Ghost: Inside the Satanic Cult Concept 

+frank unodostres He seems really smart, even more a reason to like those dudes :D

+frank unodostres I imagine there's more than a few Satanic lawyers in real life, anyway, but I digress.

+frank unodostres hey you know what? he does sound like a lawyer huh? lol

He's awesome

THE WAY HI TALKS IS AMERICAN ASCENT. ..

You do know they have names, right? Nameless Ghoul Fire, Water, Air, Ether, and Earth.

+Alejandro barrios gutierrez No way! I like nameless ghoul too!

+AlisaMaederGodN9gga Which Ghoul is this one???

Well, they're wearing Fire, but it might be Papa himself, its not really possible to tell.

+AlisaMaederGodN9gga Papa has a ridiculously distinct accent. You'd be able to tell if it was Papa.

He said he isn't an atheist

@@nyse41685 That's what I said. Watch his interviews. He straight up says that common sense and intellectualism leads him toward atheism, but he isn't an atheist, because he just feels and wants there to be something more.

@F4tii Tmii That Epstein didnt kill himself

@@andrewhart9310 And he became a Satanist

@@steelbear2063 он не стал сатанистом

Baron Samedi!

Lmao

Angel Phobos that’s my favorite thing about this band You got Ghoul Ghoul Ghoul And PAPA FUCKING EMERITUS THE THIRD

@@rogergoza3180 what about Ghoul and Ghoul?

Anaimlis'gul

No no. First name: Nameless. Last Name: Ghoul. Occupation: Nameless Ghoul

lol

Church Of The Chin Yeah, Papa is obviously Pope, but the characters of the Ghouls, when in character of course, seem to have a bit of a protestant pastor flavor to them.

They are not even realnstanist it’s just for show

@@Theroadneverending The person never said that they're real Satanists.

Yes. It's kind of a dark twist on that old Catholic hymn/chant sound. It's really haunting and brilliant.

Well I'll have people hating me for this but I am a Christian (far from perfect I assure you. No Christian is perfect) but I still love Ghost. I love their song He Is. What a beautiful song. When I sing it I just change up a couple of words and sing it to God. I'll always love Ghost. They're captivating!

The real purpose of metal is to make cars to make people happy!

Jim Chumley AGREED!

Wide is the road that leads to destruction and many who go down it...Narrow is the road to righteous and few who find it. Happily decieved by blindness of sin. Tje devil is not an atheist either..just doesn't serve Jesus. Jesus loves Ghost and their fans and waits for them to turn to Him. Turn to Him Ghost and Find what your looking for

@Sepher Agon they eventually going to after true christians the Jehovahs witnesses

that's the biggest bull of all time. satan has never made anyone happy , even bandmembers have miserable lives and end up killing themselves ...wake up people , you are rooting for an entity that wants you dead. Repent and come to God

In my opinion the mask and costume isn't creepy at all.

Coincidentally the opposite of most actual churches xD

I agree, my mom didn't take me to see them this past on Chicago November 1st of last year because of just the way they dress and everything she hates masks and face painting and stuff but oh well, lol. But she adores the song bible.

@@PhyreI3ird u mean priest

The mask and costume looks bad ass

literally was just about to say that

+Massimiliano Fiorini "inconsistent"?

+Massimiliano Fiorini oh my gawd that fucking outro!!!

Hemi Cuda **drum roll** Me: OH FUCK NOOOOOOOOO **proceeds to be deafened**

*inconsistant

That's the one thing i don't like of this band/solist.

That just adds to the alluring appeal. Anyone could be behind the masks. Dave Grohls been confirmed. Personally, I want one of the guitarists to have been Buckethead. A good guitarist from around the mid 2000's if I recall correctly who would've been quite skilled by the time the band was formed. Who the fuck knows, the only real limitation for being a Ghoul in the band is to have a consistent body type and skin color (unless some positions like drums and keyboard can wear gloves).

@@lucamckenn5932 Dave Grohl recorded 2 songs for Infestissumam in drums, and performed with them once or twice, all the former and current Ghouls identities have also been leaked.

Def Tobias' voice.

@@VonRammsteyn why?

I hope this is sarcasm. Because 95% of what he said was mumbled, abstract bull crap. Someone that is really baked would probably be able to interpret something out of what he said. But using Fancy words to express nonsense, still equals NONSENSE

LadyAxe13 Do you? Do you love it? Har har har har!!!! Shut up dummy.

My thoughts exactly.. true art is intelligent. He's just a true artist! The look, the sound, the lyrics hell, even the music videos are so damn amazing and build upon something fantastic, can you even say that with most other musicians of our day?

@@miked9841 why are you kids in this comment section? Go on now. Grab your tampons and go to sleep.

They are Pop stars.

+John Bonham huh, nice catch. The "Ghoul" being interviewed has the same distinct eye color as Tobias

It's Papa for sure. I saw them a few days ago, he used the same voices and comments about dying.

+Spencer Nelson The voice sounds similar as well, just go watch any one of their live concerts on RU-vid and listen to PE talk in between songs. The speaking voice is what gives it away for me.

+John Bonham band sucks still, a watered down king diamond rip off! and they never at least gave king diamond credit!! they say bands that make no sense that inspired them, like kiss when vocally they are a watered down king diamond, mercyful fate....if they gave credit where due maybe i'd give em a serious chance i'll leave this shit to kids and hipsters and stick with the true king diamond/mercyful fate god!

+John Bonham I also think it's papa. The joke he made about people "lying to your fucking face" was made by Papa in the exactly same tone in a lot of shows.

+Dörf Der Wolfe I prefer the previous one quite frankly :) It was more mysterious...

+popkorn that's true

Dude...All he said was he preferred the other masks. No name calling or anything. Chill bro. Me personally....I didn't like the new masks right away but they have grown on me to where I actually like them better. I can't imagine what they will look like next album cycle.

Unless some of the comments were deleted. Sorry if they were. Kind of confusing.

Matthew Jones they were some idiot was talking smack just because I liked the mask

Pretty much. Powerwolf does their makeup well, but their image is really up-their-own-arse. Takes a lot of talent to take something that looks ridiculous, and still make it work.

Slipknot does their masks pretty well.

I think Lordi does this well too. They do it right, they don't pretend their demons when they're being interviewed. That's why bands like Gwar are a joke. When you're asked what your inspirations are and your response is "burning cities, turning people into ash and maggots" that shit is ridiculous. Leave it on stage like Ghost and Lordi.

Lady in Black that's the thing. GWAR was supposed to be ridiculous. You weren't suppose to take them seriously. They were a comedy metal band.

"Lady in Black" is pretty much the most elegant username I've ever come across. And yea, I also agree with what you said.

Khenty-imentiu interesting

JO3 EXXXOTICC LoL ironic the guy calling someone a poser, has one of the biggest bandwagon normy topics as his picture and name!

That is correct. When they give phone interviews (not in character), they have stated they are not Satanists in real life. Some of the band members are agnostic, others atheist, and some don't define themselves at all. They are definitely doing a satirical spin on the rigidity of belief systems, and the corruption in organized religion.

Brigham Krogstad ok then you woke up . They ared luciferian in your face enough beating behind the bush

Go listen to Mayhem.

Very reminiscent of LaVeyan satanism.

Be careful dabbling in the occult , I spent a decade on that path and I can assure you it’s literally a dead end

I am Canadian. This guy's accent is obviously European, especially with the hard Rs. He is also talking slowly, which is what Europeans do when trying to mimic an American/Canadian accent.

@@vovin8132 I strongly disagree. Of course he has a bit of an accent but it's not super obvious. You probably wouldn't even be able to tell what accent it is if you didn't know. About the hard R's, I completely disagree with you. Ok, they are probably not perfect but still not hard in any way. And finally, the pace of his speech. That's actually the way he speaks, even in Swedish. Different people speak in different paces, nothing weird about that. The interviewer for instance doesn't speak particularly fast either, so I really don't get your point.

@@SwedishWarGoat. I get what you're saying, but trust me, North American english speakers will know his accent is European right away. Scandinavians especially have unique accents. Sometimes the lines are blurred, if they spend a lot of time with global culture (like Pewds) or are students in North American universities (I know some Finns once). All that being said, the main singer of Ghost does sound more American-ish when giving casual interviews without the costume, so the Papa accent is part of the act I think.

@@vovin8132 I know that we Scandinavians have special accents, it's easy for us Scandinavians to pick them up as well. The thing is that this guy has so little of the typical accent it's hard to pin point it, and I'm VERY used to hearing Swedish people speaking English with an accent. I hear it every day, and to be honest it kind of bothers me cause I think about it all the time. But not with this guy, yes I can hear he has an accent but barely. And it's definitely not the R's. Usually it's the I's that gives it away with a lot of Scandinavians, but again, not with this guy. Pewdiepie has a strong accent, not super strong, but still strong enough to easily tell that he's from Sweden. You can't even compare this guy to him. Of course the Papa accent is a part of the act. It's Italian inspired I would say, although he sometimes sound like Dracula.

@@SwedishWarGoat. Yeah, for sure Papa has a Transilvanian accent. But listen to Tobias Forge in this interview, and his accent is very American-ish: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-VNjm1zpT1GA.html&ab_channel=Loudwire.

People do that all the time in real life its not that they don't understand its just they do it to show they listened to what the person said some people do it without even noticing, obviously he understands as he is giving responses to what the ghoul said

agreed...hes a "nodding head"...trying to paint them into HIS opinion of thier music....when I think they are much broader than that.... Plus he wore the shirt of his favorite band....don't be that guy.

He is a metal head working for a company that is involved with metal bands. He wears shirts in every interview because he is a metalhead...lol

You might want to re-read your comment a rethink who it is you are calling an idiot. Perhaps do so looking in a mirror.

Walter Ferres k lol

+nathan saldana Nein.

+nathan saldana thought i was just a little metal crazy haha

Nathan Saldana what?

and Alice in Chains

You You hate You hate me

+Miss54321GOOO Except that its boring as hell and is uninspired (hence the Grammy). The mystery is the only thing that makes them interesting.

+spoony smalls That's interesting, because it's the precise opposite for me. Love the music, hate the schtick.

+Miss54321GOOO how can i enjoy the music when it is written for the antithesis of my diety? Good music, but i wouldnt write a song that would make any group of people feel uncomfortable

dansbigfanguitarist Well, Christian music makes me uncomfortable. I doubt that Christian musicians are too fussed about that.

+dansbigfanguitarist if you think that music isn't supposed to make anyone feel uncomfortable then I don't think you understand how art works, it isn't supposed to pander to audiences and needs to be a free flowing of creative thought from the artist, if they try to pander to people and change their vision for them then it isn't their art anymore

ChthonianAlliance That's what I love about Ghost the diversity of their songs and they also got a unique sound

this is very true, my friend.

+Jennifer Hetfield and I will, if I ever see them...

+evattmab it is beautiful to see them live. you will not be disappointed at all. it's just amazing. :)

Jennifer Hetfield :') I can't wait.... but, meanwhile, I'm afraid that I'm going to have a heart attack!!! ^_^

+Jennifer Hetfield I saw some people wiping away tears during the show. I definitely felt some big warm fuzzy joy, but...okay, okay, my voice got a little shaky while I was singing "He Is", so what?!

That's cool.

How can we know that this is Tobias?

​@@fire_from_within his voice and his manner of speach are pretty recognizable. If u wanna check, there are tons of newer interviews where he's speaking without the mask to compare

@@fire_from_within It's definitely Tobias. I've seen and heard enough interviews to know.

Same lmao I'm trying to watch this silently in the middle of the night

Damn, good thing I read this comment before finishing the video. I have my headphones on at quite a high volume. You saved my ears, thanks.

calaverasgrande office space

calaverasgrande LEL SAME LUCKY MY ROOM WAS A LITTLE CLOSED

You can usually tell by the eye color and how he speaks. He ain't foolin' us.

It's Alpha, not Papa

Prove me wrong :p

I've met them and heard each speak, it's alpha. You can not believe it all you want until you have "proof" but you're still wrong

No need to be an ass about it, man. It's usually Papa who stars these videos. Plus "I met them" isn't the best evidence, but oh well. Whoever it is, it's a good video. That's for sure.

Only Jesus can Give Salvation.

A ghoul by definition is a jinn that hurts or evokes harmful emotions by surprize. The rank in the clan is not all that better.

they are by far the most satanic band out there... Satanism is not screams, satanism is a message.

Elchinodiabolero Islam may be the largest and fastest rising group among non denominational/unorganized religion/spirituality statistics, but it seems clear that Satanism has been more on the rise in the last several years than it was in the 1960s and 1970s.

Jaefar SABNW more Lucifarian than Satanic, but I agree it does seem to be on the rise and I'm interested to see where it ends up.

+eckolwarlock we all know it's really you Gruhamed.... :)

Yup, went back n caught that one lol, good catch...n he's studdering for words like Tobias always does...silly sneaky papa😉😆👍

I'm a young christian that really enjoys metal and other genres of darker music. And cant get behind the lyrics of most of their songs. But I love the guitar work so much that it keeps drawing me back in

They're satanic you tootsie roll

@@truthhurts79 It's they're, not their. And Satanic doesn't mean Devil worship. They oppose Christian beliefs. I'm a Christian and I enjoy listening to their music as well as other metal and rock music.

@@kevinpflaum19 oh stfu!!they hate your fake God jesus who the powers that be created so they can control mindless religions slaves like YOU! LOL at the end of the day they choose satan over jesus you brainwashed religious zealot 😂

"Accepting your short comings as a human but still making the best out of life" is pretty much the basis of levayan satanism.

Sacrificed that man to Satan obviously.

If not for my now adult kids, I wouldn’t have heard most of the music that I love now :) But as for Ghost, I found them myself, and plan on sharing some of the less blasphemous songs with one of my daughters… I understand that Tobias is writing these lyrics because he does not like the Catholic Church or any religion that calls itself Christian, because of the control. I understand that, as I came out from the catholic system. There is no God to be found in them. But at age 27, the God of the Bible revealed Himself to me!! I knew that Jesus Christ was my Saviour, so I repented of my many sins, and the blood that Jesus shed for me washed away all of my sin, and made me clean. I had never felt peace in my entire life until that time, so it was an amazing day for me! I can face every challenge and hurdle with Him by my side. He took my alcohol problem from me in an instant after I cried out to Him, and has been restoring my broken soul ever since… I had no intention of sharing all of that with you, so I hope it has actually given you some food for thought. God bless you and your family 🙏

Of course it is.. Tobias forge is ghost...

Yep lol I could tell the moment he realized he was talking to Tobias pretending to be a nameless ghoul. I caught it by his eye color, the hand movements, the sharp choppy shoulders, the Swedish accent, and his voice was clearly Tobias not doing his fake Italian pope accent.

He does say that a lot doesn't he? HAHA Wow I love him such a fantastic talent!!

Apocalyptic megaman You're a Christian and you listen to Satanic music? Sounds like you're a Satanist.

Hatrix They have a song called Satanic Prayer!

I have to respect the original comment and it makes sense. Besides rock and metal I listen to a LOT of classical, much of which is sacred music, Bach cantatas and so forth, and none of that makes me remotely Christian just from listening. I just like great music. It is refreshing there can be a Christian who can listen to so called satanic music without imploding.

I've attended both Christian and Catholic schools before I switched over to public for high school. I actually encountered bullies in both the Christian and Catholic schools but never had that problem in public school, which I found pretty ironic. In our church one of the priests actually abused the nuns. I've met a Satanist that was nicer and more genuine than a number of Christians I've met. Its kinda strange how the world outside of the Christian/Catholic faiths was more welcoming to me where I was always taught it was supposed to be the other way around.

Vynyster I went to both catholic and public as well. public was better everyone was nicer and didn't encounter any bullies. being a adult I learned its all in the person not the belief system.

NO BC WHY IS THIS TRUE- (I’m Christian too!)

I just noticed that xd

Hearing it at 4.30 + bro XD DU HAST MICH GEFRAGT

Good Band! Rammstein, German...love'em...in fact; great song selection for today!

Holy shit it is there

Would you say almost ghost like? Hehe get it!!!!!

The way I see it, a band that makes "groovy"/"funky" music, for lack of a better description, like Ghost, is closer to being satanic than any other black metal band because the "danger" of Satan (if you're a religious person) is that he is seductive, he makes you like him, trust him. In that sense Ghost is the only true satanic band that I know of because they make melodic music that can appeal to a great many people whilst spreading Satan's "message".

Depends on the sect of Satanism, depends on the approach you have. Meaning that not all Satanic Ideologies share that perspective. If you going through the Christian perspective then sure. If you are going through a Luciferian perspective that is incorrect. It depends on the path they are following.

He wears a MASK, dresses UP, and makes "music" for an imaginary occult figure. Yeah, really amazing. I wonder how much of that record sale and touring $ goes into SATAN rather than more MASKS and the HUGE mansion he owns along w the 23 cars. VERY Satanic to have a Mortgage, insurance, automobiles and pay property tax......SOOOOOO Satanic.

+James White somebody's self projecting a mid life crisis!

+James White in the satanic Bible it's saying that you should prosper your own self before others. so that's what they are doing.

LMAOOOO damn you aint have to roast that man like that

I thought the same exact thing. He s*cks at his job! I have seen 2nd graders conduct better interviews.

He solved dick

Thanks for the good laugh! So true. Lol. What a dork

is it wrong to think his voice is nice and I want to cry

Vic Quinn yes

www.equip.org

I thought "What the fuck was that", when I watched this the first time. xD

White ppl are so cringe

+Dew B I have to admit that the guy is very smart and after the interview I start to like him.

+Dew B It's clever since the general audience doesn't even know who's answering which puts focus on what he's saying rather than who's saying it. Dressing up Papa as a nameless one gives a further ability to deal with any interview through fictional persona outside of Emeritus scope. The interviews made out of character is a lot more personally grounded so this is pretty awesome. If you have Ghosts, you can say anything...

It's the interviewer. He used to drive me nuts, but I've gotten used to it since he interviews so many great people. He hardly bothers me anymore.

jamdwhi I wish the interviewer would shut up after asking the guest a question. He tries to answer it for him in hopes of the "is this the right answer? Aren't you proud of my smarts" and then the guest has to completely rethink his answer because he has to retract everything the interviewer just said because NO the answer was wrong so shut up and ask the questions only! And then the guest would forget his train of thought after being insulted by that dumb interviewer.

ComeToThySelektor I think the nameless ghoul was struggling with right words to express himself..as if English was not his first language

yea, the interviewer was lame..he was annoying.

Because their talking about satanism, and that's a sensitive topic for the interviewee

I couldn't agree more with this outlook.

+rbeforme Thank god. I was starting to feel like an asshole.

Right. Instead of the interviewer pitching the band member a specific (hypothetical) idea, he could have asked something more open-ended like "compared to other heavy metal bands, what is Ghost's disposition to Satanic themes?"

I just hate him, he's a pushover pussy and a bad interviewer.

Just Some Clown lol

They are all smart dudes and good people.

+hinjurock scandinavians...

+hinjurock It is a gimmick though, when you think about it. But they really have good music and they're intelligent about the whole thing. It was obviously carefully planned and it's really intriguing how long can they keep this up and what happens if their identities get leaked. It would be a shame but I imagine that if ever some shitty person decides to "out" them, they'd just go with it and move on with a different stuff like reincarnation or something.

I'd consider whoever outs them to be a great person.

hinjurock why? winlati their identities are an open secret now, but i think it wouldn't matter if those get publically revealed because ghost is turning into something else, i'm referring to the support, etc. don't you think?

+dkyelak Indeed...

You can't be everywhere in the USA at the same time, how could you possibly know?

I saw Manson last year, and oh boy, there were protests. So entertaining.

www.equip.org

Ghost is not on MM`s level in the 90s....Plus Manson was on like day time tv shows like Oprah and always on mtv.

whats up ?

Alex Linares are we brothers?

maby

ahaha xD

Corey Taylor Which isn't good?

That's what I was just thinking. I recently discovered Ghost.

anyone who doesn't think Ghost is Metal isn't a true metal fan. come fight me, jerks.

Terms like "metalhead", "true(TM) metal" etc are just subjective labels. People describe themselves and music as this or that, so they can compete in a ridiculously irrelevant marketplace of empty concepts. In the end, it doesn't matter. Here's a band that writes and produces music the way the band wants to. You either enjoy it or you don't. And just how insecure does one have to be to be offended, feel threatened and go on endless debates about a fucking *label*? Ironic, coming from fans of genres that put a lot of emphasis on strength and independence in their culture. lol, nope, you are a weakling if you do that. One with an inflated sense of entitlement to judge the work of others while they themselves do nothing but bitch about descriptions from the lazy comfort of their mom's basements :)
