The best thing about Ghost is how it's so offensive and off-putting on the surface, but is just an honest to god good time while giving love to old/campy horror and throwing shade at metal bands only touching on Satan for aesthetic purpose only. The band embodies "at least commit to it"
I can't remember if Ritual was the second one of theirs I heard or the first, but that was the one that hooked me, I was immediately down for whatever else they might have in their catalog after that one.
Saw these guys live and during the second chorus he actually reached out to this girl in the front row and sang the chorus while holding her hand and looking into her eyes just like in this video, it was probably one of the fucking coolest things I've ever seen at a live show.
that’s called being ciriced they used to do it every show during that song but that was when they performed in smaller venues now they’re getting arena big so papa can only like reach out to someone but he can’t touch them anymore which is sad but nice at the same time because that means they’re getting more recognition as they should
yeah that is literally my life's goal to be ciriced by papa. i know they play larger venues now but that won't stop me. it's going to happen. then my life will be complete haha.
Tobias Forge does the guitars, bass, writes everything, singing, he's just about the entire project on the album work. Ironically, he originally just wanted to be the lead guitarist, but when making Ghost a thing, at the start he ended up having to take over the vocals.
To answer your question, yeah, "Cirice" means "Church" in an old dialect of English :) Initially I actually thought it was supposed to be the name of the girl tbh
Yes, and as I've heard it is supposed to be pronounced with a "hard" C, like a K, and a silent E - so that would be "Kirik". But I'm not 100% sure on that. Makes sense, since the swedish word for church is Kyrka wich look kind of similar even though it is pronounced differently.
Tobias writes the lyrics and all the music, and he's plays all the instruments on the recordings. He's super talented. So many metal elitists hate ghost, their loss! You guys have to go to a ghost show, called a ritual. It's quite the experience. Definitely react to squarehammer next, it's their encore for live shows.
Those metal elitists are ignorant knobs then, as even most of their probable idols likely rock out to Ghost and are fans. James Hetfield is a huge fan and can be seen both headbanging at a show as well as playing riffs in rehearsals with Metallica. I'd wager those same elitists also don't get Ghost and it's all flying over their head. Taking them way too seriously and wanting them a certain way. It's too big brain for some. Satire is a dying art. So is good rock music. Both together? Ghost pretty much fly the flag. It's just a bit of fun. Sexy, satanic, stylish, bloody, metal fun! \m/
He doesn't play drums on recordings. He only did drums for the very first demo of Opus Eponymous but on the recording and every record since it's Ludvig Kennberg. And there are some songs that are co-written.
Ghost is just pure artistic melody, they are like Deftones, so unique and majestic at the same time and apparently the 2 people clapping at the end were supposed to be his parents, which is amazing.
They've been one of my favorite bands for a long time the singer Tobias Forge is a genius he not only created the band he writes all the lyrics and created the guitar bass and drum parts for their debut album hes got a great voice and incredible stage presence
My intro to Ghost was "Monstrance Clock" and it remains one of my favorites. Also recommend "From The Pinnacle To The Pit" and (if you're feeling ballsy) "Year Zero."
I'd like to thank you guys for your videos. I have a debilitating disease, your reactions get me through tough times. Thanks again from Detroit Rock City
Nice to see the love of Ghost spreading, now that you've seen some of the more recent ghostly tunes, I recommend you to take gander on their Eponymous debut album. it is a pure tribute for old school occult rock and Mercyful Fate, so much catchyness and earworms. Because they've made such catchy stuff they've been called as the Abba of metal. All this stuff is 100% radiofriendly, if you tune out from the lyrics, and its super funny, songs: The Ritual Stand by Him Satan Prayer Death Knell
Here’s one video from each of the seven bands that I’d most highly recommend: *Blood Ceremony* (flute-tinged witch rock): ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-nRJwTS_2M5M.html *The Bridge City Sinners* (punk folk): ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-WZbR3xVeA3w.html *Jess and the Ancient Ones* (psychedelic rock): ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-5hgWxb1bXkE.html *Lucifer* (doom rock): ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-SwAF-9m12Ms.html *The Oath* (classic metal): ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-woHnD39jU4c.html *Thundermother* (classic hard rock): ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-ZoLmch76c9k.html *Twin Temple* (doo-wop): ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-mIH7mDcoJjI.html
My ex and I were THERE for the shooting of the music video! They did a call-out to fans asking to send in a picture of you along with some other info and they picked us! Got to hear the song (brand new at the time) like 1000 times that day haha.
Man, you want some Ghost groove, check out "Pinnacle to the Pit." Such a groovy banger. You should also check out their acoustic videos, especially the acoustic version of "Guleh (Zombie Queen)" ... So good! They are also one of the best live acts out there. Saw them a few years ago - it was nice and long, and amazing!
So excited yal did this Band again!!! 🤘🏼Year Zero, From The Pinnacle to The Pit are some other songs to check out among others that I’m sure other are suggesting
The girl in the video reminds me of American McGee's Alice, which is kinda cool. Also, if you're interested in more heavy atmospheric tunes like this, I'd suggest 'Nocturna' by Moonspell.
The eye-locked chorus is what sticks with me the most from the music video. Every time the chorus comes around now, I imagine the kid Papa staring out like that lol
The Colbert Show performance of this song on Halloween is a lot of fun as well. It's a shortened version, but definitely worth seeing. The audience interaction is really something. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-vTXW-tO-fOs.html
Okay. 3 for 3 now. Lets make them 10 for 10! 4. Ritual - Because it's fuckin ritual. 5. Year Zero - Because Hail Satan. 6. Stand by him - It's the one that started it all. 7. Square Hammer - BANGER 8. Rats - BANGER 9. Life Eternal - Personal favorite. 10. Faith - BANGER Bonus Tracks: Mummy Dust, Witch Image, Elizabeth, Bible
What's going on Rappers React? I'mmm BACK with another Voivod suggestion called "NothingFace". Since almost a year, I pressed the thumbsup button on 99% of your videos, I did suscribe to the channel, I left tons of suggestions in the comment section... Like I wrote before, almost every artist you reacted to are huge Voivod fans and it's about time you open their "book" ;) To make a quick story, the band "Rush" started in the early 70's, "Voivod" started in the early 80's and "Tool" started in the early 90's ;) They are all connected...
I believe this song won a Grammy award for Best Metal Performance. As for songs to check out next, here's a couple of criminally under-appreciated tracks: Absolution, Ghuleh (Zombie Queen), and Mummy Dust.
So many great Swedish bands to check out apart from Ghost, here are my favorites and please check them out: Entombed (death), Candlemass (doom), Pain of Salvation (prog), Opeth (death/prog), Meshuggah (techmetal), Evergrey (progmetal), At The Gates (death), The Hellacopters (rock), Dismember (death), Grave (death), The Flower Kings (prog) and the legendary originators of Black Metal - Bathory....and many many more.
Circe is a name. In german bezirzen (to circe) means to charm, like in a witchcraft way. Wikipedia: Circe (/ˈsɜːrsiː/; Ancient Greek: Κίρκη, pronounced [kírkɛː]) is an enchantress in Greek mythology.[1] She is a daughter of the god Helios and either the Oceanid nymph Perse or the goddess Hecate. Circe was renowned for her vast knowledge of potions and herbs. Through the use of these and a magic wand or staff, she would transform her enemies, or those who offended her, into animals
If you guys love ghost , you'll definitely love The 69Eyes . They're a Gothic Vampire band from Finland. The song Lost Boys was one of their biggest hits
"Faith," "See the Light," or "Witch Image" those are my Ghost suggestion. The three you've already watched are 3 of my favorites, so if you liked those then you'll love these.
Definitely do Square Hammer, but you may want to check out Ritual to see their earliest work and how diverse their (his) music is. Tobias Forge (Papa I, II, III, IV and Cardinal Copia) is the sole song writer and performs most of the instruments besides drums on their recorded stuff. I have seen them 11 times and I am a relative newcomer to them. I started listening just before they released their third album. They are that great live. This is coming from a Tool fan BTW. Also, do some more Poppy please!
Just like Trent Reznor is Nine Inch Nails ...Tobias Forge is GhoSt...literally writes music and lyrics and hires folks to play during concerts (which they tour every 2 yrs) and help record studio work. The guy is a genius
Also try some The Devil's Blood. Occult rock from the Netherlands, and good friends of Ghost. Their lead singer died in 2013, but they made some great albums, with songs like I'll be your ghost, She, Christ or Cocaine and The Thousandfold Epicentre.
The video for me is a beautiful story of two weird kids in a conservative environment finding each other and connecting. The difference between them and Imagine Dragons is the message, and has been from the jump. The whole concept artistically has been planned this way from the beginning and I'm happy they haven't abandoned that when they blew up, or when the band drama and lawsuits happened, or anything else. They can and do play in many different genres musically (check out Absolution for some classic 70s prog rock vibes) but they've maintained the aesthetic and conceptual themes throughout. This is an art project for them as well as an artistic outlet, sticking with that will give them that longevity.
I don't know if it applies to this song but Cirice was a name used for one of the greek women that was suppose to be a conduit to the greek gods and knowledge of the future, or one of the hags (sea witch) and was pronounced Sear Sea.. Also you guys should check out RATS by the same band
