Holy shit it's finally here lmao. Sorry for the wait. MORE INFO Links: docs.google.co... No obligation, but if you want to: ko-fi.com/cere... Follow me: Tumblr: / ceremonyanddevotion Twitter: / goddamnitangie
I hope you don't mind if I add some extra info here! I just think these are some fun extra tidbits! If I remember correctly, the Prequel cover was inspired by a Sepultura album cover, the same one Tobias has tattoo'd on his left bicep (it was his first tattoo!) On the cover, and on his tattoo, there's a Itty bitty Death that you can see, and it looks almost exactly like the one that's on the variations of the Prequel cover. I believe Tobias said this was on purpose, as one last little nod of appreciation to Sepultura. I wish I had sources, I'm sorry! I think they were all written interviews! Swede Saint Peter could also refer to Pelle “Peter” Hällje, who came up with idea for a Papa Emeritus, and who testified on the side of the lawsuit ghouls during the trial The Year Zero uh, nude model, was the bassist at the time! "Papa Emeritus II" said it was a band member during a reddit AMA, but I don't know where the confirmation of it being the bassist came from. Slavghoul has said it more than once though! You're right about Tobias deciding to pick between album themes to do first for Meliora and Prequelle, I know I definately learned this recently, but I don't remember where! I think it was an audio interview, and from the Impera era
@@splat-tastic slav is a user on tumblr, that provides info etc. it's clear they have a connection to the band and that how they get some of the info they get, we don't look into it bc they could get in trouble.
There was a vine someone used to summarize Tobias and it literally was just Tyler the Creator getting asked what’s his inspiration and he replied, “to be better than everyone because I hate everyone.” and honestly if that isn’t Tobias, I don’t know what is. Lol
Agree. I mean people already knew during the myspace days that it was the singer of Repugnant. Impressive by Tobias to just ignored all the rumors for so long.
I just wanted to say that I've been a Ghost fan since Halloween 2021, but I had a fair bit of exposure to the band prior, mainly being your An Unhelpful Guide To Ghost video. Back then I had no clue wtf was going on, but now having watched it 3 times I'm on a downward spiral in my love for this band. As of now, I went to the ritual last week in London and it was a fuckin religious experience. You're partly to blame for this and I thank you dearly for helping introduce me to my favorite band. By the way I have a huge crush on Cirrus now and it's all your fault
The He Is mask wasn't stolen, as expalined in Drowned Boy's vid Tobias gave the mask to the director of the music video, who later sold it to him, alongside the white jacket that Tobias wore in the same video
no, in the video he said that they claimed to have been given it from the band, but when he checked with them, it wasn't the case, insinuating they stole it.
I love Bigs the Bishop, hes such an incredible artist, but Yukkedon will always be my favorite, simply because I like his style more. Zbig has a lot of detail and realism in how he folds his designs together, but Yukke has such simple pop art style flat color character designs that i just vibe with so hard.
I don't listen to Ghost as much as I used to cuz Popestar was not my cup of tea. Haven't been into Ghost since then. These videos rekindled my love for Ghost!
I just learned that Zbigniew Bielak is from Poland (I'm from Poland too) so I'm really happy to know that ghost has something to do with Poland haha (when I saw his name I was 99% sure he's polish I just had to check his facebook lmao)
Same here :)) I’m a fellow Pole and I’ve checked out Zbigniew as well. He used to call himself “episcopus cracoviensis” (a bishop of Cracow) back in the day when Ghost was still anonymous.
Been a fan since August 2020. Keep up the great work on the series. Hail Ghost and hail Papa. Btw the said pic you said of He Is on the 2:09 mark of the music video, I did go back and spotted it myself, just gotta slow the video down quite a bit to catch it. Great find. :)
Yes, This was such a nice surprised after work, I had to rewatch the first one again. I like all the little details that is hard to miss, but what can I say. Awesome.
Just started listening to their music the other day and these videos have helped learn a lot more about this band so thank you for taking the time to make these :)
i would assume so in universe, hopefully we can have a flashback chapter about it! SLD art is making a comic about copia post chapter 10 that shows some!
I'm pretty sure I heard the Meliora and Prequelle concepts being around at the same time thing too. I swear he said somewhere that Klaus Ahlund was part of the decision to do Meliora's concept first.
Hey, is "The Devil's Hands" tour mockumentary on this list? I never see anyone talking about it. It's hilarious! Warning if you look it up; it has full nudity
just another sad zoomer, it has been two months. i have been awaiting for the next iceberg part for two months. im going to start disassociating. i NEED THE NEXT PART.
Am I trippin' or what, I know Hunter's moon was also the credits for Halloween Ends when I went to see it last year, maybe it was different based on the theater? 🤔🧐 pls help
yes it was! there was a film version that was slightly different, less guitars etc. you can find high quality rips of it on youtube, I personally prefer the single version.
Wait tobias actually knows candlemass and likes their music? Hmm They were the warmup band for the time i was at a ghost concert, and uhh they were pretty bad live at least. Maybe its just that it wasnt set up for them, but the sound was bad, and the music sounded pretty stale and uninspired so idk
Candlemass was actually one of the main inspirations for Ghost. Before taking on the role of Papa Emeritus, Tobias actually had Candlemass’ old vocalist Messiah Marcolin (and some other fellas) in mind for frontman, but he turned down the offer. The operatic voice Tobias used for Papa I-III was actually inspired by Messiah Marcolin.
Tobias is a big fan, and is at least acquaintances with Leif Edling. I talked to him in 2017 about them and their album art that features The Voyage of Life. Not only did Tobias know the paintings were by Thomas Cole, but he's tried to convince Lief to use the other paintings in the series for album art.
Angie is really going down the rabbit hole here. As much as a number of Ghost fans may shit on Priest, they produced some good music (if you avoid reading into any butthurt meaning behind some). The Ginger Khan days were the best. Linton Rubino isn't a vey good singer.
@@doomerzoomer Cyberhead has some good tracks off of it, too, and the more A Signal in the Noise is good, as well. Beating my point to death, Linton Rubino is a good musician and producer, but he struggles with doing the stuff live. Dark wave can be done live just fine. Look at Twin Tribe's Part Time Punks sessions.
I'm not sure what you are referring to, the offical video is still up where he is parodying Tony Alamo (also a cult leader) you may just be getting confused.
You want to be a one man band but can't pay your band mates.. Ghouls??? Your shit will run out fast the next time no one wants to play with you anymore. Then you will be the no Ghouls... Papa and no body.
Tobias paid his former ghouls, they just expected more money than they were worth, and considering he now has professional touring members, who have played with the likes of Paramore, Sisters of Mercy and Brody Dale, I can assume they reckon they have a good deal going with Tobias.
considering america is a world superpower, their actions have consequences on the world, so yeah, we all get an opinion on it, especially when america went headfirst into fascism.
i hate it when any musician gets political, that’s not something that you publicly say unless you want to lose fans. doesn’t matter if it supporting one party or the other
While I love Ghost and enjoy these videos and will go see them live, I could have done without the remark made at 4:59. True he is not nor ever was your President.

Who's Slavghoul? They're always treated like a god in ghost but idk who they are and why they're held in such high regard

thats fucking cool
The more I learn about Tobias, the more I'm convinced he operates entirely on spite, and I love it. 😆
Same here 😂
There was a vine someone used to summarize Tobias and it literally was just Tyler the Creator getting asked what’s his inspiration and he replied, “to be better than everyone because I hate everyone.” and honestly if that isn’t Tobias, I don’t know what is. Lol
reSPITE on the spittlefields
If that is the case I approve his message
It works for me…
Spite is an incredible motivator
That plushie is so cursed and at the same time so fitting lmao
I thought my ghost obsession was slowly becoming healthier but since I saw them in paris on monday I've just been thinking about them 24/7
same. saw them in frankfurt yesterday and oh god, now I'm obsessed again. (maybe bc I just wanna go back on that concert very badly)
yup, saw them in Rotterdam on easter sunday and it was perfect, can't get them out of my head
We're in this together people... Past ritual depression hitting hard... I feel you 🙂
If sassy comebacks were a person they'd be Tobias Forge. I love how he turns beef into a joke and strikes gold with it every time.
Gotta give Tobias credit for how long he spent in anonymity even though he was outted before the lawsuit
Agree. I mean people already knew during the myspace days that it was the singer of Repugnant. Impressive by Tobias to just ignored all the rumors for so long.
This video is gonna make it harder for us to get the Walter grey mask, I’m betting on it. There’s gonna be an increased demand. Gonna stock up
the site i showed isn't the only site and he does go by other names sometimes so he'll always be around.

Yukkedon's art is just incredible. EDIT: Did hear some mixed reviews on the t-shirts though.
the latest amazon exclusive design is poor quality apparently, but the standard ones that are gildan are great :)
@@doomerzoomer Thank you! I need to get at least one of these designs 😄
Tbh as someone who's just getting into Ghost and their lore/fandom/etc., these vids are super helpful 🖤

Tobias just did an episode with the morbid podcast and it was really cool to hear him answer their questions and talk about what songs are about
WHEN I TELL YOU I SCREAMED WHEN THIS APPEARED IN MY NOTIFS
Hearing the House of Doom intro with the Wii music softly playing in the background also made me howl!
Tobias lives on spite and spite alone, I swear.
I had an extremely rough day today, and this helped.
I love Bigs the Bishop, hes such an incredible artist, but Yukkedon will always be my favorite, simply because I like his style more. Zbig has a lot of detail and realism in how he folds his designs together, but Yukke has such simple pop art style flat color character designs that i just vibe with so hard.
yukke is a girl
@@doomerzoomer AH YES SHE IS- mixing up pronouns while i write fdsjlfl
The Director character was also dubbed Rudi Valentine early on, although that name is rarely used.

Thank you ghestie 👏 amazing as always

This is fantastic and I mean truly fantastic I genuinely learned a lot in this one
I don't listen to Ghost as much as I used to cuz Popestar was not my cup of tea. Haven't been into Ghost since then. These videos rekindled my love for Ghost!

@@doomerzoomer hey, that's prtty cool, i hope Papa Forgeritus attends our wishes and make it canon
MCC recently confirmed a new full length album is coming out
almost shitted myself at the copia plush entry

I'm pretty sure I heard the Meliora and Prequelle concepts being around at the same time thing too. I swear he said somewhere that Klaus Ahlund was part of the decision to do Meliora's concept first.
Thanks again for the excellent video. I laughed my ass off at the plush potato section.
YAASSSSS EXCELLENT WORK GHESTIE!!!
The plushie story is sending me pls
These videos give me life
Tobias reminds me of a cross between Freddy Mercury and Joel Gray in Cabaret .
3:35 - Fun fact. In sweden, we celebrate christmas 24 december. Instead of the 25th.
Poor Tobias.
