan last year. I had heard their music before on the radio, and didn't think much of it. and I heard year zero and It really spoke to me and from then on out I have become obsessed!
Started listening to them 2 years ago. Ritual is the song that hooked me. I love their entire catalogue From Opus to Rats, being 50, this gives me faith their is still some talented musicians out there who can nail it.
same age here and same exact feelings as you have!
I'm a *bit* of a young'un here, only being in my 40's, but I discovered Ghost a couple of years ago, and they are my new favourite band, at a time when I didn't think the world of music had any music left in it. Certainly didn't expect a band who I'd name in the same sentence as The Cure, Skinny Puppy, or Queen as stuff I can never get tired of listening to.
@@neuralmute try tool
Sweden is where it's at. They've been churning out some of the best rock for decades.
Check out the band Porcupine Tree
Is it just me, or is this one of the only songs that doesn't get old. EVER?
It’s not just you.
it’s timeless
Fr
Considering you wrote this 7 years ago, and I still come back regularly to listen...nope, it's timeless!
Only two songs have really grated on me enough to discontinue listening and one of them is Secular Haze. ThIs so is incredible.
This verse riff sounds really close to the main riff from Symphony of Destruction by Megadeth.
Noah Harned agreed.
Yeah
Same notes with a different tail.
"really close" or "blatant ripoff?"
Megadeth was in standard tuning this is in d standard but same riff pattern
Honestly this is one of these night cruise songs with all the windows down on a empty freeway at night. A masterpiece.
I enjoy playing this full blast in my truck with windows down as I pull up to others at red lights whom have their windows down while I'm singing along, smiling away and slowly glance over at them to see their reaction (plus I'm this 4'11" tiny girl who may not look like this is what I'd jam too lol) Especially when playing Pro Memoria... The looks I get, haha. I also have my Ghost decal in the back window, proudly for all to see. 🤘❤😊 (Keep forgetting I'm on my hubbys YT on this phone. I am Jenn, not Brian lol)
I absolutely do this. It's amazing right after it rains, makes it nice n spooky.
1:19
"Our Fallen Angel Vick learned spanish from this guy"
Michael "Ron Mexico" Vick.
it can not be unheard now...thanks, Alejandro, for ruining the song :D
"Our fallen angel vick was spanish from the sky"
zoey margera true that
¿Que estas diciendo de no sé que de español o de España?
I cannot get enough of this song ... Of the Band... Just recently discovered them and became a fan! 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
You’re in for a wild ride!
I've been exploring them for less than a week and I honestly can't remember what my life was like before that.
3:24 The outro solo is too good that tears welled up in my eyes
Honestly I haven't stopped listening to ghost since I found them .
You better still be listening 🤘
Same
It's so cool coming into older comment sections like this, here in 2022. A lot of y'all knew back then that Ghost would take off, and they have and still are! I just became a fan weeks ago, and I haven't heard one song I've disliked ❤
I first saw Ghost in 2012 at a club in Pittsburgh that help about 800 people. The tickets cost 30 dollars and I got to hang with the whole band. We walked down two blocks to a bar for some drinks. Tobias wanted to go to a record shop but this part of town didn't have one near by. Still one of my greatest memories.
Y sigue siendo mi canción favorita de Ghost, la primera que logré sacar en guitarra, que hermosa joya.
always been my favourite ❤️❤️
It will stand the test of time as the beginning of nothing but legendary music!
@@RushianRichard Word.
@@TruthUnderFire Yeah man, took my 15y old daughter to Kiss last year. Was her 1st rock concert and she wasn't too enthusiastic at first but I just convinced her to go. Few months later she came to me and asked "Dad, do you know Ghost?" I bursted out laughing and told her I'd seen Ghost live in 2018 and also had played "Square Hammer" in a metal cover-band. Now she wants to go to Ghost front row with me and has made playlists for herself with Ghost, Arctic Monkeys, AC/DC, Nirvana and Metallica. I'm so happy and proud to see what one real rock concert with great visuals (Kiss) can do to such a young mind.
@@RushianRichard Oh wow. And KISS is washed up now. Gene Simmons is about as relevant as GMO corn. Scumbag at heart, too. I loved KISS, but Gene was the reason I turned away. He's a Zionist as well which makes him even more slimy.
But Ghost? They're badass and they just want to put on scary shows and shock people, just as Alice Cooper did with his onstage Guillotine and moving body parts, and talking torsos. The original shock rocker. GHOST got it right! Very captivating and intriguing band.
Secular Haze is what got me started. So unique. It was a fun journey going through their discography after that.
I hear Blue Oyster Cult and "Symphony of Destruction"
Really dig it
احا يا سلوي ميتال هيد عربية
Still one of my favorites
Узнала о группе года два назад, чисто случайно, увидев кадр с концерта и всё, с тех пор это одна из самых любимых. До сих пор помню ночи без сна проведённые за словарём и переводчиком в попытке узнать о чём же поют.
If this song was released 20 years ago it would be considered legendary.
Amazing band,amazing song,and I only started listening to them 15 mins ago!
Gods Im Obsessed with the music of Ghost. They have definitely become my favorite of all the newer bands
That Metal Show called it a crossover between Blue Öyster Cult and Mercyful Fate...pretty accurate. Cool Stuff.
I was thinking that exact thing earlier, came here to listen again and saw your comment.
I really see the blue öyster cult in them
A little REO Speedwagon too
fuck now I want a Ghost King Diamond tour
@@omgman8663 hmmm....interesting bill
I don't see how people could be arguing while listening to such touching music... Really spiritual stuff.
te doy like para que no mueras olvidado pana :(
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
The bassist does the bulk of the damage. The lead performs the precision stab wounds and the lyrics keep you resuscitated just long enough to, in the final moment, enjoy, the end.
The bassist is Gustaf Lindström, the lead guitar is Tobias Forge, the rhythm guitar is Tobias the percussion is Ludvig Kernberg the Lyrics are Tobias, the keyboard is Tobias. Just added some ingredients there for ya.
0:32 You take a mortal man
And put him in control
Watch him become a god
Watch peoples heads a'roll
A'roll
+Spaghettaboutit God damn it :D
Its called paying homage to an awesome band. Music nowadays isn't all original. So this isnt really a ripoff if thats what you're implying..
+Spaghettaboutit i see what you did there haha
symphonic le destruction - Megadeth
Yes
Holy smokes still sounds so amazing after all these years
It sounds amazing because the musicians at the time were more melodic, then mechanical. The newer lineup is not a part of the recording or writing process like the old ghouls were. Omega, and Alpha are my favorite, they are the reason I initially started listening during the Myspace days.
I saw them at the Hippodrome several years ago we had great seats and Tobias's voice is magical!
Just goes to show that you don't have to growl into a microphone or machine gun your instruments to be a top tier metal band. A nice change of pace; one of my new favorite bands.
Think is why my brother and myself have started liking bands like this more and more. I like to be able to hear the lyrics being sang.
Metal? It's basically soft rock.
@@dmac1259 maybe like old doom metal, kinda like a pop version of black sabbath
@@christophernoble76 so, like, not metal? Like I originally said? Not being metal doesn't mean it isn't good music but it's not metal.
@@dmac1259 If this isn't metal, then BOC, Deep Purple, and the Sweet aren't either. And I know those are.
"on this night of ritual, a Pokemon master"
???
YES, misheard lyrics XD
Lol Invoking my master
PriloRamen that's how red became the Pokemon champion. A ritual
Get the fuck out
summoning Ash???
I only came across this track tonight and WOW, what a song!
Definite Symphony of Destruction vibes from that riff, brilliant
Just 11 months ago? I take it that was your introduction to Ghost. However, it's nothing like Symphony of Destruction. Different chords, tone, pacing etc.
Ghost is making metal fun again.
This piece of history needs more views
Unfortunately a lot of new fans stick to Prequelle and Impera which is a shame. Ever since Prequelle, some people have gotten to cutesy with Ghost. Like pics of Copies ass and crotch, cute baby like drawings and adorable nicknames for the Ghouls. I can't stand that shit. This isn't Babymetal.
@@PapaEmeritus_4evr I know but Prequelle as a whole is an awesome album
@@Sh4dow_7802 Oh of course. I understand Tobias had to go more commercial to achieve the success that he wanted and I definitely don't dislike the album. I don't dislike any Albums. I just hold those first three albums as exceptional because of their sound not being overproduced like Impera (which I still love), being darker and all three albums being one continued story. I will say there's a mastering problem with Infestissumam. Wish they would have used the original version that Simon did. Hell, even Tobias preferred it but it was Universal's decision. I have no doubt that Infestissumam will be remastered one day.
@@PapaEmeritus_4evr I like it that every album is something completely new soundwise. Of course I would love a darker metal album like every other oldschool ghost fan but the great unexpected feeling you have when listening to a new album that sounds so different but still has that ghost charm is awesome. I like every album, Infestissumam sounds great imo (have you listened to the new iron maiden mix and mastering 😅)
Catchy Songs like Rats and of course Square Hammer are my magnum opus
@@Sh4dow_7802 Oh I agree with everything u said. Phantom of the Opera is awesome! I really like Phantomime! You mentioned Infestissumam. I love the album but what I don't like about it is the mastering. Originally Simon Söderberg (Alpha) did it but Universal rejected it and it was remixed. Even Tobias preferred the original. I think he'll remaster it someday. I'd love to hear the original.
Top 3 ghost songs
3:square hammer
2:Cirice
1(my top favorite) Ritual!!!!!!
Majesty!!!
For me :
3.From The Pinnacle to the Pit/Cirice
2. Ritual /Elizabeth
1.Life Eternal
3:25 that solo 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
The Mercyful Fate influence is strong in this song. The chorus sounds like a direct lift of the riffs and melody of "Return of the Vampire" and the bridge sounds just like the end of "A Gruesome Time".
Makes me love it even more. I would love to hear Ghost cover some old KD / MF tunes.
If only King Diamond would collaborate with Ghost
Amazing that's been 10 years since this song amazed me
One of the Best 70's Classic Rock sounding bands I've ever heard! I love that they added more 80's pop-rock to it later. The lead singer sounds exactly like the lead singer from the Bee Gees: so diggin that. I dont like Satan, but got a kick out of people saying Ghost is his favorite pop metal band.
Awesome Band! A mix of BOC, and other classic bands adding a unique sound to their music!
just compare how modest and tiny the first records sounds in comparison to Prequelle. this and Miasma - a world of difference! i like all of their records, so far it is an amazing evolution.
I love the classic metal feel this song has
Tonight we´re summoned for a divine cause
Remembrance - No
But for their future loss
This chapel of ritual
Smells of dead human sacrifices
From the altar...
Beduins and nomads
Carried through the times
Through pestilences and famines
These ancient scrolls of rhymes
"Our fallen angel vexed
Was banished from the sky
Recite now from the text
Pray for ALL to die"
This chapel of ritual
Smells of dead human sacrifices
From the altar bed
On this night of ritual
Invoking our master
To procreate the unholy bastard
"Our father
Who art in hell
Unhallowed be thy name
Cursed be the sons and daughters
Of thine Nemesis
Whom are to blame
Thy kingdom come
nemA"
Tonight we summoned for His unholy fiend
Now celebrate
The End
This chapel of ritual
Smells of dead human sacrifices
From the altar bed
On this night of ritual
Invoking our master
To procreate the unholy bastard
Hail Ghost and Satan
I thought it said "unholy diet." (pronounced de-et.) meaning "Parliament"
This men is really satanic, or somebody who wants to earn a lot of money with the youth ? Or both
Spiro Nikita Ielivitch They are atheists, but they genuinely like La Veyan satanism. They are using satanism as a critique of modern society.
@@sofiam.8103 yes but they are not naif.. At the begining i thougt they were un imitation of King Diamond. But they are really good musicians, artists, even if the last album is a bit commercial
This has been my fav song for years now!
Época q eu escutava essa música eu era nível 36 ainda, 9 anos depois to nível máximo saudades desse tempo
Jogador de DDTank aqui também. Que surpresa! Hahaha.
s1.
Gotta admit papa emeritus I has the most unique voice
they are all the same person...
And what range he has. Love Tobias
I just love this band. They are just so original and their sound is refreshing in metal. And even though metal is an extreme genre (from a musical perspective) but this is a very new take on what history did and this is a dark but also very good to hear in this decade.
loving this sm the guitar solos are so good omg-
The riff Reminds me of symphony of destruction by the Almighty Megadeth, my favorite song by them
I'm a fan since 1974
Best line is definitety 'smells of dead human sacrifice'
I can't think of a more effective guitar solo than the one in this song. Even for as short as it is, very efficient and powerful.
Yep, Martin Persner(Omega), and Simon Soderberg(Alpha) were an amazing fit musically for Ghost. I stopped caring about live Ghost in July of 2016, but we will always have the studio albums. Omega is better off now anyway re-awakening MCC, he would have never gone for the nascar bible belt kind of business deals going on now in Ghost, no way. Dignity over a paycheck I say.
The intro sounds uncannily like Symphony Of Destruction but I still love this song as it's own creation
We saw them at Fortarock July 2nd!. It was the f*cking suprise of the day. Immediatly purchased the cd. This album wil turn out to be a classic. Mark our words!!
Their live performance is really great. It's a great contrast between retro music, the visual, the (christian) spirtuality and spreading another message instead.... It's so amazing and well thoughtover. It's like an addiction. I think they put a spell on us, while watching. Or did they jus convert us, without us knowing? \m/
this comment aged very well
damn jealous you got to see them early on. im a new fan just got introduced to them after their 10th anniversary. definitely a classic album!
So cool to see how right you were 10 years ago in 2022!
Well if you see this comment I would like to say you're correct.
@@seismicrocket i wish the prediction would work concerning winning the lottery too 😁
I LOVE THIS BAND! BEST METAL ACT FROM THE LAST 10 YEARS...
2011 Ghost was on Fenriz's Band of the week page, thanks Fenriz for turning me onto Ghost!
the final chorus and the guitar solo have something unbelievable
Wow 10 year anniversary coming up soon ,I found them in 2011 after a friend recommended them ,seen them rise from a few hundred people in small clubs to huge .Congratulations!
I guess you wrote this in 2021 or 2020. I'm curious as to why you said "ten year anniversary coming up soon." Ten years for the album would be 2020. Ten years for the band would 2018. (When they formed in 2008)
That intro is so sick
My favourite. wonderful song!
i love the megadeth like sound in the instrumentals!! hail ghost🤘🏻
Que voz preciosa,angelical.
Kkkk angelical , já viu a tradução dessa música ?
@@fernandooliveira437mas com essa voz do vocalista poderia muito bem ser membro do Coldplay
@@fernandooliveira437😂😂😂😂
Ghost is, hands down, the best soundtrack to play Cult of the Lamb to
Ghost makes me happy and nolstsgic,makes me cry and feel free at the same time
First song I heard from Ghost and still one of my faves. Got recommended on That Metal Show and Ive been a fan ever since. Going see these guys with Volbeat. Cant wait!
They are quite different from their album sound when you see them live. Plus, their mindblowing stage presence (dark monks :D) adds a lot to their lyrics (which aren't exactly deeeeep). A band to watch and enjoy.
Very old school 70s rock like sounding from Ghost
this song got me hooked on them way back when...still one of m favorites
This is definitely my favorite Ghost song.
That solo and drums at the end....
Eu amo esse baixo maravilhoso 💗🤟
E foda mesmo, e o que faz a música fica pica pra karae
I love ghost and this song so much, it's probably one of my top favorites by them at the moment
used to hear just when it was released, was just a kid... now listening 9 years later as a 20 year old... how time flies
I cannot stop listening to this record what a masterpiece....
old school, new sound in the right way and a great production, AWESOME, cheers guys, new fan here!!!
This is an old time fave from their albums for sure
One of my favorite songs
hell yeah!
Quando virá o proximo CD?
Adorei o som da banda e espero ansioso pelo próximo trabalho.
A banda foge da "mesmice". Simplesmente, uma grata surpresa.
One of the best metal riffs I've heard in a while.
Airpods and ghost go well together love this song a lot
The closet thing to classic Doom metal I have ever heard. Beautiful.
Hail SANTA!
I am counting days until they are in the states again! So excited for this tour!!!!
I absolutely love how it has their MySpace page. Ghost literally developed a fan base almost overnight.
Fantastic first album, didn’t like it at first but it really grew on me.
Will always be one of my favorite Ghost songs. It sounds so much like Blue Oyster Cult!!! Love it!
I got the neat gold version of the vinyl. I am amazed at how many variations of vinyl these guys put out for their albums.
Without looking to see if anyone has noticed this, but this song along with some other songs on the album sound SO much like early 80’s Blue Oyster Cult and Pentagram... and I’m loving it. You can almost sing “Joan Crawford” over the chorus to this song.
Dude why is no one talking abt how diff parts of the song plays in diff ears?? i never noticed this before wtf
That's "stereo sound".
3:39 damn
Fantastic guitar riff, great sound!
Saw them last May. Still one of the best bands I've ever seen.
most epic intro ever....
Almost remind me a bit of Sabbath with the heavy tunes and Blue Oyster vocally with the chorus of Don't Fear the Reaper. Keep up the good work Ghost!
Anyone remember getting this in their recommended 7 years ago? So glad I did.
I became a Ghost fan with this song since two or three years ago 🖤
