Ghost "Ritual" (OFFICIAL)

[TheOmegaeyes]

Strange that this band is labeled as doom. They have such an obvious Mercyful Fate/King Diamond influence.

[fatheraabed]

Amazing 666

[HeldInScorn]

WarrenWalker30 created 53 accounts to dislike this solitary video because he is a Christ worshipping closet homosexual.

[HeldInScorn]

@travistole you'd be correct if your comment had any significance to what I said. I never implied anything of that nature. Mutt.

[HeldInScorn]

If the only thing you hear from Ghost relating to Megadeth is that one riff than you've got a lot to learn about music.

[travistotle]

@HeldInScorn And if you think that Dave Mustaine is the inventor of that riff then you've got even more to learn about music.

[HeartInChains258]

@travistotle Inventor? Seriously? o.o

[HeldInScorn]

Ghost opening up for Opeth is fucking brilliant!

[2122Hellfire]

I remember i heard this on Spotify and i thought it was some band from the 60s, i'm glad to hear to see it's an up and coming band, the world needs more music like this.

[2122Hellfire]

@2122Hellfire Whoops put to hear in there by mistake

[RLthehammer]

Black Sabbath mixed with Blue Oyster Cult, Mercyful Fate, WitchFinder General & Megdeth nice! Love the sound of this band! \m/

[Warrenwalker30]

Faggot music for devil worshiping pussies!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[jdevassy1]

@Warrenwalker30 You're wife told me that you have a tiny little penis....is it true, Warren?

[jdevassy1]

@Warrenwalker30 She also said she's very creeped out by all the child porn you have on your hard drives....she's conflicted about what to do....you better talk to her, Warren.

[jdevassy1]

@Warrenwalker30 Your wife also explained that if she'd known you'd make so little money giving guitar lessons, she never would have married you. You've failed her, Warren....it is what it is.

[jdevassy1]

@Warrenwalker30  Micro-phallused pedophilic underachiever.....hmmm, Warren?

[CraigMoon23]

The age of Satan is here !!!!!

[boredperson81]

Wow, finally a listenable metal band nowadays. 

[OctoberRust96]

2:08-2:12 Iron maiden?

[blagorodna90]

@OctoberRust96 Are you serious?

[jdevassy1]

We can debate the merits of Ghost all we want....but at the end of the day, they are a devastating and scathing indictment of Christianity and all the serious bullshit it represents.....keep up the good work, Ghost.

[zanderstigen]

hang the pope, hang the pope

hang him with this rope

let's go to the Vatican

get him out of bed

put the noose around his neck

and hang him 'til he's dead - ANb

[Weisswurschtwarrior]

@zanderstigen hell yeah fuckin´ nuclear assault!!! another awesome band^^

[havok917]

50 people need to commit Ritual suicide!!!

[mirandafialho]

50 dislikes from Pope.

[OctoberRust96]

@mirandafialho 50 dislikes from overly religious Jesus freaks.

[eu22vangogh]

@mirandafialho ahahahahaha

[Neuffey]

The most happiest sounding chorus of the the most evil lyrics being sung XD BRILLIANT! \m/ \m/

[MutteringUrchin]

Sweet like Hotel California and Stairway to Heaven.

[TheOldnick666]

Mercyful Fate has influenced yet another killer band!!!!

[murderjunkie97]

Ghost is fucking great! Love the heavy Mercyful Fate/King Diamond influence!

[swbsjb]

Ghost Opeth, and Mastodon are touring the US this year!

[MutteringUrchin]

Almost every riff/melody is somewhere else in some form, no matter what the band. Symphony of Destruction's chorus sounds almost exactly like Roxx Gang's No Easy Way Out opening riff progression and chorus from 1988.

[Cowmookaze]

They were at Fortarock in Holland :) I caught their guitar pick, huur hurrr :D

[boredomtube]

the instrumental sounds like a MIDI file, like the life has been stripped out of it, tame, anyone hearing this?

[Air2011grupa]

@boredomtube turn it to 480+p ?

[cuicuilovers]

do I hear symphony of destruction? lol

[Fenrisdisciple91]

wow this came out a year ago today.

[Fenrisdisciple91]

wow this came out a year ago today.

[Horzagiar]

Only real member of the Church of Satan in musicbis' is the singer of Root. Marilyn was just for advertisement and King Diamond says that his view of life is close to LaVey's, but he doesn't follow his path, he's a member. Satanists don't burn churches satanworshippers do. Traditional satanism forbbids violence against the humans. There is a concept of revenge but every satanist I know don't accept it. Don't get any ideas, let's make it clear: I don't follow LaVey or any other paths.

[TheWolvesCurse]

@Horzagiar varg vikernes has never been a satanist, almost no one of the norwegian black circle who burned churches was somekind of satan worshipper.

[Horzagiar]

@TheWolvesCurse True. There is a differences between Norwegian churchburnings and satanworshipper's doings. In Norwey it's this way how Varg and others sees hertiage of vikings and satanworshippers just do it because satan "wants" destruction. My comment was aimed to these who said that satanists burn churches.

[TransylvanyanForest]

@Horzagiar Traditional satanism is the devilworshipping! Modern satanism is what you described after!

[Horzagiar]

Great band. I have seem them live too times. I mean who cares if they are satanists? I got two friends who are satanist and they are very down to earth yet polite and funny. You don't become part of the evil conspirecy if you listen to this kind of music. Satanist lyrics don't make a listener a satanist. You don't become a satanist by force, you become a satanist because you're willing to. You don't become satanist by listening to Ghost or Black Metal.

[ff6rox]

@ ghostfleye how can you even compare ozzy to this lead singer? i love sabbath dude, but ozzy has shit vocals man haha this singer has superior vocals to ozzy no doubt.

[Chordinated]

anarchy club meets blue oyster cult?

[DeliciousDivo]

I hear Blue Oyster Cult and "Symphony of Destruction"

Really dig it

[unknown29066]

reminds me of anton lavey ^.^

[ghostfleye]

Hmmm... The main riff sounds like a watered down version of Symphony Of Destruction.

The Singer Sounds LIke A watered down Version Of Ozzy Osbourne.

Not bad song in and of itself.

Kinda bland though...

JUST MY OPINION...

[murcia1975]

I just love this song !!!

[xcepttionel]

They are the underground beatles of this time.

[Udontgetmymetal]

I'm a christian. I don't give a fuck about their religious views, this is just badass music.

[quadcamchoppa01]

band is good but srysly satanic crap is fuckin gay

[thehostileapostle]

@quadcamchoppa01 celebrate the end!

[asZskicker666]

@quadcamchoppa01 Seriously you're fuckin gay

[serjdd]

@quadcamchoppa01 yeah,satanism in metal is kind of a turnoff for me too.it's just as predictable as all these pop singers whining about love.Still,great song.

[zjerkstudios]

@serjdd you don't belive in God?

[serjdd]

@zjerkstudios not really

[zjerkstudios]

@quadcamchoppa01 have fun in hell.

[qxpxqx]

This shit rules. It takes some serious balls to be this fucking awesome of a band.

[MsSlayerized666]

I just noticed they're on MetalBladeRecords!! wow... I'm slow... I love this band.. totally Mercyful Fate sort of stuff.

[hemisynch]

This song is catchier than the ebola virus!

[666xThrasher]

wow so AWESOME .... and live at germany (25.11) whuuuuuuuuuu .... and fuck of christian haters!!

[thehostileapostle]

I play bass and I just started making my own music. These guys are such inspiration that great doom metal is still out there today. I can't wait to see them live!

[18francesco18]

Am I the only one who hears ''Symphony of Destruction'' in there ?

[occupyzombieland]

@18francesco18 I did too, you're not alone :)

[joshberry90]

@18francesco18 just the first part of the lick, the duh duh duh

[assinsane]

@18francesco18 same here

[PartialViewmusic]

@18francesco18 Finally somebody who also hears the alike sound

[Heartattackandvine1]

@18francesco18 Yes, you are.

[elephunt78]

@18francesco18 for sure, and anything by Blue Oyster Cult

[HellsWeed]

@18francesco18

And breaking the law and some others...

[stunycrew246]

@18francesco18 mind=blown

[Corpzmaker91]

@18francesco18 Yeah your right! for 2 seconds in the main riff, not the whole riff.

[stiltworks]

@18francesco18 Yeah, the beginning of that riff is totally Symphony of Destruction. I like where they go with it though.

[Moobeastie]

Seen these guys in Necastle last night, i had never checked out this band before hand so i didnt know what to expect. When they first came on stage i was a bit like 'WTF?' but they put on an excellent performance and im glad that i had the chance to see them.

[Toma4449]

@Moobeastie I was there to dude, however, I did check 'em out before the gig, a lot of the crowd looked confused and stunned haha, but yeah, I thought they were brilliant.

[AshieVengeance]

I saw these at defenders of the faith III at manchester academy. they we're brilliant!

[TheKalZul]

@AshieVengeance Same! I want his hat!

[BLSNunsWithGunsLJA]

@AshieVengeance civic hall wolves, they were pretty good, but rise to remain were brilliant.

[derlordreich]

hail satan!

[Isbj0rnen]

Really great music, this band is Satanists in a 70's rock package, and they are more serious than most of the black metal bands that all kids are listening to.

[qu7aker]

@Isbj0rnen Are they actually satanists? or is it a gimmick? or both like King Diamond.

[Coltsfan242424]

@qu7aker i ask the same question, cuz im a devout catholic but i love them as a band, just not the lyrics

[qu7aker]

@Coltsfan242424 i dont believe in religon so i could care less lol. But in terms of lyrics its gota be a gimmick. The agression of them wanting people to read the lyrics and be like hail satan! aint there like it is with some old school black metal bands.

[GruntGroove]

This is a very good song. Saw them live and believe me they CAN play the guitar. They're not the most insane guitarists, but they are well competent and play very tight

[LGathLax]

I really like this. Has a feel of Blue Oyster Cult. Well constructed and well played song.

[TheDeadlykid]

concert in munich

[TATELANDDOG]

i hear a bit of symphony of destruction at :30 UP THE IRONS FROM LOUISIANA

[papolooba]

Did i hear a riff from the Misfit-song "Crimson Ghost" at 2:03?

[bleedingeyes08]

Somebody told me this band was cool and to check 'em out. Thanks for wasting my time. This is shit.

[thokih1]

@bleedingeyes08 shit ?, just like your face.

[bleedingeyes08]

@thokih1 Fuck you. I thought this was horrible until I listened to your band that's even worse.

[thokih1]

@bleedingeyes08 haha that was a long time ago, why did you even bother leaving a comment hating on these guys ? its just retarded... you seem to be a real shitfaced douchebag get outta here and while your at it try getting a life.

[HeleneSlipknot]

Oh my holy shit, I heard this band for the first time live. I thought, "WHAT THE HELL IS THIS SHIT!?" Fucking shitty!!! But when I heard it here, on youtube, it was kinda catchy!! >.<' :)

[hedgehog246]

beasty video posted on my birthday. good stuff

[hunterhearsthelmsy]

better than megadeth 13.....gotta be best metal album released in the whole year.

[karlmoles65]

Also the killer Guitar solo is WAY too short

[karlmoles65]

Somebody's been listening to Blue Oyster Cult.

[Warrenwalker30]

@Moggisch I gladly said that with a smile on my face but, good music? Ha you silly man child haha

[Warrenwalker30]

@CHUDenee thankyou very much your the first person in weeks who agrees with me about this shit fuc**ng band that all these faggots are enjoying so much even my little sister rocks out harder than these devil worshiping pussies

[Moggisch]

@Warrenwalker30

Wow. Why so much butthurt over this band? Not happy with people enjoying music?

[CHUDenee]

Fuck this band. Fuck them hard.

[MrMetallicaforlife]

i like it more than Megadeth's 'Thirteen'....

[jeffandmatthardyrule]

This is the most mellow satanic band I've ever heard... lolwut is going on here?

[jdevassy1]

For centuries, the role of organized religion within human culture, has been analyzed by philosophers, politicians, clergy...and, most importantly, the common man who chooses to think about, and critically evaluate, the social influences that surround him. Ghost speaks effectively and forcefully to an ever-growing segment of thinking humans who categorically reject the truly corrosive and venomous influence that Christianity represents. They are the death knell of this dying, bloodied beast.

[alternativebassist]

@jdevassy1 I'm sorry but that is a stupidly arrogant assumption to make. Going over what you've said, I fail to see how clergy have shown that christianity is a "venomous" force, this of course being merely an opinion as a very many people would disagree by stating the healing and benefits that Christianity attempts to provide to society. But once again this is your opinion; although the vast majority of philosophers and politicians who have "analysed" christianity would disagree with you

[GoreGrindingTerror]

@alternativebassist He doesn't articulate his point well. Although many of the bible's teachings are benofficial but many of the passages are outdated or just ludicrous bigotry. The 'Venomous' element of christianity is its image of a harsh unforgiving force against the world (and has been since its conception) through wars, sexual deviation, hipocrisy, corruption (unto itself and others) and the undying need to be the supreme religion... but enacted through its uppermost and fanatic followers

[redoubt9000]

Whoa! Sounds like a modern metal blue oyster cult! Love it!

[BINSROCK]

love ghost and best thing about them nobody has a fucking clue who they are for all we know thats fucking rebecca black on the drums :L

[Adamkillander]

how you gonna call? GHOST busters! :D

[Warrenwalker30]

About that comment my wife said that she saw that people where talking shot to me on here while I was at work and that was her reply I explained that to her that , the comment didn't help my argument lol

[mansonfan128]

@Warrenwalker30 : U say people who scream to music are retard and u hear Atreyu and Slipknot ?! xD

LMFAO XDD

[FrozenHelium]

Just goes to show that you don't have to growl into a microphone or machine gun your instruments to be a top tier metal band. A nice change of pace; one of my new favorite bands.

[Petruccibear]

@FrozenHelium

Yeah, this band seems kinda cool. They harken back to metal at its very roots; really cool, unique, sound.

[Warrenwalker30]

@prhill 9696 you silly boy you are also clueless to what good music is this is begginers music I could teach a 5 year old to play this whole song in his first session but seriously dude could you list ten of your fav. Bands I'm interested in learning and hearing new music

[DF1ca]

@Warrenwalker30 OMG YOU'RE SO HARDCORE

[Warrenwalker30]

@everyone, playing guitar doesn't make anyone a badass any stupid fuck can play a guitar I don't brag cause I'm not the best, but for this music it's just not good if you guys like this music i just feel bad for you I'm actually interested in knowing what other music y'all like I want to see if one of y'all or more will reply and list ten of your favorite bands he'll I might actually find a new band that I might like help me understand!!!

[matte94bear]

@Warrenwalker30 Want ten bands? Ghost Ghost Ghost Ghost Ghost Ghost Ghost Ghost Ghost Ghost

[ArrPeeGeefan]

@Warrenwalker30 ..WTF did I just read?

[OrderOvNine]

@Warrenwalker30 I am very happy with this band. I dont care how badass anyone thinks they are at playing guitar. I look for the music that catches my ear. Not runnin up and down a guitar fretboard like your trying to jack your guitar off. So keep on teaching guitar lessons and leave the real music to us.

[Neuffey]

These guys kick ass!!!!

[Methrt3]

Reminds me of Blue Oyster Cult, I like it.

[Warrenwalker30]

I've listened to this song a couple times and I don't get it the music is elementary it has horrible structure I call it horrible but it's begginers music I'm actually a guitar god I teach lead guitar classess in forth worth tx you all next to widen your horizon of music seriously if you guys think this is as good as it gets man I'm sorry but this music is literaly shit

[MrMetalfr3ak]

@Warrenwalker30 Simple is always better, playing pro is just so fucking boring. Be more open-minded please!

[Rattlepiece]

@Warrenwalker30 I guess the reason the death penatly still exists is because there are people like you around..

[ArrPeeGeefan]

@Rattlepiece That wasn't nice at all! D:

[PRHILL9696]

@Warrenwalker30 you wish you were good enough to be in a famous band like "Ghost"

[grimhero]

@Warrenwalker30 do you mean Fort Worth???

[InTheShadowOfHorns]

@Warrenwalker30 Claims to be a guitar god who only listens to quality and talented music.

Listens to Five Finger Death Punch.

I'm not a guitarist (or hell, any sort of musician) and I know that Ghost is simple. They do it well, and make music that is enjoyable, catchy, and fresh. FFDP (and the rest of your music too) makes shit.

[ArrPeeGeefan]

@Warrenwalker30 I don't get your writing, it's very elementary....

[Warrenwalker30]

Oh and alice chains thanx ohmah 70. But for the rest of y'all I still need a answer on what good music is cause apparentley I don't know

[agentcamo]

This is Real Music,

No drum machines, no digital vocals

all purely recorded and overdubbed

Perfect. Thank Satan

[Warrenwalker30]

Ok now I want to know what do y'all consider good music

[Warrenwalker30]

Atreyu , bullet4my Val. Avenged7x, breaking Ben., element 80 , slipknot , as I lay dying , Evans blue , strata , pantera ,chevelle, sublime, deftones, threedaysdrace, 30 seconds to mars , 10 years , coheed, hatebreed, 5 finger death punch, killswitch engage, and so on

[SoilworkerDano]

@Warrenwalker30 If you are not a troll, then my mind might just implode by the sheer stupidity.

[ohmah70]

@Warrenwalker30 Dont forget ALICE IN CHAINS

[MetalMK100]

@Warrenwalker30 damm dude your music suks, no offence

[ghomicide]

@Warrenwalker30 The majority of the bands you mentioned are really not that good. It seems you like some of the generic core bands. I mean 5 finger death punch? And you claim to be a guitar god? I feel sorry for you. Five finger death punch fucking sucks. You have no room to speak.

[MrxKrinkle]

@Warrenwalker30 3 Days Grace? DUDE YOURE FUCKING GAY!!

[Ale3202]

@MrxKrinkle wtf,i listen ghost,dying fetus,3DG,amon amarth,chilren of bodom ,alestorm,iron maiden ac/dc,sonata arctica ,stratovarius linkin park,slipknot,korn,queen,bob seger,that's makes me gay too?

[MetalMK100]

@Ale3202 lol slipknot... gayyyyyy :)

[Ale3202]

@MetalMK100 wtf

[Horzagiar]

@Warrenwalker30 None of those is music. Just noise.

[Warrenwalker30]

Your the one that's related

[Warrenwalker30]

You people are fucking retarted! This is not fucking music! It's fucking noise! It sounds like shit! And the people screaming(not singing with music) but screaming are fucking retarted too!!!!!!!!!

[Consignion]

@Warrenwalker30 Sure you posted this comment to the right video? Because nothing you said is reltated to this video....

[Ale3202]

@Warrenwalker30 so what is music?

[pan0s95]

@Warrenwalker30 yeah yeah we're all retarded go listen to your 30 seconds of mars so you can meet a braindamaged girl to fuck. god (satan) your stupidity is beyond the horizon . oh and btw 828 people are saying to go fuck yourself prick

[pinballwizard150]

Uriah Heep made a Epic Doom Metal album and nobody told me! WTF!!

[knightwish69]

Not bad but I think The Devil's Blood sounds much better

[Shmotz28]

The demo version sound ,uch better :)

[zwylwyn]

long live Ghost! f*ck metalcore, screamo and other sh*tty music for little ugly f*ggots

[deadpharm]

Check out Austere Voyeur

[jdevassy1]

Ya really wanna get a true flavor of Ghost?.....youtube "Ritual @Roskilde Festival 2011".... the poster is "swepman".....amazing vid.....great talisman....fucking turn it up, get that fucking bass thump going.....Ghost rules.

[Warrenwalker30]

I was also gonna order this album then I thought to myself wait a minute I'm not a faggot a faggot for faggots faggoty music fucking fags

[KingOfParrots]

Was just going to order this album... But just one question, is this the version on the full length album? Maybe no reason to complain about one song, but I really liked the other version of Ritual better...

[hj7397]

Ghost is so fantastic. Seriously, it's about time a band like them surfaced while resurrecting such a classic sound that's laced perfectly together with jaw-dropping satanic lyrics. This song has more hooks than a fisherman's tacklebox.

[PRHILL9696]

@hj7397 I agree 100 percent!

[westernfilet]

So pissed they aren't on the Enslaved US tour! UGH!

[bassmanjoe]

34 dislikes? Come on people! This is great stuff, love the riff. Such a classic sound, glad it's back.
