Ghost has a backstory, characters etc. It's all tounge-in-cheek and made for fun. They're supposed to be a Satanic group, the lead singer is supposed to be the anti-pope, and the band members are just known as "ghouls" who wear masks. The actual musician line-up changes, but the lead singer (who is also the writer and main dude) stays the same. His character changes over time, so for each new album he'd be a different "anti-pope" and the style of the music will change. All their songs are about Satan, a lot of them sound like Christian rock, their older stuff was more metal. It's all for fun, nothing to take too seriously :) They even have story videos on their main channel, they're pretty funny too.
I remember when this album came out, i listened to this song and said "holy shit, they just made an evangelical protestant song about satan". And some idiot on the internet tried to pick a fight with me online saying that my take was bullshit. When this video came out i felt so vindicated. It feels good to be right. This "he" person is Satan =D
My wife grew up a devout Christian and this was the first ghost song I introduced her to. Now she's a bigger ghost fan than I am. Luckily got to see them live last year
Oh this is a different type of rabbit hole: Do From The Pinnacle to the Pit, Ritual, Cirice, Year Zero, Square Hammer, Faith, Life Eternal.... f%#& it! Do them all in order
After 20 years of the genre black, Satan worshipping metal from Scandinavia, this guy realised that "if you really did love Satan, it wouldn't be death-growls, it would be love ballads..." Well done them...
I love Ghost. I feel like the band's "backstory" makes a ton of sense as a satanic cult type thing, because what's gonna get more followers? Creepy grotesqueries or some glitz 'n glamor? Clever shit right there. Good reaction as always y'all.
Following Ghost songs are killer Cirice Faith Square Hammer Dance Macabre Rats Year Zero Ritual Take your pick. They make some pretty catchy tunes. Their live shows are wild.
Ghost has been one of my favorite bands since I first heard them the lead singer Tobias Forge is a genius he writes the lyrics composes the music he does it all they are incredible live i hope to see them one day
He says it early in the song perhaps you missed it but. The lyric is were guided by the morning star. And the "morning star" which is a reference to Lucifer the devil. A better song for you to listen to to help you to understand what we're really about, would be. Ritual, followed up by "Year Zero", I would also check out "Mummy Dust", and Ghuleh.
Welcome to my favorite band. 😁 The backstory is so epic. They are a tongue - in-cheek theatrical satanic masterpiece that will blow your mind 😛 Pleeeeease check out "Square Hammer."
Eh, I don’t know about that... I think it might be “Come Crimson Death” by Jess and the Ancient Ones. There are a lot of beautiful Satanic songs out there.
Its not really about Satan. This song was written for the band friend who committed a suicide for Satan and about lead singers brother who passed away before Ghost became popular
I also see the Jim Jones aspect of the song. Seeing as he led people like that and he was worshipped and they all committed suicide because he said they needed to, and he is wearing the aviator sunglasses like Jim Jones used to always wear, plus the hairstyle is similar. To me it has a lot of different meanings not just an ode to Satan.
Ghost are great. They have this whole shtic with the lead singer Tobias Forge performing and singing from the perspective of a satanic priest, pope or cardinal and play some really unique tunes. This is one of their most unusual songs, as it, as the two pointed out, parodies christian rock music, normally they go into a more heavy, but old school and synthesizer-infused direction. Quite interesting. I've been to one of their concerts and I must say, I don't think I have seen a light show greater than their's.
Love Ghost! They also put on a hell of a live show too! This is totally another rabbit hole to go down if you read up on the back story and lore. You mentioned Jim Jones, you should check out the song about him by SKYND.
He didn’t paint the inside of his mouth, it’s a mask. Also, because I’m commenting halfway through the video: it’s a play in Christian worship music but about Satan.
Cirice, you deeeeeeefinitely have to give that a listen, and ABSOLUTELY give "Call me little sunshine a listen (especially the Jimmy Kimmel show performance) absolutely stunning. I listen to every genre, this stuff is amazing.
Ghost is one of my favorite bands. I love the mythology they've built. I was raised in a religious home, but it didn't really stick. Seeing Ghost play this live, a few years ago was very close to a religious experience, though. Maybe I should be concerned. But then again, maybe not. Carry on, guys!
GHOST is hands down the one band that’s made me believe in metal being fun and creative again..🖤🖤 Check out literally anything by them! The songs about Satan, the band is a play on the Catholic Church and it’s absurdity. It’s fire man
Why do I think if I brought a rig to do some dabs with The Trash Talkers we'd have a hella time? Always love your great vibes bros. Keep on keeping on with what you're doing!
Great video as always. Your intro always makes me happy, keep your positive energy! Also do some Orden Ogan - In The Dawn Of The AI. You're in for a treat, trust me.
I've heard Scooby Doo chase music, I've heard Satanic ABBA. But a mix of "Violent Jay, Shaggy 2 Dope, and Sting?" That's a new one. Not that I'm complaining, that juxtaposition is hilarious.
First time I ever heard these guys was live! Waiting for Deftones at a festival.. haha! I was so very confused, some substances I imbibed may have made it a little more intense than usual but.. they were epic!!!
Welcome to Ghost brothers! They are awesome and have a ton of great videos and songs (Cirice, Square Hammer, Rats, Dance Macabre). Also, check out the band Church of the Cosmic Skull - the song i recommend is Evil in Your Eye.
Oh, you picked a good one. Every person in your comment section familiar with this band are now clamoring for the other songs in their discography. I want to see it too, but I know you'll get there on your own. It will definitely be a fun ride.
ghost do wear mask they got alot of good song, square hammer(official video)or year zero(official video),cirice (official video) i just found this group about 2 years ago i just love them
The lyrics to this song were written after Selim Lemouchi of the band The Devil's Blood committed suicide. That band is also definitely worth checking out, with songs like 'She', 'I'll be your ghost' and 'Christ or cocaine'.
You guys have eclectic tastes. Great to see you enjoying a variety of music. You should react to Steam Powered Giraffe, the song/video for Honeybee. I think you'd totally enjoy it.
Damn I was really hoping the first Ghost song you heard was Cirice (the song that win them a Grammy) - this song always makes people think Ghost is “pretty” while Cirice is “ominous”. Oh well, this song is good too. Welcome to Ghost, dudesz
Every Ghost song has multiple meanings, which is why it's hard to pinpoint exactly what they're talking about. Take "He Is" for example. 1. On the surface, it's about Satan, but usually there is a deeper meaning to a Ghost song. 2. It's also about one of Tobias' (the singer) friends from another band who died. 3. It also used to be called "She Is," indicating some past meaning possibly not referenced in the current lyrics. 4. It's also about Tobias' brother who died. His brother got him into "rebellious" music. 5. It's also about Christian cult leaders like Jim Jones and Tony Alamo (there is a split second photo of Alamo in the video). 6. In conjunction with point #5, it could also be about God (or rather Ghost's perception of God), especially in the Catholic church. When you sing the words, "he's the shining in the light without whom I cannot see," there's nothing wrong with that. Then when you sing, "he is insurrection, he is spite, he's the force that made me be," suddenly there's a problem. You're singing those words blindly to a cult leader or a god. While it sounds great musically, you're praising someone who is actually evil and is screwing you.
I'm a bit late to the party, but I'd like to suggest 'Moongate' by Samael. I doubt you'll find a fancy video for it, but the vibes might just cover for the lack visuals.
GHOST! more GHOST please. The small glitch in the video is the clue as to who Papa Emeritus 3 is referring to but you must freeze frame the still frame that was added to the video for your answer.
Ghost is so dope. Y'all would definitely enjoy Square Hammer or Dance Macabre.
I was thinking the same damn thing
Best two Ghost songs. Plus Cirice
But there is their instrumental song called Miasma, and I have a suspicion those guys would really like it.
Square Hammer is a fucking banger. Every Ghost song is great though.
Should also do Rats or From the Pinnacle to the Pit
Ghost has a backstory, characters etc. It's all tounge-in-cheek and made for fun. They're supposed to be a Satanic group, the lead singer is supposed to be the anti-pope, and the band members are just known as "ghouls" who wear masks.

🤣 pretty much sums it up, man. Love this band and love the way they mess with everyone. We all take ourselves too seriously.
I love it already
@@smokeyrameriz478 Oh yeah...each album has it's own feel, you'll fucking love it I'm sure.
Papa Emeritus I/II/III and most recently Cardinal Copia. All the same guy: Tobias Forge.
@@smward87 Its not Cardinal anymore. A couple of months ago he got promoted to Papa
I remember when this album came out, i listened to this song and said "holy shit, they just made an evangelical protestant song about satan".
And some idiot on the internet tried to pick a fight with me online saying that my take was bullshit.
When this video came out i felt so vindicated. It feels good to be right.
This "he" person is Satan =D
Ich Bin Ein Warher Satan
GHOST: YEAR ZERO, IS AMAZING SONG !!
Oh yes.
I want to see them hear it.
Make it happen!
yeees yeees plz
My wife grew up a devout Christian and this was the first ghost song I introduced her to. Now she's a bigger ghost fan than I am. Luckily got to see them live last year
Oh this is a different type of rabbit hole:
Do From The Pinnacle to the Pit, Ritual, Cirice, Year Zero, Square Hammer, Faith, Life Eternal.... f%#& it! Do them all in order
Year Zero.. definitely something for them haha. Maybe Ghost could become a regular buzz??
Will do
Year zero LIVE with papa III 2016 Hell fest is amazing!
And Elizabeth....
After 20 years of the genre black, Satan worshipping metal from Scandinavia, this guy realised that "if you really did love Satan, it wouldn't be death-growls, it would be love ballads..."
Well done them...
And I'm not sure if the band would agree but the best way to infuse Satan into the minds of youth? Make it big and poppy and unavoidable. Noice...
Cough...Who has the Best Entertainment? age 37 is a MFr...
I love Ghost. I feel like the band's "backstory" makes a ton of sense as a satanic cult type thing, because what's gonna get more followers? Creepy grotesqueries or some glitz 'n glamor? Clever shit right there. Good reaction as always y'all.
Following Ghost songs are killer
Cirice
Faith
Square Hammer
Dance Macabre
Rats
Year Zero
Ritual
Take your pick. They make some pretty catchy tunes. Their live shows are wild.
Ghost takes a twisted theme, and puts a positive sound to it. My favorite thing about them! So chilling
Ghost has been one of my favorite bands since I first heard them the lead singer Tobias Forge is a genius he writes the lyrics composes the music he does it all they are incredible live i hope to see them one day
Ghost is bad ass. You HAVE to watch Cirice, Faith, & Square Hammer
He says it early in the song perhaps you missed it but. The lyric is were guided by the morning star. And the "morning star" which is a reference to Lucifer the devil. A better song for you to listen to to help you to understand what we're really about, would be. Ritual, followed up by "Year Zero", I would also check out "Mummy Dust", and Ghuleh.
You guys have to do Cirice and Year Zero by Ghost!
i love this band. they are super into their fans too. and seeing them live? its amazing, tyhe way he brings the crowd into the music.
This is one of my new favorite RUclips shows, y’all are so entertaining, I love the commentary
Welcome to my favorite band. 😁 The backstory is so epic. They are a tongue - in-cheek theatrical satanic masterpiece that will blow your mind 😛 Pleeeeease check out "Square Hammer."
Btw- yes the song is supposed to be a hymn to Satan. But it's not meant to be taken seriously 😜
This is the most beautiful song about Satan thats ever been written
Eh, I don’t know about that... I think it might be “Come Crimson Death” by Jess and the Ancient Ones. There are a lot of beautiful Satanic songs out there.
Its not really about Satan. This song was written for the band friend who committed a suicide for Satan and about lead singers brother who passed away before Ghost became popular

That's left on record anyway.
Nice to be recognized
Fuck yea! again the picks are on point. Watch you guys everyday you're killing it!
No joke, I love the intro. How you guys admitted to bringing this to one another’s attention with a simple guessing game and then BAM video starts..
Ghost are great. They have this whole shtic with the lead singer Tobias Forge performing and singing from the perspective of a satanic priest, pope or cardinal and play some really unique tunes.

I've been to one of their concerts and I must say, I don't think I have seen a light show greater than their's.
I love Ghost! Y’all definitely should listen to them more.
Young men.. I’m an 85 child..,, speaking for his older generation, you get it. It is sensual, relevant, your great group of kids!!!
Yes! We older folks live these guys as much as we love Ghost! At 54, I’m rocking!
Love Ghost! They also put on a hell of a live show too! This is totally another rabbit hole to go down if you read up on the back story and lore.
You mentioned Jim Jones, you should check out the song about him by SKYND.
I saw Ghost play 2 years ago with Bad Wolves, STP, Sevendust and Five Finger Death Punch headlining. It was a great show.
Not a Ghost fan but still supporting the channel
He didn’t paint the inside of his mouth, it’s a mask. Also, because I’m commenting halfway through the video: it’s a play in Christian worship music but about Satan.
Yah they seemed to pay no attention to the Beast with many names line right in the first verse of the song.
@@jasonedwards9644 oh yea we got that
@@Hollywood6IX Then you hid it well
@@jasonedwards9644 The guidance of the morning stars.... LOL
Their live shows are fantastic!!! More of a theatrical performance than concert. From pinnacle to the pit is a good one!
Cirice, you deeeeeeefinitely have to give that a listen, and ABSOLUTELY give "Call me little sunshine a listen (especially the Jimmy Kimmel show performance) absolutely stunning. I listen to every genre, this stuff is amazing.

Carry on, guys!
My first Ghost song was "Square Hammer". Since then i LOVE this band...
me too
Love this group. But still pushing for Puscifer "Conditions of my Parole" the director's cut video. Keep up the good work.
Or rev 20:22. Amazingly sickening song
Coming right up
@@Hollywood6IX hell yeah!
Fun fact; All the church members are Ghost fans who lived in the area they filmed the video.
Great reaction as always
Fuck yessss! So glad you opened the book of Ghost! You guys got some good reading ahead of you!!! Listen to year zero!!!!!
I love you guys!!! 😂❤ New suscriber!!
GHOST is hands down the one band that’s made me believe in metal being fun and creative again..🖤🖤
Check out literally anything by them!
The songs about Satan, the band is a play on the Catholic Church and it’s absurdity.
It’s fire man
Why do I think if I brought a rig to do some dabs with The Trash Talkers we'd have a hella time? Always love your great vibes bros. Keep on keeping on with what you're doing!
this is amaazing! but also from Ghost, try giving a listen to 'Deus in Absentia'. It's from Meliora, same album.
This group is classic already.⚓😎
66 w/m 1st time I heard this song I stay on it a week; I love this band! He is!
He is the disobedience that holds us together.
I love you guys and ghost... Great job
Great video as always. Your intro always makes me happy, keep your positive energy!
Also do some Orden Ogan - In The Dawn Of The AI. You're in for a treat, trust me.
I’d recommend the Ghost songs “Elizabeth” and “From the Pinnacle to the Pit” for you to do next-they’re my top three, along with “He Is”.
Welcome year zero, they won a Grammy for the song Cirice!!
I've heard Scooby Doo chase music, I've heard Satanic ABBA.
But a mix of "Violent Jay, Shaggy 2 Dope, and Sting?"
That's a new one. Not that I'm complaining, that juxtaposition is hilarious.
First time I ever heard these guys was live! Waiting for Deftones at a festival.. haha! I was so very confused, some substances I imbibed may have made it a little more intense than usual but.. they were epic!!!
Ghost is awesome
P.s. ghost is a satanic band fyi
Good ol' hymn for the devil lol. Damn i love this band. Try the songs "Square Hammer", "Cirice" or "Rats". Great stuff
They are amazing live.
From the Pinnacle to the Pit is another great Ghost song. Something about the bassline reminds me of Hip Hop but I can't put my finger on what it is.
That bassline is sick!!!
I think it's my favorite baseline from all their songs. It's just so catchy and groovy.
Mummy Dust by Ghost. Another definite must listen to song for sure.
Oh yeah. Props for the wrestling and icp reference
Do Square, Hammer by ghost
Kick ass reaction!
Year Zero. Stand By Him. Dance Macabre. You cant go wrong with any of these
Definitely more GHOST 🙏🙏🙏😇
Is so entertaining love that so much ❤️🤘
Interesting reaction 😬💋
I seen Ghost twice in concert, he is definitely a showman
Yeeeaaah! more Ghost
Love the chat after. Y'all do podcast?
You gotta do more Ghost. Square Hammer, Cirice, Rats, and Dance Macabre are amazing.
A single word sums up the meaning of this song: the word is SCIENCE.
Ghost is awesome. Love their shtick. Definitely check out more of their music.
Welcome to Ghost brothers! They are awesome and have a ton of great videos and songs (Cirice, Square Hammer, Rats, Dance Macabre). Also, check out the band Church of the Cosmic Skull - the song i recommend is Evil in Your Eye.
Monstrous clock by 👻
Love this band....!!
Next NEEDS to be the Dance Macabre official music video because it's a Halloween song AND it's a very 80's feel. And the music video is DOPE
Oh, you picked a good one. Every person in your comment section familiar with this band are now clamoring for the other songs in their discography. I want to see it too, but I know you'll get there on your own. It will definitely be a fun ride.
ghost do wear mask they got alot of good song, square hammer(official video)or year zero(official video),cirice (official video) i just found this group about 2 years ago i just love them

Ghost is soooooo good i can't even begin to tell everyone !!!
Nice ICP reference! From Detroit.
You guys have eclectic tastes. Great to see you enjoying a variety of music. You should react to Steam Powered Giraffe, the song/video for Honeybee. I think you'd totally enjoy it.
I used to think ghost was a satire band, I listened alot on the way to work. One dark morning driving and listening I started hearing demonic voices.
Cool🤟🤟🤟👍
So good ❤
You guys should probably listen to Faith by Ghost next. One of my favorite songs by them
Damn I was really hoping the first Ghost song you heard was Cirice (the song that win them a Grammy) - this song always makes people think Ghost is “pretty” while Cirice is “ominous”. Oh well, this song is good too. Welcome to Ghost, dudesz
Damn I love y’all!!
"Oh, it's not about Christians, but it's certainly about clergy."
Also - Jim Jones aviators.
Ghost are from Sweden.
You guys should do, Type O Negative "Christian Woman" the longer version
That fucking intro bro! Made me nearly die choking on coffee.
In a good or bad way…
@@BoiledPot Yes
Hell yes finally lmao

Year zero is the one to listen to dudes.
Still waiting on some more Ghost reactions guys
I really like Ghost. Secular Haze and Year Zero are just a few of my favorites. You should react to Kiss the go goat.
😂😂😂😂 more Ghost please.
Proud swede!! Very abba influenced this one. Ghost is fire❤
I completely agree... they're all cults. LOL
I also agree that Ghost is rad!
I’m so delighted y’all “got it”. He is supposed to look like Jim Jones, or any number of Evangelical TV priests!
YAAAAAAY, GHOST!!!!
would love some more ghost music!
They should react to Avatar Smells like a freak show and I love you guys you guys always make may days better keep up the good work
They like wrestling. I told them to check out Torn Apart.
Have you done “popular monster”- from falling in reverse?
Probably my favorite Ghost song
There's alot of songs of theirs worth checking out year zero faith dues in absentia secular haze life eternal
Square hammer, cirice, dance macarbe, Elizabeth. Are good basic places to start for ghost.
GHOST! more GHOST please. The small glitch in the video is the clue as to who Papa Emeritus 3 is referring to but you must freeze frame the still frame that was added to the video for your answer.
