It's a silicone mask. And yes Tobias writes together with other. Not because he needs to just because he likes it and he also thinks the songs get better with input from another person. Prequelle is about the black plague. Therefore the song Rats. Do Faith next 🤘
There have been several lineup changes, however right now Tobias has been touring with the same people since 2018, he kinda hinted that he's found his perfect match of musicians, in 2022 a new member joined, Ghost now having as many live band members as Slipknot!
I love love LOVE explaining Ghost to people (even though you've probably already heard of all of this before) All of the different "Papas" (the lead singers) are one person, Tobias Forge, wearing different masks to portray different characters throughout the bands albums/eras. They are referred to as Papa Emeritus I, II, III, and IV. Papa Emeritus IV is the only Papa not from the bloodline, hence why he started as Cardinal Copia (who we see in this music video). The Ghouls/Ghoulettes (female Ghouls) are instrumentalists and/or backing vocalists. The people under the masks stay anonymous for the most part, though some of their identities have been revealed. The Ghouls change over time as the members leave and join the band. Their costumes also change throughout the eras, as I'm sure you've noticed by the different costumes. Every album has a different theme. The one this song is from is called "Prequelle," which is themed around the Black Plague. All the albums are themed around the Anti-Christ. The band itself is not genuinely satanic, though Tobias Forge, I believe, is, though I may be wrong. In an interview, Tobias Forge said that when creating the image for the band Ghost, he wanted to combine the elements of metal music and a horror show. The scariest thing he could think of was Satan and the devil, therefore creating Ghost, the theatrical rock band with satanic overtones. There's much more detail I could go into, but this is sort of a basic general overview of the band. If you want to know more, there's plenty of videos and articles out there that can explain it more. Thank you to whoever took the time to read all this! If anyone has any questions, I'm more than happy to answer the best I can, and I hope that any newer fans have gained a bit more knowledge and clarity on the subject of Ghost.
We appreciate your genuine reactions! I started another reactor's video just yesterday and he started by saying "this is my favorite album"- turned it off! What we like to see is people falling in love with the things that we love. Some like to argue with those who don't love what we love, but I also like to hear others' opinions on things even if they don't agree.
I agree with you on the Ghouls masks, I love these ones the most. I believe in the beginning Tobias did it all and just hired a band to tour with. I believe he has someone now that he works with for the writing of the songs. I love how unique they are, and the fact you can't really put them in one genre. He Is is an interesting song, and if you react to it I strongly suggest you watch the official music Video! I haven't heard a song I haven't liked yet!
In this music video, the shots of Copia just lipsyncing and the ghouls playing instruments are all Tobias. The dancing Copia is a hired dancer in the mask.
OK so much to talk about here the darker part at the end is actually just a heavy version of the intro song (Spoksonat) to the song “He Is”. every time you see the singer from ghost it’s always a mask whether it’s a papa or an old man. Tobias writes most things himself but he does have a couple other ghouls that have credits in songs probably most famous of which is Martin Persner a.k.a. Omega (MCC). future songs to check out obviously he is which is a softer song as for heavier songs do you want to check out faith and from the pinnacle to the pit. I still recommend the live session called the Deezer session it’s three songs and presents a live yet studio feel to the songs and they’re all great.
I love the Ghost reactions, I've been learning a bunch of their songs on guitar they're incredibly fun and simple!! especially the outro of rats that you liked it's soooo addictive!! would be awesome to see you playing some of their music on your guitar ;D
I’ve heard a couple of reaction channels independently say that Tobias Forges voice reminds them of Weird Al Yankovics. Not in a mean or bad way, just that it does.
Had the same opinion as you with the outro. Wish it was longer but it also makes me listen the whole song again so its kinda genius. I recommend reacting to ghost - watcher in the sky
Hell yeah, another Ghost reaction! I've been waiting for it! Rats is the first Ghost song I ever heard and is still one of my favorites. The next song on the album is heavier than Rats (which makes sense with the outro of Rats), called Faith. If you want to check out his sound live, he did a cover of Sympathy For The Devil with the Hellacopters. His growl at the end is fantastic and I wish he would do it more often. Ghost live is amazing - I've been to two Rituals and can't wait for my next!

Btw, the ”evil horse” thing… remember Prequelle is a concept album built around the black plague.

If you want heavier, Con Clavi Con Dio, Ritual, Prime Mover, Mummy Dust, From the Pinnacle to the Pit, Absolution, and Faith.

Heavier than Rats... Ghost - faith from the same album.

Check out "From The Pinnacle To The Pit" and "He is", two of my favoriter, showing the scope of ghost's genious
Kaisarion is also a really good one! Rats used to be their concert opener but now kaisarion is. Such a good band!!

"Evil horse." LOL
Yes more Ghost! ❤❤❤❤ Tobias always wears a mask 🥰

I love how you say some "I never thought I'd see..." in each and every Ghost video haha

They don't have a video for it but you got to listen to their song called "twenties" I think you'd like it.
