If you are a Ghost fan, you hope that they will never take off their masks. Now he did it. Painful and heartbreaker moments. And what can we do? Accept his decision. Thank you for the time you've spent with us as Omega.We'll miss you forever.
Omega was always my fave Ghost guitarist, just so melodic playing with perfect phrasing and what a showman such stage presence. Martin you're a fantastic guitarist and great songwriter and seem a very kind humble man .I wish MCC further success!
I have seen a"nameless ghoul" doing a stomping thing in a newer Ghost live performance, BUT, I am sure it is NOT Omega. Unless it IS, BUT, I doubt it. I do wonder just what happened between Tobias and the old Ghouls. They were friends for SO LONG.
@@juliegogola4647 i believe the current stompy ghoul is fire/dewdrop, a recently added ghoul after omega left, otherwise known as Per "sodomizer" Erikkson.
@@haydenymph I MUST say that OMEGA (aka Martin Persner) IS very much LOVED, BUT, he is NOT in many Ghost vids after MAYBE 2017 or 2018. I am NOT clear as of which vids he may be in and not be in. I have seen that "Per Eriksson" has played the lead guitar (White colored LEAD Guitar) in most vids after 2016 -2017 once Omega had stopped being in Ghost. Martin is in MCC now, and GHost has had several other musicians playing, BUT REALLY, I am wanting to know just who the NEW Ghouls may be. I guess IF Tobias doesn't want to say just whom they are, as long as they are singing it all GREAT, and I can totally respect that.
@@haydenymph I've heard of him, just NOT the whole "sodomizer" part, geez now, I wonder just HOW he got that name, hmmmm......I DO wonder WHY is he "stomping" that was Omega's thing. He needs a good slap for doing it, well, In MY opinion.
Martin,ARE YOU MARTIN PERSNER?!I CANT THANK YOU ENOUGH FOR YOUR TIME IN GHOST.Sorry for whatever reason you had to leave,it hurts you are not there anymore.😭
Martin, me and thousands of Ghost fans want to thank you so much for the way you gave personality and color to a nameless figure. You are inspiring, and we wish you and MCC the best. We follow you. Keep it up and always remember: you are the dancing queen.
Ghost will never be the same without Omega and Alpha you ghouls did it right you will be forever missed and never forgotten thanks for all the great music and stomps rock on !
It was an honor to meet Martin after a show last year before his departure. I'm so thankful I saw him play at so many Ghost shows over the years. He's definitely missed!
I must have watched this hundreds of times and it always brings tears to my eyes. Tears of joy! It is funny how a man you have never met and probably never will meet can give such joy and fantasy! From the best stomps ever to the quietest moments I will always be a fan!🖤
I followed ghost since 2011 I went to his concert in 2012 at sonisphere I saw a guitarist who caught my attention with his guitar with the omega logo from that moment you inspired me to play the electric guitar I also saw you in 2014 at the vorterix and in 2016 tuskas I will never forget your steps your scenic part on stage for me you will always be the original omega no matter how much tobias has never recognized you and they have fought you put your part in ghost and thanks to voice martin persner ghost is where thanks martin persner for becoming a musician and learning to play the electric guitar thanks martin I will follow you in the bands that you are always once again thanks Martin Persner alias omega :') long life mcc
You're a lucky guy. Vorterix is one of the best shows by ghost ever. If you're talking about vorterix 2014 of course. Really cool see that omega inspired you to become a guitar player.
Their identities are pretty much known but you can never be 100% sure. The only purpose of this video is to gain publicity to MCC. I understand that he deserves the recognition since he has been in a successful band BUT the fact that they hid their identities was one of the things that make/made Ghost so mysterious, so in that point of view this is a bit of dick move. Don't know what the background of his departure from Ghost is tho, and I would've done the same, because he isn't as known as he should be.
Because it kind of makes Ghost look like every other band, which is not their thing. Ghost's thing is to be a really mysterious show, and one part of that is the anonymity of the members. Yeah, we know pretty much who they are but they haven't made any public announcements about that. Yeah, he kind of deserves the recognition for being in such a successful band but hey, I think he knew what he signed for? Also, I don't think anyone in Ghost gives a shit about the very little revenue that MCC gives them. Ghost is like a hundred thousand times bigger band than MCC will ever be (not hating, just facts)
Thanks for everything Martin, or Omega as I met you for a few years. I will certainly miss you in Ghost, but I wish you luck. Success to MCC. We love you!
You seem so sad. You are so missed in Ghost. Ghost is not the same without you. I wish you lots of best wishes and success in your new projects and I wish you nothing but happiness throughout your life. Thank you, thank you for all you did for Ghost. For me. Ghost got me through some really dark times. You are truly missed and Ghost just isn't the same... 💔😢
Listening to Martin here, brings me back to those great interviews he used to do with Ghost, when all we could see were his beautiful eyes. I love to hear him laugh!
I don't usually comment on videos, but this... THANK YOU SIR, THANK YOU SO MUCH for all the wonderful music you did, and for all the wonderful music you will continue doing... Most of all THANK YOU for being such an honest and beautiful soul
I am lucky to have seen you as part of Ghost...even though you were nameless, your heart always showed through your performances. So sad that you are no longer there, but so happy you are still making awesome music. The new track is great!
Martin, I checked this out to make sure this was true. I am 52 years old and I have never been so fired up by a band as I have with GHOST. Have seen you three times at the Pageant in St. Louis. The most exciting band to come around in a LONG time.
I’m just discovering Ghost within the past few months, with Live at Feeds Studios being My first exposure. Your expressiveness won Me because, as a player, you FELT every note and chord- yes, CHORDS! Not just power chords!!! I have to say that your playing affected Mine. And it’s been forever since I could say that! Now also a MCC fan!
Glad you were able to get exposed to Ghost to now hear what MCC is all about. Hearing new music and artists can be therapeutic. As a former musician, I totally get what you mean by feeling every note and chord. This is definitely present in both Ghost and MCC.
Dusk is an incredible track that builds us up for an incredible track dying option, I love how it’s playing in the background 5 years before the release of the album. Legends!
Stunned by the openness of this video and a first to publicly talk about being part of the band. This is great move Martin. I am happy knowing Magna Carta Cartel is a project being returned to also TID which you did not mention. This must have been hard. Thanks for being so open Martin! Continue your great work I'm sure many of us are behind you with this move. I am. Take care.
ebeka, Time is correct as Doom mentioned. Tid translates to Time in Swedish. Time Is Divine is an extension of the name and used as an aka I believe. Also used to identify them easier on the web? If this is wrong, please let me know. Their website is timeisdivine.com and facebook.com/timeisdivine thesignrecords.bandcamp.com/album/tid-fix-id
I hope you see this comment. I hope you know that you've really changed the way I look at my guitar and the way I think about music. Thank you for breaking me out of a massive rut, I was in it for years before I heard your work in ghost. I'll be more than glad to look at your projects for years to come.
I saw Ghost live in 2015...October 2nd to be exact. In fact my avatar is a pic I took from that very show lol. Thank you Mr. Persner for your contributions to Ghost. That music will live on forever as some of the most bitchin Heavy music ever. One thing I will point out that I will sincerely miss: That loud stomp you would do on the stage that I could easily hear over the music! He did it three times right in front of me and I will sincerely miss it. I don't blame you for coming out in full view. I actually respect it. I originally heard about your leaving last year but it was hard for me to believe. I hope the quality of music doesn't go down for them. Sincerely, thanks! Good luck with MCC and I will most certainly be watching out for new material!
I'm like new to Ghost and MCC and stuff but thank you anyways! I had so much fun with watching old Interviews and concerts. Then i just stumbled upon MCC and loved it! So thanks for your work in Ghost, Omega! And i wish good luck with MCC in the future! :]
Poor baby, I just want to give you the biggest hug imaginable. I see that there is so much pain there, but thank you for being so open. I fell in love with Ghost, and through it found so many other bands like MCC and TID and recently Priest to love. Without Ghost I wouldn't know you, but knowing your music has gotten me through tough times and will always make me happy. I will follow you and your music to the ends of the earth, you beautiful man, no matter who you play with or how far away, you will always be my Omega. Might even plan a vacation to Sweden to catch a MCC or TID show. Love you ALWAYS
Just wanted to throw this i out there in case Mr. Persner will read this comment. I don't really care what anyone else thinks about my comment, so just in case if you ever read this Martin, THANK YOU for your time in Ghost and thank you for staying true to your artistic convictions. I want to thank you for inspiring me to pick my guitar back uo and start writing music again. I played all of my life, various musical instruments and I abandoned it once I married and had a career to focus on. After nearly 10 years of no inspiration to play music I heard a song called "ritual" and for the first time in a long time I felt the need to pick up my SG and play again. Since then, I have had to re-teach myself a lot but through the process I've found something I've been missing for a very long time. Your talents in Ghost and Magna Carta Cartel has served as a catalyst in awakening a passion I lost long ago and for that my life has a renewed sense of joy. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for doing what you do. I absolutely love your MCC work and I eagerly await your next release.
It was such an honor to get to talk to you at my first Ghost show and was a fun experience to watch you play live. I will never forget that and you're greatly missed. I can't thank you enough for all you've done. Finally, thank you for being open with us and I wish you success with all your projects :3
Nice message from (Martin). May this band release many more music albums. They too need to tour Mexico and all of the Latin American countries. USA. 2022.
Martin: i'm fan of Ghost in Argentina. I want to thank you for all your work you've done (Ghost and the other bands). You are a great musician. You are my inspiration. I plays the guitar for you. Thank you for all you do and the passion you put into it. I hope to meet you some day in person and say these words :') YOU ARE MY HERO, I LOVE YOU MAN
This is part of the MCC bio information, and its probably the best inside of what happened. And Im so happy this happened so we can have more music from MCC "Around this time the band Ghost was founded, and some of the members of MCC went along and away on what would be the ride of their lives; Worldwide Success, Tours, Recordings, Parties, A King turning to Gollum, Princesses turning to Witches and Glory turning to Insanity. MCC had been put to sleep as the there was no time, energy or visions to be spared or shared for anything else but Ghost. Meanwhile, that musical message in the bottle, once sent out to the seas of sound in a last manoeuver to reach out to anyone, someone or everyone, seemed to reach the shores both here and there. People from all over started to listen to MCC [Magna Carta Cartel]. Interest was shown. Letters were written (never meaning to send). Songs and Demands were heard. Then something happened. And now, Times have changed. Tick tock. Time to wake up. Time to run. MCC Lives."
It was an honor meeting you back in May in Oklahoma. You were the nicest one out of all of the other band members and you were just so welcoming and looked past my shyness, thank you Martin. :) I'm looking forward to your new music.
Martin part of your act and your guitar playing is what got me into Ghost! Last night I saw the new lineup of Ghost along with Iron Maiden in Tampa Florida. It surely was not the same performance since when I saw you guys in Miami last year. Now listening to MCC...
This is SOOOO SAAAAAAAD!!! Martin is the most genuinely nice guy ever... It hurt the most seeing this amazing group of people, childhood friends and all, come to this situation.
we love you so much !!!!! Thank you for giving us so much. your présence on stage, your brilliant way of play. It is such à pleasure for thé ears ans the êtes !!! you are just fantastic Martin, where ever you play and what ever you play. Thank you !!!!!!
As long as I get to hear your music, it doesn't matter what band you're in. I'm super excited to hear some new MCC!! Don't be discouraged. You're best music has yet to be made.
Ghost definitely have a lot to prove with their next album. Unfortunately Omegas outstanding stage prescence cannot be replaced. It simply can not, and his way of handling his guitar on stage leaves us speechless. A lot of guitarists plays faster and more complicated, but the feeling of Omegas guitar handling as well as his theatrical moves on stage is what`s make him special. Just like Angus young, it`s hard to define what IT is, but you just now that it`s there. You don`t have to play the fastest to be the best (think about that all you shredders). There are hundreds of copies of copies of so called guitar heroes. Martin Persner is a very special artist and has nothing left to prove, just see all the love and respect he gets around the world. I hope you are well Martin, we will follow your work with MCC and TID. You've got IT big time!
That! He is an exceptional guitar player, and the swing he adds is not something Ghost will be able to emulate. They're done for me. I've felt Omega/Martin was the X-factor that drove the evolution of ghost that we saw in ~2013 to mid 2016 (you can strech it even further back, if you will). [He and the drummer that joined them at the time Meliora was being made/released.] Popestar was quite an obvious symptom - musically a step backwards compared to ,say, their previous EP "If you have ghost". I don't believe there is anything more Ghost will be able to come up with. Time will tell.
Uhmm. Is Tobias the main songwriter, lyricist, and arranger of ghost? I can imagine that he does all the instruments in the studio as well. I'm new to ghost, I heard about the band for years now, but I never listened to their music. Prequelle was like where I started. From their, I listened to their first 3 albums and etc. Prequelle for me has more songs that I like than the previous ones. But my all time fave song from ghost is from their 3rd, called Cirice. My point is, Omega was no longer with Tobias during the Prequelle era. That album is great to my ears. Tobias and ghost will live on with great music without Omega. But I feel sorry for Omega. I hope he will have success with MCC. More power to you Martin.
Martin and thank you for allowing us to experience your awesome talents as a musician and as a member of Ghost. You were entertaining and had a presence way beyond your anonymity as Omega. I am looking forward to Magnta Carta Cartel and to supporting you and your future endeavors.
I will be there Martin! In every step you do as the brilliant musician you are!. Thank you for your time! for your effort and dedication! you are admirable! I'm glad to know that the sun will rise again!. The sun of MCC!
Martin Persner, if this is genuine, the band will never be the same without you...Alpha too appears to be out along with every original member. Your style and sound are unmistakable, regardless of the mask. Ghost is/was are a phenomenal band, if you can't reconcile, that will really be a blow. Good luck.
Awww! I want to give you a hug! I am so sorry this has happened to you. I wish you could all make up and be together as Ghost again. I have only been a fan of Ghost for about 11 days, but I've been researching and watching past concerts on RUclips, and I really wish I could have seen you perform live. I will check out your band, and I will definitely buy your albums. I hope the legal issues get resolved and you and Mr. Forge can be friends again, as it looks like you guys were close. I don't know the whole story, but I hope in the end everyone involved is forgiving of each other. Mr. Persner you possess some amazing talent!
It's so hard for me to believe the 5 years have passed since this reveal. I remember so vividly the adrenaline rushing through my blood seeing him come to life for the first time. What a monumental moment in my life. So love you, Martin.
you are a huge inspiration and hero of mine. saw you at the tabernacle georgia and college street music hall in Connecticut. severely missed you on popestar tour in Charlotte. wish you all the best in the world
4/14/16 Stroudsburg, Pennsylvania.... you did an incredible job! Thank you! That night change my life, I went out and bought all the music to date after that.
7 years. that's a long time. he seemed sad to announce his participation to being part of ghost. hes been the best part of ghost during their love shows. and their interviews. I hope for the best for his future endeavours.
Thanks for the boatloads of smiles you've put on my face listening to your music. I hope your next project ends up with the recognition you deserve good sir.
So happy I got to see you several times, but to many Ghost fans you were "Stompy" fittingly so. Either way totally love MCC and had it on my phone since last year. Tried to show Par Glendor in Green Bay at the Watering Hole, eventually I did get to show him after the show out by the bus. I was more than stoked that he was there and I got his autograph right on the horn of the ghouls mask on my Heavy Music Artwork magazine. hehe (He said I was the first person he met in the US that had heard of MCC, not sure if that was true or he was just yanking my chain) But so so so glad to meet him and that you all are releasing more music.
This is for you martin,you are a very talented musician,that is a gift,in whatever band you are in or produce it's positive,no one can ever take that away from you with negative or unfair situations,you will grow,situations will become stronger,karma will come,keep moving forward as hard as it is for the moment.hugggggs to you.
one more thought on this situation,you under no circumstance call yourself down,in the situation you are in,it's the people who are behind the negative,it's them not you.
Oh Martin, I wish things were different. So teary to see you sad. You are such a talented musician. I am a decade older than you, but still madly in love with your
I met Martin after the Ghost show in Stroudsburg, Pa on April 14th. This is definitely him. I was part of the vip meet and greet and I was in a room with just them and told them something...after the concert he (martin) commented on what I had told them backstage. Yes, this is definitely him. he was fucking awesome.
Thank you so much, Martin. Your work in Ghost, TID, and MCC means so much to me. It was an absolute joy to see you live as Omega three times. Thank you again for waiting after the Ghost shows and signing my albums. I'm so happy to get new MCC material. You're an incredibly talented guy and I will follow your work no matter where you go!
Thank you for all the music, Martin! Very happy to see your face! Excited for MCC again! Always do what makes you happy & we will follow! Big hugs to you! xox
This man is an absolutely amazing rhythm guitarist. Ghost is the only band that when I'm learning how to play on the guitar, I choose to learn the lead and rhythm parts, because both are equally as fun.
Thank you for everything Martin!!!! We missed you so much and it is very nice to heard something of you after a lot of time (at least for me) Greetings and the best wishes from San Luis, Argentina :)
Listening to mcc and everything Persner has done before ghost, you can really hear how essential he was to ghost, i fear ghosts future may be much blander without him, we will miss you Martin. Thank you for everything and i will be following all you do after this
If you are a Ghost fan, you hope that they will never take off their masks. Now he did it. Painful and heartbreaker moments. And what can we do? Accept his decision. Thank you for the time you've spent with us as Omega.We'll miss you forever.
I now know what they all look like unmasked and it has definitely ruined it 😢

Martin, your stage presence is second to none. Your charisma transcended the mask. Good luck with the resurrection of MCC. I will be listening.
Thank you for your time in Ghost, Martin. And thank you for your music. MCC IS BACK

You're a lucky guy. Vorterix is one of the best shows by ghost ever. If you're talking about vorterix 2014 of course. Really cool see that omega inspired you to become a guitar player.

This video is painfully over dramatic....
It's fake.. PR stunt
Totally agree. What's up with that lame music? lol
Ghost are masters of disguise and deception. I am surprised more people dont see through this act.
should've been played the song from the animal commercials in the background
I agree. Seems like a PR stunt for MCC
I am lucky to have seen you as part of Ghost...even though you were nameless, your heart always showed through your performances. So sad that you are no longer there, but so happy you are still making awesome music. The new track is great!

@highlander50 Depressed and hurt that such a close friendship and collaboration has come to such an unhappy end, probably.
He is

I'm like new to Ghost and MCC and stuff but thank you anyways!
I had so much fun with watching old Interviews and concerts. Then i just stumbled upon MCC and loved it!
So thanks for your work in Ghost, Omega! And i wish good luck with MCC in the future! :]
Poor baby, I just want to give you the biggest hug imaginable. I see that there is so much pain there, but thank you for being so open. I fell in love with Ghost, and through it found so many other bands like MCC and TID and recently Priest to love. Without Ghost I wouldn't know you, but knowing your music has gotten me through tough times and will always make me happy. I will follow you and your music to the ends of the earth, you beautiful man, no matter who you play with or how far away, you will always be my Omega. Might even plan a vacation to Sweden to catch a MCC or TID show. Love you ALWAYS
Just wanted to throw this i out there in case Mr. Persner will read this comment. I don't really care what anyone else thinks about my comment, so just in case if you ever read this Martin, THANK YOU for your time in Ghost and thank you for staying true to your artistic convictions. I want to thank you for inspiring me to pick my guitar back uo and start writing music again. I played all of my life, various musical instruments and I abandoned it once I married and had a career to focus on. After nearly 10 years of no inspiration to play music I heard a song called "ritual" and for the first time in a long time I felt the need to pick up my SG and play again. Since then, I have had to re-teach myself a lot but through the process I've found something I've been missing for a very long time. Your talents in Ghost and Magna Carta Cartel has served as a catalyst in awakening a passion I lost long ago and for that my life has a renewed sense of joy. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for doing what you do. I absolutely love your MCC work and I eagerly await your next release.
Martin you are an awesome musician, wherever you go,you will be successful. Keep making great music.
I can't say I'm not saddened...Ghost is and will not be the same. MCC will be on my play list as well as TID....Thank You Martin-Omega
All these years later, and I still love Martin ❤️
It was such an honor to get to talk to you at my first Ghost show and was a fun experience to watch you play live. I will never forget that and you're greatly missed. I can't thank you enough for all you've done. Finally, thank you for being open with us and I wish you success with all your projects :3
Nice message from (Martin). May this band release many more music albums. They too need to tour Mexico and all of the Latin American countries. USA. 2022.
Martin: i'm fan of Ghost in Argentina. I want to thank you for all your work you've done (Ghost and the other bands). You are a great musician. You are my inspiration. I plays the guitar for you. Thank you for all you do and the passion you put into it. I hope to meet you some day in person and say these words :') YOU ARE MY HERO, I LOVE YOU MAN

This is part of the MCC bio information, and its probably the best inside of what happened. And Im so happy this happened so we can have more music from MCC
"Around this time the band Ghost was
founded, and some of the members of MCC went along and away on what
would be the ride of their lives; Worldwide Success, Tours, Recordings,
Parties, A King turning to Gollum, Princesses turning to Witches and
Glory turning to Insanity. MCC had been put to sleep as the there was no
time, energy or visions to be spared or shared for anything else but
Ghost. Meanwhile, that musical message in the bottle, once sent out to
the seas of sound in a last manoeuver to reach out to anyone, someone or
everyone, seemed to reach the shores both here and there. People from
all over started to listen to MCC [Magna Carta Cartel]. Interest was
shown. Letters were written (never meaning to send). Songs and Demands
were heard.
Then something happened. And now, Times have changed. Tick tock.
Time to wake up. Time to run. MCC Lives."
Two words,
Almighty Omega.
You are best Martin. We love you. Good luck in MCC.
It was an honor meeting you back in May in Oklahoma. You were the nicest one out of all of the other band members and you were just so welcoming and looked past my shyness, thank you Martin. :) I'm looking forward to your new music.
I always liked Omega's nameless interviews, and Martin sounds like a stand up guy. Best of luck with MCC.
Thank you Martin you are very missed and go MCC!!!!
We miss you Martin, you are my favorite guitarist really appreciate your work
Well, Ghost is not the same without you.. but i'm glad to hear that MCC is back :) .. so, good luck.. We love you!!
You probably wouldn't even have noticed if he hadn't revealed it.
Derrick Rose i noticed when he left the band last year so... go bother someone else ;)
Lady Stark We all noticed his disappearance. 😉
if you look at the guitars ever at all, you notice
When they came out with square hammer you could tell something was off.
I luv this guy... ghost is not the same without this great man!
I've met you 2 times. All my respect, you were so kind Martin.
Martin part of your act and your guitar playing is what got me into Ghost! Last night I saw the new lineup of Ghost along with Iron Maiden in Tampa Florida. It surely was not the same performance since when I saw you guys in Miami last year. Now listening to MCC...
This is SOOOO SAAAAAAAD!!! Martin is the most genuinely nice guy ever... It hurt the most seeing this amazing group of people, childhood friends and all, come to this situation.
Omega was my first favourite from the start.You are beautiful.We love you Omega and good luck!♡
we love you so much !!!!! Thank you for giving us so much. your présence on stage, your brilliant way of play. It is such à pleasure for thé ears ans the êtes !!! you are just fantastic Martin, where ever you play and what ever you play. Thank you !!!!!!
MCC again!!! I would follow Martin in whatever projects he's involved in. Looking forward to the next chapter!
As long as I get to hear your music, it doesn't matter what band you're in. I'm super excited to hear some new MCC!! Don't be discouraged. You're best music has yet to be made.
Ghost definitely have a lot to prove with their next album. Unfortunately Omegas outstanding stage prescence cannot be replaced. It simply can not, and his way of handling his guitar on stage leaves us speechless. A lot of guitarists plays faster and more complicated, but the feeling of Omegas guitar handling as well as his theatrical moves on stage is what`s make him special. Just like Angus young, it`s hard to define what IT is, but you just now that it`s there. You don`t have to play the fastest to be the best (think about that all you shredders). There are hundreds of copies of copies of so called guitar heroes. Martin Persner is a very special artist and has nothing left to prove, just see all the love and respect he gets around the world. I hope you are well Martin, we will follow your work with MCC and TID. You've got IT big time!
That! He is an exceptional guitar player, and the swing he adds is not something Ghost will be able to emulate. They're done for me. I've felt Omega/Martin was the X-factor that drove the evolution of ghost that we saw in ~2013 to mid 2016 (you can strech it even further back, if you will). [He and the drummer that joined them at the time Meliora was being made/released.] Popestar was quite an obvious symptom - musically a step backwards compared to ,say, their previous EP "If you have ghost". I don't believe there is anything more Ghost will be able to come up with. Time will tell.
I believe the drummer at that time may have been his younger brother Arvid. That explains some of the chemistry.
Doug Prazak nah, Arvid was never in Ghost. Aksel Holmgren was their drummer until late 2014 IIRC, and then Martin H. replaced him.
Uhmm. Is Tobias the main songwriter, lyricist, and arranger of ghost? I can imagine that he does all the instruments in the studio as well. I'm new to ghost, I heard about the band for years now, but I never listened to their music. Prequelle was like where I started. From their, I listened to their first 3 albums and etc. Prequelle for me has more songs that I like than the previous ones. But my all time fave song from ghost is from their 3rd, called Cirice. My point is, Omega was no longer with Tobias during the Prequelle era. That album is great to my ears. Tobias and ghost will live on with great music without Omega. But I feel sorry for Omega. I hope he will have success with MCC. More power to you Martin.
Martin and thank you for allowing us to experience your awesome talents as a musician and as a member of Ghost. You were entertaining and had a presence way beyond your anonymity as Omega. I am looking forward to Magnta Carta Cartel and to supporting you and your future endeavors.
I will be there Martin! In every step you do as the brilliant musician you are!.
Thank you for your time! for your effort and dedication! you are admirable!
I'm glad to know that the sun will rise again!. The sun of MCC!
Martin Persner, if this is genuine, the band will never be the same without you...Alpha too appears to be out along with every original member. Your style and sound are unmistakable, regardless of the mask. Ghost is/was are a phenomenal band, if you can't reconcile, that will really be a blow. Good luck.
Awww! I want to give you a hug! I am so sorry this has happened to you. I wish you could all make up and be together as Ghost again. I have only been a fan of Ghost for about 11 days, but I've been researching and watching past concerts on RUclips, and I really wish I could have seen you perform live. I will check out your band, and I will definitely buy your albums. I hope the legal issues get resolved and you and Mr. Forge can be friends again, as it looks like you guys were close. I don't know the whole story, but I hope in the end everyone involved is forgiving of each other. Mr. Persner you possess some amazing talent!
Michelle Farris Can I gave a hug?
Mike C Sending a virtual hug! 😀
I'm here for The OMEGA. Love you Martin, you are missed. Keep making music. I'll keep listening. #omegastomp
i wonder what his relationship with tobias is now
Well he is given a Thank You credit on their latest album (that said other former ghouls are NOT)
It's so hard for me to believe the 5 years have passed since this reveal. I remember so vividly the adrenaline rushing through my blood seeing him come to life for the first time. What a monumental moment in my life. So love you, Martin.
you are a huge inspiration and hero of mine. saw you at the tabernacle georgia and college street music hall in Connecticut. severely missed you on popestar tour in Charlotte. wish you all the best in the world
i miss omega. he was my favorite ghoul and he helped write some of my favorite ghost songs such as year zero and zenith
We love you Martin
Thank you Martin, and best of luck with MCC
I'm really happy to see MCC back. Cheers from Brazil!
4/14/16 Stroudsburg, Pennsylvania.... you did an incredible job! Thank you! That night change my life, I went out and bought all the music to date after that.
MCC has changed my life. I want to Say THANK YOU!!!
This guy its an amazing guitar player and musician!
Thanks a lot for those songs, and i will be following you in MCC!
Thanks a lot!
Martin we love you whatever band your in..Im a huge of mcc noe thru ghost.I just want to tell you are a artist thru n thru. Omega 4 Life !!
7 years. that's a long time. he seemed sad to announce his participation to being part of ghost. hes been the best part of ghost during their love shows. and their interviews. I hope for the best for his future endeavours.
I knew it! The song called "Dusk" from the new MCC album is the backing track of this video :)
Thanks for the boatloads of smiles you've put on my face listening to your music. I hope your next project ends up with the recognition you deserve good sir.
Thanks for the wonderful music Omega and welcome Magna Carta Cartel! :)
Curiosity: in the background you can hear the track Dusk by Magna Carta Cartel, released on 10/06/22 🤟🏻
OMG! We love you.
So happy I got to see you several times, but to many Ghost fans you were "Stompy" fittingly so. Either way totally love MCC and had it on my phone since last year. Tried to show Par Glendor in Green Bay at the Watering Hole, eventually I did get to show him after the show out by the bus. I was more than stoked that he was there and I got his autograph right on the horn of the ghouls mask on my Heavy Music Artwork magazine. hehe (He said I was the first person he met in the US that had heard of MCC, not sure if that was true or he was just yanking my chain) But so so so glad to meet him and that you all are releasing more music.
Martin We love you!!!!!!!! 😻😻😻😍 thank you for everything and so glad MCC is back!!!!!!!
We will miss you man. ♡
This is for you martin,you are a very talented musician,that is a gift,in whatever band you are in or produce it's positive,no one can ever take that away from you with negative or unfair situations,you will grow,situations will become stronger,karma will come,keep moving forward as hard as it is for the moment.hugggggs to you.
one more thought on this situation,you under no circumstance call yourself down,in the situation you are in,it's the people who are behind the negative,it's them not you.
I am proud of you talented man. I'm happy about MCC is back. Btw, thank you Omega for everything you’ve done. We'll always support you Martin.
Oh Martin, I wish things were different. So teary to see you sad. You are such a talented musician. I am a decade older than you, but still madly in love with your
I met Martin after the Ghost show in Stroudsburg, Pa on April 14th. This is definitely him. I was part of the vip meet and greet and I was in a room with just them and told them something...after the concert he (martin) commented on what I had told them backstage. Yes, this is definitely him. he was fucking awesome.
One of my favorites guitarists
Thank you so much, Martin. Your work in Ghost, TID, and MCC means so much to me. It was an absolute joy to see you live as Omega three times. Thank you again for waiting after the Ghost shows and signing my albums. I'm so happy to get new MCC material. You're an incredibly talented guy and I will follow your work no matter where you go!
Already knew. Met him. He's actually a real sweetheart. He's really nice.
Thank you for all the music, Martin! Very happy to see your face! Excited for MCC again! Always do what makes you happy & we will follow! Big hugs to you! xox
This man is an absolutely amazing rhythm guitarist. Ghost is the only band that when I'm learning how to play on the guitar, I choose to learn the lead and rhythm parts, because both are equally as fun.
Lord Sauron hearing my hubby play He Is pissed me off so much I started to learn to play guitar. All because of Alpha and Omega. I will miss them...
Thank you for your time in Ghost! I can't wait to hear more from MCC in the future :D
am proud that we met on person martin
thank you that being so humble and nice to me and to all fans
I love style of this guitarist, it's stupid tear down seven big years of great work
Thank you for everything Martin!!!! We missed you so much and it is very nice to heard something of you after a lot of time (at least for me) Greetings and the best wishes from San Luis, Argentina :)
Thanks for all that you've done in Ghost sir was a pleasure to have met you and alpha back in 2015 best of luck with MCC
Listening to mcc and everything Persner has done before ghost, you can really hear how essential he was to ghost, i fear ghosts future may be much blander without him, we will miss you Martin. Thank you for everything and i will be following all you do after this
