Ghost are *_definetly_* a band worth checking out! Awesome musicianship, very retro-rock sound, with a tongue-in-cheeck satanic twist. Instead of being satanically _evil_ , they're going for satanically _seductive._ All in good fun, of course.
They succeeded, in the time I’ve known the band I went from Christian, to agnostic, to somewhat satanist, although I don’t fully subscribe to it because I do believe there is a god of sorts. And of course I still wanna bang Papa.

Saw them open for Opeth and Mastodon. They were alright but (imo) they are over-hyped. I certainly wouldn't mind seeing them as an opener again, but I doubt I'd pay to see them as a headliner.
sopwithsnoopy Fair enough. But I’d point out that rarely is the mix for support acts as good as the headliner. I saw Karnivool as a support act for Skindred years ago, and didn’t think much of them. But when I saw them again as headliner following the release of Asymmetry, their sound was massive. A good friend of mine saw Ghost support Metallica, and they were a big Ghost fan, but didn’t think too much of that performance. But they came saw Ghost again with me at the Royal Albert Hall and fell in love with them all over again. I’d say, give them a go as a headliner once if you can.
This my friend is the genious work of one Tobias Forge from Linköping Sweden! Tobias has written the song and plays all the instruments except keyboard/synthesizer (Salem Al Fakir) and drums (Ludvig Kennberg). Tobias is not an ordinary person. Tobias is a musical genious.
This song is a good example of how well some epic sax guy fits prog/metal/et cetera. King crimson already shown that so well, I wish there was more of that influence.
Subtitles is the best way to bring you feelings and thoughts to your audience when the music (you're describing) is playing. My Eng is bad, I hope you got the point))
The sax solo is kind of a meme considering the backstory behind it. I love the concept behind this band and I encourage you to learn about it someday :) !
To answer your question - they are not an instrumental band...they are primarily a vocal band...a subversive, quasi-satanic, sacrilegious, satirical act, the brainchild of one guy. Each album has a different sound. They have a lot of backstory that I won't go into here, but I'm a HUGE fan. Definitely check out "Genesis" from their first album for another instrumental. You may find some of the lyrical content to be overtly anti-religious, so be forewarned. I've seen them 4 times...and "Miasma" is a fantastic live track as well. Enjoy!
It would be a Paradoxon to be anti religious but quasi satanic. They use that as a form of "critique" I guess. Could be wrong. In any case, if they believed in some satanic forms of beliefsystem, it would make them religious.
@@Spasstiful I should clarify - what I mean by "anti-religious" is that the band is largely anti-organized religion. The shtick is a critique more than it is an actual "satan worshiping" band. That's how I interpret it, anyway.
@@MattKrogmeier yes, that's how I understand it too. But I am not too familiar with the band, so :) In skandinavia religion isn't a huge thing. Goes hand in hand with tolerance, who would of thought? :P
@@Spasstiful well, not really paradoxical. Actual “Satanism” is more a movement mocking religious doctrine and encouraging worship of the self than an actual religion in and of itself.
@@2yoyoyo1Unplugged Hmm, I didn't think of it as a form of critique as far as I came in contact with ocultism/satanism. But may be true, I believe you on that since you probably have more experience of the "scene". Regardless of it being an counterfy ideology simply meant to upset religion or it being taken as a serious belief, it does it in both cases.
G H O S T 🤘 Now that was a pleasant surprise. Ghost is pure earcandy for me. Sooo many great songs, also with vocals. My favourite is probably From The Pinnacle To The Pit.. The main riff there is 🔥🔥🔥
Ghost is fantastic live. I’ve also seen them live a handful of times. They’re a quality band with a strong stage presence and rich instrumentation/song writing.
They do have a vocalist, you just happened to choose about the only track of theirs without vocals! But that sax solo 😂😍 I recommend you check out literally anything else of theirs, it’s all good in my opinion, saw them live in December and was not disappointed 🙌 🐀
@@deanwolfechannel Can confirm, I saw them too and it was a show close to 3 hours long. Tons of theatrics and goofing around combined with amazing musicianship and stage presence, 10/10 entertainment in its purest form.
Daniel Lehnert ye man notice how I said “about” I wasn’t saying this was their only instrumental. I wasn’t going to start listing every instrumental. But cheers for out Ghosting me....I surrender you win 😂
While this is a great song on it's own, it leads directly into "Danse Macabre", which you should do next. And this is one of their only instrumental tracks. Strange choice considering Tobias (in his various satanic cardinal forms and names) is the lead singer and only full member of the group. He employs musicians to tour and session musicians for the studio. But this is really his band. Also, they were only temporarily Ghost BC in the US, that legal battle was finally settled and you can just call them Ghost everywhere now.
They do have vocalist. You can choose whatever song you want, I think you wouldnt be dissapointed. If you want to hear another of their instrumental I recommend Helvetesfonster and Genesis - best instrumental of Ghost for me.
Fun fact about Ghost. All of the musicians wear full costumes and are unidentified except as Nameless Ghouls (they have alchemy symbols to differentiate). Dave Grohl did a guest stint on drums as a Nameless Ghoul so who knows who else has done it or will do it in the future.
It's actually pretty well known among fans. Grohl produced their "If You Have Ghost" EP, and almost certainly played drums on the studio recording of their Abba cover "I'm A Marionette." If you want to know a list of former performing band members, do a search for "Ghost Lawsuit" and you'll find out a bunch.
I’ve heard that Linnéa Olsson was a Ghoul, but I don’t know for sure if that’s true. I’d love to find out for certain and check out her performances with Ghost if it is true, because she’s one of my favorite guitarists.
Louie Garcia I agree! I am a big fan of ghost I’ve seen the twice live and they’re such a fun band, but I don’t think this is a very good representation of the band but it is a great song none the less.
Louie Garcia that’s understandable, I did immediately like them but only listened to a few of their tracks until their third album when I really started to like them and started listening to their deeper cuts which IMO its really hard to find a bad track by them. Hopefully you’ll come along to liking them if Dean decides to do some more vids on them.
I want to throw in a recommendation that is often thrown around in the Dear Hunter fanbase because of their concept story album approach. If you're interested in more non-metal prog. This band is a very talented husband/wife duo. I'll just leave it at that. They are a golden find. Artist: Dirt Poor Robins Album: The Raven Locks Act 3 Song: Behold the Grave
Wow i liked it. Gonna dig in. This song must be a concept album song. And this feels like a passage song. Btw have ever got copyright issues in ur past videos?
Dean Wolfe well...sort of. To me, on a concept album, each song is part of an entire story arc. With Ghost, only some of the songs on each album tell a story. From the Ghost Wiki: “The theme of Opus Eponymous ties in with the band's second album, Infestissumam: "Everything on the first record was about a coming darkness, an impending doom. Whereas the new record is about something present, and literally, the new record deals with the presence of the Anti-Christ, the Devil." The first album ended with "Genesis", the birth of the Antichrist, and Infestissumam continues from the Antichrist's birth onward.”
Not sure he/you will like it as much though... This is where they (or he - Tobias Forge - who is behind all the music) are really "prog" in a more classical sense. Another "prog-instrumental" would be the song Genesis... (not surprisingly 😊) Great progressive leans in many other songs as well though.
K, I'm confused. This sounded either like the credits at the beginning of a buddy cop drama in LA, or the montage piece for the girls from the disadvantaged school that just *need* to win that cheerleader regional in 1989. I thought Ghost was a metal band of unnamed ghouls with a singing anti-pope whose music was about Satan, not Stanford Junior High...

this song leads into Dance Macabre, when you listen to the two together it just flows from one to the other beautifully.
Drums come in, glasses come off. He knew in that moment this is a banger
the best song I have heard in years
great
Papa Nihil in sunglasses playing saxo is the coolest thing I've witnessed in my life😂
The other really proggy tune on Prequelle is "Helvetesfönster." - I think you'd really dig that one too.
With Mr Akerfeldt from Opeth at the end
It cracked me up when I learned what Helvetesfönster meant, lol.
Cool, I looked it up
