Ghost - Dance Macabre (Official Music Video) 

They sound like an updated version of Blue Oyster Cult

@@memyself898 I'd say Scorpions rather.

@@laurab5750 especially this song!

It's that Family Guy Noah's Ark meme. I vaguely remember it lol

Lol

I was playing the solo from Kiss the Go-Goat the other day and my mum said part of it sounded like ABBA...

All hail to ABBA :D They're a national treasure.

especially the "woah oh oh" at the end

Damnet now that I've heard it.....i cant UNhear it lolll

They already covered an ABBA song too lol. I’m a Marionette

I only discovered ghost maybe five years ago. I’m the number one fan. I’m 71 years old. 😮😂😂😂❤

EXACTLY! FINALLY!

Welcome!! :)

I’m also about that late too 🤣

Hahahhaa same here

punpun ;)

Isn’t it great?

That’s one of the reasons I like them so much. The fact that they can go from “Year Zero” to “Dance Macabre” or “Cirice” to “Kiss the Go-Goat” is part of the appeal. The wrestling gimmick the band has is the cherry on top.

@@thenamelessghuleh1440 Papa Emeritus III against Undertaker at Wrestlemania

🤯 that sounds better anyway

I knew they were trying to lure him back with Sister Imperator but it makes so much more sense know

True, it's "bewitch you," but also "be with you" humorously pronounced in a parody R&B style like, "I wanna dance witchu, girl." With Ghost, everything is both serious and literal as well as tongue-in-cheek at the same time.

It's a homophonic pun -- it's meant to hit both those

@@JBBost what do you smoke?

Found a vid on RU-vid of Bradley Bailey playing guitar with a crystal. m.ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-gRzyNnYgZzA.html&pp=ygUUQnJhZGxleSBCYWlsZXkgR2hvc3Q%3D From some other vids I've found, the guy is the exact opposite of the scary ghoulish looking character he played in the Dance Macabre video.

Seeing them live is crazy. I loved every second of it, you'll too!

Apparently he doesn’t write the lyrics I saw an interview with one of the faceless ghouls and he said that Tobias’s just the singer I don’t know how true that is though

Probably it was special ghoul. Special ghoul was Tobias Forge. And I'm pretty sure Tobias do the lyrics. 😂 But I don't really know. I hope so.

​@@jacksons8362 the songwriter is a metalhead producer that got tired of producing popsongs for the american market and wanted his own project - which is why he helped found Ghost.

😂😂😂 sounds about right

That must be why I always think I have heard a song that sounds alike..!

So sick of this joke

Truth ^^ 🤘😂😂🤘

what we forget? Jazz? Hm hold my beer....if this song came out in the 80's it woulda blew up!!!

I confirm!

Gay

Righteous.

Shit then I am coming to your parties.

So can we do the Timewarp, again?

Actualy still cant understand why people from developed countries dies like that from shit like that. Cmon people y have legalized grass and stuff like ampfs and xanax selling in a drugstore... Russia have that opioid-death epidemy in 90s and early 00, evreyone from generation been young those years have frends or family member or also known person who was addicted and most of them are dead. It is becouse live in Russia is so hard that vodka cant handle that as anastetic.

@@maxlawler1798 the thing is drugs used to be pretty safe from additives like fent until recently . even here in the netherlands every smart shop started selling fent testers because shit turned so dangerous quick

@@nilsonsemedo4994 you mean fent sells in the shop?

RIP, Boo. You did a great job in the video.😢

I've been expecting you

Yes I love that its playing in this song

I'm with you, Sandra!

Why? The earlier eras of music were so superior to what passes for it now!

@@jeffreyg607 Why? I' love it all but prefer the newer stuff,from Pequelle onward. It's just my own choice. :}

@@xScooterAZx Hi Sandra, sorry for the confusion. I meant in a broader sense, musically, not this particular band. Rock on! 💪

Many of the bands from Scandinavia are very retro styled, there's a band from Sweden called 'Work Of Art'. And their sound is straight out the late 80s.

I couldn't agree more, can't wait for the next album!

Extremely talented and highly underrated. I'd love to see him take on a more prominent role in future projects, but i definitely respect his humility.

"Without overdoing it" - given the shit Tobias has pulled off by now I have to politely disagree. He might be the heart of Ghost, but he's not the backbone.

@@TheCvlt except he is.

@@TheCvlt clearly don't have a clue what youre talking about.

I was happy to see the dance crew from Cabin Crew's Star To Fall video could make it to the party. ❤

And then "Ah, you mean, this party?" 😅

unfortunately this actor died :c

@@AngrySpector WHAT?? Do you know what happened to him? That’s so unfortunate; he was just so likable and charismatic. Would have loved to see him in other roles 😕

It's my favorite part 😂 *looks at Bella Lagosi great x ten grandson* "oh right! This party" 😂😂😂

​@@only.staticthe 'rona got him iirc

Agreed. And some "Eyes Wide Shut"-elements over the visuals. Great.

It kind of sound like a Scorpions song, doesn't it?

No....not really.

They have always had "Eyes Wide Shut" in their theatrics. Ever go to one of their concerts? The chant from the cult-party in that movie used to be their intro (now their second act intro).

It has a little Rocky Horror in it too, I think.

Yes sir 🤘🏻

Yello

Never left🎉

Yessir

Only 2026 folks, I'm sorry mate

that is actually sodo well per eriksson of katatonia and bloodbath

The guy who plays Creepy Door Guy is Bradley Bailey, who passed away. If you search "Bradley Bailey Ghost" on RU-vid, you find other videos of him playing acoustic guitar with a crystal, and some vids where he's playing guitar and singing. Hope he wasn't battling substance abuse issues, then got hold of something laced with Fentanyl. I don't care for recreational drugs even though I fully support the decriminalization of weed, but people are getting stuff (unknowingly) laced with Fentanyl. That's scary. Glad I'm not a parent having to worry about that kind of stuff. Sad the guy passed away way too young. 😢 How cool that he was selected to play this role in a Ghost vid as Ghost was becoming more well known worldwide. Everyone loves that nod to the scene from the Rocky Horror Picture Show. Watch the videos; you'll note the way the guy knocks on the door is identical to the door knock in Rocky Horror that brings Riff Raff to answer the door. R.I.P. Bradley. 🙏

It's not Sodo. I thought it was at first, too, but it's not.

Same here

Well now I can't hear the song the same anymore

Tobias has a better command of the English language than many native speakers. The word play he uses is clever as hell.

at first i heard wanna peekachu

@@undyinglich6326 It's a Ghost song. How can it *not* be more sinister than it seemed at first listen?

And he really plays off that metal and rock get called satanic, so he just took off with it and that's why it sells well too. He's a lyrical genius and theatrical and I just love it.

@@sinisterthewretched2003 our generations Alice Cooper.

Now that's a fuckin comment. Well done

Or what a top band so creative there really like Alice Cooper so that's what made me like them so much as there my new discovery band can't express how I can't stop listening to them as I luv a lot of different rock u can't beat them for what there doing as band keep the tunes coming ghost forever Mary on a cross really talented front man in tobies top front man can't wait to go and see them in concert what a great show it will be rock on ghost x

@@MorrisonCroft 1000 fucking percent!!

Same I’m in my late thirties and didn’t know of them till a few years ago.

I just saw them live last night and I can tell you, that you have stumbled on something amazing

Got a strong Rocky Horror vibe, and loved it.

I mean, he was a satanic goth... he didn’t rlly have to put up a good attempt to act. Either way it would’ve still been great.

Seemed like a little rocky horror and a bit of young Frankenstein in there.

@@naveenwilson-moola5570 You gotta know how to be the perfect weird to pull it off.

Filip Gereg true, true

Well said. The devil shows himself as an angel of light.

Holy shit I never thought about it like that but you’re absolutely spot on

Yeah that's not this. You're looking for more of a Bieber, Perry, Kanye, Cardi kinda vibe.

@@shawnbottom4769 which he portrayed in this song and rats if I remember correctly. They are all about the Satanic Bible.

I now picture him as the guy who played Lucifer on the show

Creía que era la única! ❤

Same

I was thinking the same! Its a beautiful solo, but with that scene it becomes perfect

sandakureva yoooo fr lol

Nothing beats the 80s devil

Enjoy the coke

when you think devil music began

Wow. 666 likes and I'm about to ruin it.

I wonder how many times they had to do that scene without busting up.

"What party?"...😂😂😂😂😂 Fantastic!!! Great...👏👏👏👏👏👏

Honestly, he always reminds me of Richmond from The IT Crowd 🤣

@@bradyday6964 for real

@@hydro_flips4068 yeah for real bro

Nice bit of info thanks for sharing

He's always been in music though. So what job did he quit exactly? Ghost was initially a side project. Maybe encouraged him to make it his main focus?

@@peterfaryma5729 Nope, he used to work at a call center before being a musician and GHost blew up over night on Myspace. He had a few not so known punk bands as a hobby before.

@@Aimtofflan I don't know if you could call a band like Repugnant just a hobby...

Lol

Not holy

He loves her soooo much. :3

*cof cof* Unholy sh***

Damn, your profile picture is fire!

Double entendre

So it wasn't just me then?🤣

It could either be “bewitch you” or “be wit ‘chu”

@@LogiBear59 I've played it on Amazon music with the lyrics showing and he definitely sings "bewitch you" which is apt considering the theme of the song. Bloody good song, it's the one that got me into the band in the first place.

it’s sorta both, even if one is more ‘canon’

umm.... I think you mean rats........ I dunno...

@@witedragonbaby no, I meant this one. "The song itself is about the 14th century Black Plague of Europe that decimated millions, with the video serving somewhat as a celebration of the End of Days." consequenceofsound.net/2018/10/ghost-dance-macabre-video/

kind of makes sense

where was the orangutan?

@ The poke in the eye is a freemason Moloch worship thing. See also: all the politician/celebrity photos with a single black eye, a subset of those will be from this. The pope is among those btw. PS: it will pretty much invariably be the left eye.

91-93 they would've owned.

They need more hair and in the 80's the hair bands were pretty boys. Who knows what these guys look like? Even Kiss took off their make up for a while back in the 80's. But they were not pretty boys so they put it back on.

If they were in the 80's they wouldve been ripping off the 50's, so no.

Any musician worth his salt has a soft spot for 80s and synths. HIM, would be an obvious hit if you like this, The Faint is pretty cool as well.

John Watson they’re huge now

Metal and hard rock? Ghost seems like a softer version of pop rock

+Michael Jackson's Final face and laugh in "Thriller"

Nothing hard about this, cept my Benis.

Hotel? Trivago

i like ghost but its metal for people who dont like metal.

..they are.

Maybe one day they’ll have over 2 million subs

they're getting up there actually :) the crowds they bring in are pretty massive

Just wait

9.4 MILLION listeners per month on Spotify... How is that not big? 🤦‍♂️

jaajjaajja

they look like a satanic death metal band so heavy it will make you deaf but their songs are actually so soft and cute

@adolf 1939 cual foi adolfo ritiler, deixa os gringo fazer meme da sam, digo, nam (north america memes)

@adolf 1939 eis que você promete parar de rir só quando lançarem o cyberpunk:

may I also suggest "Volbeat"?

The ABacross you need a new mom

Tell your mom to accept you for who you are.

@@pervyturtle2673 volbeat has screaming on some of their songs.

Sbaton for most of their Songs, but hm yeah most metal bands screm tough many dont growl

I was there and it was also my first ritual. I hope you loved it as much as I did!

Update: holy s%&! my life has changed forever after the show, I am a fan forever now they kicked ass!

Was Papa there?

What kind of fajitas? I'm hungry...

how did u end up getting a gig like this? i want tobe an extra for ghostxD

@shreyas yes, he didn't really have time to interact with us being preoccupied with the making of the video. I asked him if he was Ghost and his reply was "not now." Which I took to imply he wasn't in character. I complimented him on how much I adore the Elizabeth song and that was that @Vannessa, a casting website called casting frontier landed me this extra gig

For real? Where was it filmed?

and the bewitch you / be-wit-you double meaning is not lost on me

Who the fk is Tobias? The douche who answers the door? Is he supposed to be "dark". Are those 2 guys suppose to be "in trouble". They would probably beat up the band and bang their gfs.

this is an instant hit, indeed!

Digo lo mismo❤

@@VannyMiller puñito 🤜🏻🤛🏻

@@tennosixparkour puñito 🤜🤛

Lo mismo digo, me enteré de su existencia hace pocos días, pese a que veía a un compañero de trabajo con camisetas nunca le pregunté 😢

Lol I feel you😂

@Tim Jacuzzi Welcome😈

Its basically metal pop

@Tim Jacuzzi Well do you like what you hear?

Good. Listen to more!!!! Ghost is unique n totally rocks. To bad the dark side isn't real

"Are this guys comming to do Corey Taylor Jokes?" Face

He reminded me of Richmond from "IT Crowd".

I thought for a second it was Johannes Eckerstrom from Avatar

yeah what a joke band

I know how I'm doing my makeup for Halloween

Best accident ever happen to u my friend

same here!

Satan has graced you

It was like that fir me, too. I mistook Ghost for an 80s hairmetal band I just heard on the radio one day. I love it.

Spotify weekly for me, square hammer I think, and then my brother played Year Zero and Rats, fully hooked by then. Last summer, or the one before?

Oh you mean this party...*glares as they walk in

He is the Ghost version of Riff Raff from Rocky Horror Picture Show

Gayd

"You know the party" *Starts dancing*

"Oh you mean THIS party?"

@@mattienorml349 that would make the 'we've been expecting you' sentence make a lot more sense hahahaha xD

*Can I help you boys?

@@itsokay5608 Suddenly the "police'' rip off their uniforms and start swinging around their banana hammocks..... Now we got a party!

This song comes on the radio at work every so often and I swear it fits right in with the rest of the Dad Rock that usually plays. I didn't even bat an eyelash until I checked the artist and thought "Wait, as in *that* Ghost?"

Dude I think the beats been sampled cause I swear I there's another song like this n it came out wayyy before

Wwit what?! Omg I just realized that, I thought this song was released in the 2010's or before that....

You're absolutely right !

No it doesn’t lmao. Sounds like a pop song from 2008-2013 or smething, certainly not 80s.

Ten Second Songs My thoughts exactly.

I love you Chanel, ghost bc cover

Lol

In the mood for the complete ghost style covers! Please?

Ten Second Songs I sense a video coming from you soon..."Dance Macabre in 20 styles" (or however many you can fit in)

Shit had me in tears. 😂

Me too!!! 💯🤘💯 Everyday at least 7-8 times.. I fall asleep listening to ghost every night 🤘DANCE MACABRE🤘 🎸KEEP ROCKIN 🎸 💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯

Them and tenacious d

Is that true?

I'm here cuz it's such a bad song had to comment...it was that bad....this is ear bleeding shit..

@@ShinerBock2007 what the heck are u talking about?!! I love Ghost,but if you don't, I respect that!

@@ShinerBock2007 wtf?

Our faith in our papa don't disappoint hehehe

Too good to be one. Ghost prepped RU-vid for this new gem!

Legit Doc I think the fuck not

Nope!!!

definitely not, it started working right after the upload for me

Blue Oyster Cult influences oozing from this song in particular... Tobias has already solidified himself as a top tier songwriter of his or any generation, he hits a bulls eye almost every time

Sure, but what about in L. A.?

What party?

I live in Pennsylvania and we have plenty of creepy forests, does that count?

@@SpudEater dO yOu MeAn pennsyLvAnia

@bruce morrison JajajajajajajajajJa

What party?

@@JaneDoe-kz7wf The party

The blonde is a hotter, less trashy Ke$ha and a more sane version of Gaga. I think I fell in love when she gave him the EYES!

It was the song that introduced me to Ghost too. Though we were late to the party, we're here now, and we'll never leave.

@@davidadams2395 Agree 100%. Very underrated Band...

Cirice is also excellent. Between those two for me.

@@peterhansen8768 actually, me too!

Square hammer tho

What’s the band lore for this video? Fill me in

@@ncallaway9731 I'm fairly new to this so I might get it wrong but it's probably how Papa Nihil (as I understood, the very first one who jumpstarted this 'ministry') and Sister Imperator (the chick who would later on be the old lady welcoming the next Papa) met and got together. You could also watch Kiss the Go-Goat to see how they fell out lmao

If my toilet could speak

@@LeCretin pretty sure if toilets could do things the first thing it would so is kill me for all the torture I've put it through

@G Don't worry we'll just be killing the toilet.

Your like came from the bathroom.

How do you do, I see you've met my faithful handyman He's a bit brought down, when you knocked, He thought you were the candyman...

hahahah. Your comment wins.

papa stole vargs girl back in the day. thats why he burns churches, to destroy the memories

You nailed it hahaha

hahaha

i think is Copia, not Nihil... Nihil doesn't have "the eye"

"Can I help you boyss?" LMAO

@@onelovefoco947 I think he is one of their guitarists, Per Eriksson...

I think that guys actin is genius how creepy he look and his manerisms

@@Nesty9 He's doing such a perfect nod to Rocky Horror there! Of course one of the best things about Ghost is how they reference everything and grab influences from everywhere, so why not reference the most fun cult movie ever made? I think he might be one of the guitarists too... he sure looks ghoulish! XD

I was kinda considering what was above those shoes. 😈

I saw those too and my first thought was "I'd eat shit. Guaranteed"

theGloriousDipshit Next level coordination is a _must,_ huh?

Was thinking the same thing. The shoes are awesome.

Coincidence much? I think not. Even RU-vid couldn't handle the awesomeness.

Yes and no. Papa Nil said that his father was Papa, and his father, and etc. It may be an origin of Papa Nihil but that would be weird assuming that his father was an Emeritus and he didn't know about the Clergy.

Riff raff lol

It's Rocky Horror costuming mixed with "The Masque of the Red Death" by Edgar Allen Poe. Watch the movie starring Vincent Price, and that will explain the chimes at midnight, the party, the plague doctor outfits, the Satanic figure, the blood on the faces, etc. I know Tobias loves old movies, so I think these references are pretty cool.

@wulfgar3000 He's supposed to be RiffRaff from Rocky Horror. Someone else commented that he is played by Varg Vikernes from Burzum.

I thought same thing

yeah there already exits one; it's called satanism

love the bill wurtz ref.

ha! thanks for this :D

No, don't.

THE SUN IS A DEADLY LAZOOORRRRR

Sherry stone exactly! Oh you mean this party?

yasmindiab for sure, I even got that 80’s vibe before seeing this music video, when I just heard it Spotify. Excellent workout song.

Flashdance!

We need a MONTAGE!!! 😀

You can get alot done in a 5 minute 80s montage

He died unfortunately

hahahaha omg i'm dying LOL

That’s all it takes? Sign me up for that deal

No they can collect after death

Lol sign me up plz

IMisterioI Love the profile pic!

Your profile pic makes me think your yelling everything lol.

Adam Seeve It definitely has a throwback sound. 80s/90s hard rock. That is the first thing I noticed. Has a slight Scorpions sound.

@@marketmogul agreed

80's beat with 90's refinement made for 2018... I like it tho
