Sweden is full of awesome people. Shout-out to anyone watching from Sweden! :D
Swedish death-metal is undefeated though I gotta be honest...
Yes!
By the way this is not an official lyric video and is full of errors. But the song kicks ass. You should see the live version with fire and flames 😉
Our playlist becomes more and more synced for every new band you dig into - kinda. I would recommend: Ciricle, From The Pinnacle To The Pit, He Is (which reminds a little of this one; it's like a church praise song about the dude in the basement), Faith, Rats. And thanks for a great channel! :)
*wave* Fredrik Åkesson from Opeth played most of the guitar tracks on Ghost latest album. And Mikael Åkerfeldt played on a song from the album before that.
If your looking for more Swedish metal I'd try out some Meshuggah, Soilwork, or Avatar.
I'm over the moon you're finally reacting to some Ghost! Some suggestions: Ritual, Cirice, He Is, Rats, Dance Macabre, Square Hammer, Mary on a cross. That's a lot, I know but you seriously can't go wrong with any of those
YES nice request i was just gonna suggest those songs. Good ones, also He is that is funny one :)
Ritual!
Got to add spillways and in the 20's imo
How could you forget Monstrance Clock?
I think everyone understands your reaction completely. I have been listening to Ghost for several years now and my wife and I saw them twice this year. The live show is just spectacular. The concept comes across even better live. Let me say that I think the problem with understanding Ghost is the problem of trying to assign it a genre by either the sonics or the lyrics. That misses the point. Ghost is a concept, a world, like Harry Potter, like LOTR. It is a narrative, a perspective. Think of it as Edgar Alan Poe, but as a musical, and the stories are historical fictions. Tobias has taken the elements of the State Church/government, and turned it inside out, exposing the dark side of religion, the dark side of humanity, the dark side of history. To bring awareness to humanity’s inclination to sweep things under the rug, to bury problems, to be insincere, he brings these hidden things to light. Rather than hide and shame, his devil pope glorifies and revels in its evil. It’s much more palatable when the veil of deception is removed. It is a clarion call for sincerity and honesty in our dealings with ourselves, our society, and our collective history. The music is just a vessel to get it into people’s minds that it might effect a positive change. And it is so well done. Everything evokes nostalgia for the western world: the religious imagery, the chanting, the architecture, married to nostalgic musical choices. Ghost is the most original and exciting thing to happen to rock music - in my opinion - in thirty years, and maybe, the most important. And I say all of this, as a Christian, and as a preacher.
I agree you cannot paint Ghost into a box. There music just spans so many different genres. My family and I saw Ghost this year also, They are absolutely amazing live! Tobias knows how entertain and fully play up his characters. I cant wait to see them again.
The best description I have seen of Ghost so far...
Hey, atheist here, but I love your reply. You're alright, man. Unitarian?
it always confounds people when Ghost sounds softer than their theme builds expectations of, but consider this... the devil isnt going to threaten you or scare you... he is going to allure you, seduce you, convince you that he is on your side, and that is why Ghost sounds poppy, to attract more listeners and because it fits the gimmick of the band.
Tbh i still think it's weird how Many people miss that point, it's just looking at the way papa moves and phrases his singing, and trading the lyrics it's obvious the character it's a cult leader that "allures" his followers
"I was not expecting that!" -- everyone on hearing Ghost for the first time.
And also every time you listen to a new Ghost track 😁
They had to be Ghost BC during the release of this particular album for legal reasons. (US only). It has since been cleared up and now only go by Ghost. The BC stuff was a thing for like 6 months.
BC standing for Because (of) Copyright 🙂
They dress like a Black metal band and sound like rock / metal ABBA.
Some recommendations :
Mary on a Cross
Cirice
Ghuleh / Zombie Queen
Rats
Dance Macabre
Hunter's Moon
Square Hammer
First, I was Lorna Shored. Then, I was Cannibalized. Now, I've been Ghosted. What a month. :)
Ghost is a great band. Hope you react to more of their content 😁
Now you have to walk through the 'Portal'😈
The interesting thing about the accent is Tobias is a Swede, but all the Papa characters are Italian, as the clergy is a mockery of the Catholic church and the Pope. So the pronunciation of 'Satan' has more of a Italian/Latin vibe. A lot of fans i've spoken to thought he was talking about the planet Saturn so it can be quite confusing
So this is on the darker side of their discography, as this whole album was. They don't get much heavier either. They're loved by so many metalheads because they're metal-adjacent, classically styled rock. Lots of the iconography and lyrical style of metal (Tobias, who basically IS Ghost is a huge old school metal fan) but in a more poppy rock style. Basically take equal parts ABBA and Slayer and you end up with Ghost. For further Ghost recommendations (from darker to more poppy) "Ritual" "Cirice" "Square Hammer" "Dance Macabre" Mary on a Cross" and "Spillways".
I was first introduced to Ghost when they supported Pearl Jam in 2013, they played this live and very much remember my initial shock! Love this band
Oh hell yeah Lauren! Finally some Ghost! Love their older stuff (like this one) moreso than their newer stuff, but such a unique and awesome band. MORE GHOST PLZ!
And especially their live performances, I might add.
Welcome to mainstream Satanism, lol.
More Ghost!! I recommend Cirice next!!!
Uh ooh, another rabbit hole...
Btw, didn't Fredrik from Opeth play a large part of the lead guitars on Ghost's latest album?
Awesome band anyway =)
Yes indeed he did ! And Mikael played the ending of a song on the album before (Helvetesfonster).
YESSS, GHOST 🙏🏻
Ghost is a really nice rabbit hole to fall down :)
*FOR HALLOWEEN 🎃 GHOST - HUNTERS MOON* Is about Michael Myers
Well I picked Cirice from Ghost
Which I thought fit Halloween
But eh we got this one 😅
From the Pinnacle to the Pit is one I would recommend from Ghost! You’re great as always! Hail October!
To be fair, satin is really nice feeling. I wouldn't fault people for choosing to wrap themselves in it.
It's pretty standard fare for them. And not a bad starting place at all. Fantastic song from a great album. Your mileage may vary track to track, but generally speaking you can't really go wrong with Ghost. It's pretty much all fun, catchy and well written stuff absolutely slathered in occult and horror tropes. Created to be "THE BAND" that everyone was freaking out about during the Satanic Panic in the 80s/90s.
Good stuff!
Ghost is awesome! So glad you're hearing it. Their song that most match Spooktober is Cirice, in my opinion.
This song is a monster live. Best gig I’ve seen in maybe ever a few weeks ago in Sydney.
If you react to more start out with their older songs! anything from opus eponymous to meliora (the first 3 albums). this range of time is when they were putting out their best music imo. prequelle is good too.
Perfectly said
Finally Ghost!! Ahh you'll love them..this band is an obsession for me, music, lyrics, the story..all papas 😁 and ghouls..please you need to listen more..🖤
My suggestion for the next song:
Cirice
Square Hammer
Faith
Elizabeth
Con Clavi Con Dio
This video gets a couple of lyrics wrong, always bugged me. I love Ghost. We did some karaoke at band practice two days ago. I sang Con Clavi Con Dio. Hint hint wink wink.
Ghost is a satirical band. They mock religion, politics, culture, you name it. The stuff on the surface are metaphors for other issues.
An actual great intro to Ghost. Too many things to type in a comment. I wish we were just having an out loud conversation. I'd say "He Is". For recommend.
Two great songs back to back! Type O may be my favorite band of all time and Ghost may be my favorite recent band. Loving these reviews. Keep of the great work.
I just started watching you this week but love your music choices so far. Ghost is amazing.
Answering questions even though this video was 8 months ago and you probably got answers.
- They are Swedish, that is where they originated from + They came to America, And in America they were not allowed to use just "Ghost" so they had to go with "Ghost BC" due to that. But you can just call them Ghost because everyone else does.
- They're a Swedish Satanic Rock Band so maybe that's why Year Zero sounded sorta funny? or why it surprised you? idk how else to explain it.
- Fun fact if no one told you this, The Ghouls have new uniforms everytime a Papa is no longer one, So the outfits of the Ghouls change. Which means they no longer look like that now. P.S the Ghouls are the people that were behind Papa Emeritus III. I forgot to add that there are Ghoulettes which just basically mean female Ghouls that are in the band.
- Fun fact 2: There is a lore behind Ghost and every Papa sounds different but it is the same person playing all the Papas.
Your channel just popped up in my feed thanks to this video! Obviously I watch a lot of Ghost reactions. 😆 Everyone says the same thing about them sounding different than what their appearance would suggest, and I definitely get it. Their sound has evolved a lot over the last decade, and many other comments cover that quite well. As far as their genre, Ghost doesn't stick to a single genre, which I believe is part of what makes them stand out. Now for my blasphemy amongst Ghost fans - Year Zero isn't in my top 10 or even 15 Ghost songs. I would recommend Square Hammer, Faith, Absolution, Rats, Witch Image, Mummy Dust, Call Me Little Sunshine, Spillways, and Hunter's Moon, in no particular order.
Ghost B.C. was due to some copyrights issues in the US. After a few years it was sorted and he could use the regular Ghost name for US releases.
they have several different sounds! and no one can really agree what genre they are lol. for newer songs by them, check out “cirice”, “square hammer”, or “spillways”. for older ones, listen to “ritual” or “elizabeth”.
You were right about new people being here because of Ghost, please do more Ghost! Your reactions are beautiful ahhaa and you'll love (hopefully) everything they do. I honestly can't think of a meh song they might have. Subbed!
I haven't really kept up with Ghost, but cool fact for you. I believe I saw an article that said Fredrik Akesson from Opeth helped with Ghost's new album.
Coming in late, but just in case nobody else has mentioned it, this lyric video gets some of the lyrics wrong.
"When men exist to burn" is actually "when penance is to burn."
"Say the words that you heard" is actually "say the words that you learn."
"Overlord of flies" is actually "Now behold the lord of flies."
"Travel the nations" is actually "tremble the nations."
Great reaction. Thanks so much!
The band and its leader is Swedish but when playing papa he speaks in exaggerated Italian accent especially papa II here
Ghost puts on a really good concert too, and recently they released a live video for their song Mary On A Cross from their recent Tampa, FL show and you might check that one out.
Otherwise I'd recommend their songs: Rats, Cirice, He Is, and Hunter's Moon
Two of my favorite bands, TOOL and Slipknot have evolved over time but still sound like TOOL and Slipknot even as they changed. Ghost, my third favorite band, is VERY different. They've changed genres practically every album & every EP. You never know what they're going to do next. For all we know their 6th album will be country or jazz or electronic or death metal. There is no way to predict it. That's why I love them so much. And yet they always sound like Ghost somehow but a Ghost that changes genres ever few years. Their 2022 album is basically hardrock/pop metal.
I would say that they're a modern classic rock band with a metal aesthetic and a very cool horror-themed story from album to album. Are most of their lyrics Satanic? Yes, blatantly because of the overall story. Is it serious? No, it's a story and many of the songs are very tongue-in-cheek and full of euphemisms, think Type-O-Negative. For example, the song Monstrance Clock has a very literal meaning, but I prefer the humor of the other one.
They aren't really a metal band, but lots of metalheads like them, but that also means that lots of metalheads hate them just for that reason lol
My dear, Sweden is a real brooding ground of really good musicians per capita. It's like the only good thing about Sweden, the music! 🤗
Thanks for an awesome upload. ❤️
A fun song is "Danse Macabre." It's super enjoyable, extremely upbeat, and brings back memories of epic 80s rock.
Ghost good… Lauren good…. I’m here
:)
I'm pretty sure you have all your videos ready for Halloween, but if you have an opening I would suggest "Good Mourning/Black Friday" by Megadeth
You guys, why has she not listened to Pisces by Jinjer yet??? Totally missing out.
Because I heard it a long time ago. Like everyone else. :)
@@MusicCatsandCoffee oh, I looked through your entire video list and didn't see a reaction video. I would have liked to see that.
Watcher In the Sky. Dance Macabre. Cirice. Square Hammer. Rats. Kaisarion. Spillways. Mummy Dust.
Ghost best band of this decade, simple.
Agreed! Personally, I'd say Ghost, Avatar, and Jinjer are the three best bands of the past decade. All equally.
This is 80's rock to me, kinda clever to have satanic lyrics with an almost pop sound.
I’m so confused with the Ghost is Satanic/Ghost is not Satanic conversation. As someone that grew up Catholic, I don’t know where to land on them. Everything I have heard from them is like this - soft vocals, kind of dancy, Satanic references. I liked “Call Me Little Sunshine” from their new album.
They ain't really satanic they just kind of like making of fun of the whole religion because of how crazy it is & how people act with it
@@HellSpartanZThe band is themed after fictional theistic Satanism and in that regard their theming is directly theistically Satanic (if however obviously fictional) but the band/lyrics also expresses a lot of Tobias personal viewpoints that you can find interviews of him talking about. His personal views are very analogous to modern Satanism even if he may not directly identify himself as such. Modern Satanism is a form of atheism that espouses personal strength, opposing tyranny, independence, denouncing idiocy, sexual freedom/revolution, and calling out harmful superstitions such as organized religion.
Modern Satanism is as far as I'm aware the only religion that does this outside of atheism itself which is not actually a religion. All of these are easily seen themes within all of Ghosts albums. So Ghost is actually very much Satanic even if Tobias might not go so far as personally endorsing Satanism.
Even that is arguable as Tobias himself has personally said things such as that he essentially embraced the devil in his teenage years. Ghost would be Satanic even if they never mentioned a single thing that was diabolic in nature (and they do). It's just not hard to see the parallels unless you either aren't aware of what you would need to know to see them or you just don't want to see them because it would offend you. The reality is that making fun of religion for being crazy is quite literally the most Satanic thing you can do. That's according to Satanism itself so it's directly from the mouth of the goat.
If it being Satanic bothers you/the original commentor I would suggest developing some tolerance and learning more about modern Satanism as it is essentially a form of humanism which is a very morally worthy set of values to have. Hail Satan.
Currently watching from Gothenburg, Sweden 🇸🇪 You need to do an Avatar reaction
Square Hammer is definitely a must listen!
Square Hammer, Rats, Circe, Pinnacle To The Pit, Marry On A Cross, He Is, Faith. I can go on but I'll stop there
Ghost is an awesome band, but this is not a particularly good song. I would suggest you listen to Square Hammer and watch the official video. Also suggest Spillways and Dance Macabre. Love your channel ✌️
Where is the original *video* in this clip?!..
It's funny because the first time I heard "Year Zero" it wasn't much to my liking... But today it's one of my favorite Ghost songs.
I think the 'french Indie' thing might be a production quirk, I think I can see some similarities with stuff by a band called Stereolab
Ghost makes rocking about the devil cool. Not evey song is devil centric but its like 70% of what they do. Try Spillways, it's a good jam that has an 80s sound
Nice mentioning the 80's vibe. You will find that was your comment striking at the core of Ghost, ofc with even older influences.
Their genre is kind of a modern take on Blue Oyster Cults style of hard rock. Very theatrical and peppy while also dark and creepy. It’s supposed to be a take on what it would be like if satanist had their own version of “Christian Rock” like skillet and switch foot. Making it heavy metal kind of goes against the theme because their whole thing is using music to seduce and recruit the masses through catchy melodies and memorable riffs.
My favourite answer to give when someone asks what genre Ghost are is "Scooby Doo music" thanks to that one 4chan post. It's always fun to me to see people looking at the band's visual aesthetic and expect their sound to be a lot harder than it is, because that's the exact reaction I had to Kiss when I was a kid. My parents' generation though they were "Satanic"?????? lmfao
They're not really metal. More hard rock, IMO. Have some similarities to Blue Oyster Cult as far as their sound. Monstrance Clock is a good song to check out
This song too me doesn't represent Ghost IMO. Listen to Spillways.
I don't think they are talking about sheets wink. I recommend a song called He is by Ghost
Hello. Swedish metal fan here. Love to sing this chorus loud at the concerts... seen them live a bunch of times!
I call their first three records ‘acid rock’, like the bands of whom they remind me: Blue Öyster Cult, etc.
They often make catchy songs. Some groovy 60's hippie rock, some 70's disco, some 80's heavy metal. Very broad.
Well, the genre could be described as Occult Metal or by haters Scooby Doo Chase Music. You should listen to the other stuff. The newer ones are more catchier than the older ones, but the old ones have more of the occult vibe.
Best Halloween song video, "Dance Macabre"! 😁
Don't mind me mate but that black eyeshadow fits u very well mate 😊
Slayer wishes they could make music so satanic . All while being pop lol
He Is with the music video will give the perfect vibe to understand modern Ghost, this was made when they were trying for a more Doom metal tone
So..Über-Angels are OK - if They can fly?
heres the truth, there famous and you aint even a grain of sand in comparison, so get over yourself, im sick of reactors acting like there opinions have any meaning, thats why i only enjoy reactors that analyse songs rather than just say what they think
Can you also react to some Will Wood please? I'd love a Dr Sunshine is Dead or Cotard's Solution
I just wanted to say I really like your videos and Could you possibly react to lorna shore of the abyss
Another Year Zero is the one by Samael, who nobody cares about 😢.
Reacts to ghost - ritual live in rock in Rio please ✌🏽🤘🏽
been a fan a long time. year zero was the song which got me hooked 😁
I think the best ghost song for a beginner would be Dance macabre.
You must hear Rats, Faith, Mummydust, and Mary on the Cross
You're so cute, Lauren. ❤️🤗 Hahahahaha
The video has the wrong lyrics though.
He’s using a more Latin pronunciation of Satan.
Do Dance Macabre. You’re bound to love it!
Hi, I just came across your reaction an it reminds me of the misfits i
Cirice or Dance Macabre by Ghost next!
SPILLWAYS
SQUARE HAMMER
PLEASE (love your chanel btw)
Hunters moon and cirice are good too
They are amazing live.
I have to hear other songs from them to have an honest opinion
You’d make a terrible poker player.
MORE GHOST! Truly an inspiring Rock and Roll band from Sweden. Love the tounge in cheek humor too!
Awesome video!
Word Up - we live in a post genre world.
Listen to "Body and blood". Please.
Melodic Satanic or Melodic metal
The first couple months I started listening to Ghost I kept wondering, am I being trolled by this band?
😂😂😂
Abba-Metal :) indie rock with a sprinkling of black metal cheese is how I would descripe them :P
Haven't heard that much from them, but my favorites are Cirice and Square hammer.
I love Ghost :D
They are very cool
