ghost - ritual

[fallenvolrath]

fuck yeah!!! i just discovered this band and i cant' stop singing this song!

[hj7397]

Goddamn, this album has more hooks than a fisherman's tacklebox.

[hedbangr141]

This new wave of retro metal, i.e Ghost, The Devil's Blood, Uncle Acid and the deadbeats and Orchid, is fucking awesome!

[briqlet]

@hedbangr141 don't forget Witchcraft



[hedbangr141]

@briqlet Of course, not to mention Jex Thoth and Gentleman's Pistols.

[racewiththefalcons]

@hedbangr141 Don't forget Pagan Altar (an actual old band, but whatever). Mythical & Magical is one of the top 5 albums ever recorded in the history of music, so I would still count them.

[hedbangr141]

@racewiththefalcons Well they're more one the original bands to play this style, as opposed to the new wave of it. Still fucking awesome though.

[ZZombyWooff]

these guys seem to know their blue oyster cult.

[NickGimacutU]

Sounds like Symphony of Destruction! Which is a good thing!

[zgaskell]

All hail Sweden!

[13CIRCLE]

I seen Phil Anselmo and James Hetfield wearing Ghost T-Shirts...

[bassmanjoe]

Great guitar sound, cool riffs.

[incarnate4]

Thumbs up if you fount GHOST after this video :D

[sonia28ification]

I LOVE this Swedish band, being swedish American. I LOOOOOVE you Tobias you hottie! You are so clever to mock Catholism who stole from the Phillistine Dagon worshippers (pope's fish hat) and also the black mass!!!!!!!!!!!! Thanx for exposing catholism!

[ssmith87]

@sonia28ification I don't find other guys attractive, but I'll 2nd you on the Catholicism thing

[debgibsonfan]

Everyone compares them to BOC.....only Ghost already have more than 4 great songs!!!

[Xxagentorange666xX]

@debgibsonfan Uh, bad news, BOC has never written a bad song IMHO. But that's my opinion. Not fact.

[poopoo12ism]

Blue Oyster Occult



[Fraustt]

Perfect album for a Hallow's Eve ritual..

[Eospag]

I was expecting black metal. Huh. Well this is a lot better anyways, I can dig that raw doom metal sound.

[MissJeanette69]

I'm gonna listen to Ghost every Sunday morning starting next Sunday. XD

[MissJeanette69]

Sounds like Black Sabbath/Blue Oyster Cult/Mercyful Fate.

Hells yeah :)

[ArnoldVeeman]

goosebumps...



[13CIRCLE]

BEST NEW BAND!!

[evilhita666]

Needs more cowbell...

[TheRattlehead73]

this band sounds like a mix between blue oyster cult black sabbath pink floyd mercyful fate iron buttefly and maybe a tad bit of alice in chains and THEY FUCKING OWN!!!!!

[nathanaaronray]

The guitar is a bit boring, keyboards are interesting but I absolutely LOVE these fucking vocals lol.

[ArnoldVeeman]

@nathanaaronray its because of these guitars that these vocals stand out. That means that it is a very good and clean production. But I understand what you mean. You must be a musician? Am I right? ;-)

[13CIRCLE]

I love this so much...ultra satanic!

[sdconnerty123]

Our father, who art in.......HELL!

[RyanVonFleming]

please stop calling them black metal cos they aint

[sdconnerty123]

@RyanVonFleming read the lyrics to elizabeth. its not how aggresive the music is the darkness of the lyrics.

[13CIRCLE]

@sdconnerty123 Very well put....It's about the mood it creates...this is even More potent and Satanic because It's soo subtle in musical delivery....THAT makes it more EVIL. Too many saturated guitars does not make the music more dark, that's bullshit. It's the SPIRIT IN THE MUSIC that makes it POWERFUL. These guys to me have done it with class and I respect that musically.

[TheOfficialGoomba]

@RyanVonFleming yes they are... even so, it doesn't matter, I SURE WASNT EXPECTING THESE GUYS TO SOUND LIKE THIS! II'm pleasantly surprised, arent you?

[kDIMI7]

cool \m/

[notcleveratnames]

Nice, unpretentious guitar solos.

[Timonizarr]

2 people couldn't smell the ritual's human sacrifice.

[Marcopanci1]

people think that having great skiils and ply fast is the answer,i dont think so kids,u need to have a great songwriting skils and boys this lot are doing a great job.

[SydMichaelShepperd]

Blue Oyster Ghost

[Metalero564]

@SydMichaelShepperd I agree

[marsoleiltougas]

@SydMichaelShepperd Mercyful Blue Oyster Cult

[shamrock3131]

its awsome  like 60,s black metal haha cant stop listening

[tomistomasinensis]

these guys are pretty chill. sounds like something you should listen to if your baked

[zeppelin5000]

Anyone getting a Spinal Tap feel from the chorus parts? lol. Liking it tho ;-)

[ff6rox]

@ Given2theRising sad things is that mustaine talking and playing guitar is more entertaining than most metal bands these days lol im so glad to know a new band with influences from 70's metal and wants to keep that genre alive, but add a new flavor too.

[LEONARDOTORMENTOR]

HAIL SATAN!!!!! NO POSER!!

[TezcatlipocaAhuizot]

This reminds me Merciful Fate on their "Melissa" album. This is very nice :D

[sergiolopez3349]

This band is the psychedelic version of King Diamond.

[BlueDevil694]

Sounds like alot of BÖC influence, good shit

[CrazyRockstar123456]

Sound like Alice Cooper, Rob Zombie, and Avenged Sevenfold. anyone agree?

[scottorocker]

@CrazyRockstar123456 sounds like your mom

[sinbysin666]

@CrazyRockstar123456 Your comment filled my head with fuck...

[kingofthestoneage5]

@CrazyRockstar123456 Seriously? If that's all you know to compare this to you need to expand your musical tastes some....

[Mikeraske]

@CrazyRockstar123456 No.

[eibon81]

Gothasa6; Nice to see someone isn't slagging off their performance as many people here on YouTube seem to be doing! Find the live footage from the gig and you'll see what I mean!

[eibon81]

To Gothasa6 and Prutts; I saw them at the very same gig.....their Macabre Black Mass was indeed superb!

[Gothasas6]

@eibon81 indeed!Superb as you said. I was upstairs sitting but the whole atmosphere was so strong everywhere! :D

[MegaTommy97]

holy horseshit this is awesome!!

[scottorocker]

@MegaTommy97 your moms awesome

[MegaTommy97]

@scottorocker yes thats true also

[RasEnante]

Holy shit this is brilliant! Wow, a Heavy Metal band where you can ACTUALLY HEAR THE INDIVIDUAL INSTRUMENTS!!!

[thehostileapostle]

@RasEnante It's called Doom Metal. Ever Heard of Mercyful Fate, Candlemass?

[Zeloim23]

My new favourite band. Wonderful.

[Prutts]

Saw these before Trivium at Brixton Academy sunday night, quality!

[Gothasas6]

Saw them live at o2 brixton yesterday! What a great ritual.. Keep on!!!

[satansatin]

@Gothasas6 I'm jelly.

[scottorocker]

@satansatin your moms jelly

[Raphinha9393]

Looks like Mercyful Fate "Return of The Vampire" 1993 version

[franconbean]

Saw them live in London yesterday. Great performance unlike anything I've seen before. Anyone know if they will return to the UK anytime soon?

[larababe101]

They were good at Manchester so dont say anything till you actually hear them live thanks!

[TheKalZul]

They rocked in Manchester last night! \m/

[thatswedishguy100]

A ghost from the past!

[ohenriks]

Its music for fuck sake. Dont become conservatives of it!

[D00MSHR00MIN32]

COME TO ME GHOST COME TO ME!!! MUAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAH AAAAAAGH!!! \m/

[SDMFAnthony01]

ok, granted...these guys are good, but they are NO merciful fate!!!!! they don't have even half of the skill or darkness fates guitarists have...just for starters.

[FrozenHelium]

i wanna procreate the unholy bastard too

[varghatesyou]

someone on here said this was a megadeth rip off,this sounds nothing like megadeth.Of course his comment had the phrase "down for life" and the word "knucca" in it so his opinion is invalid

[KelanY]

dat first 25 seconds

[DeathFan94]

i like this kind of sound...it is so old school !

[Gamiasable1]

1 dislike?xDD

[ghostae138]

@Gamiasable1 Harold Camping was here... :\

[wolverine6511]

This the best Mercyful Fate that MF haven't recorded.

[ghomicide]

@wolverine6511 Yeah, I definatley hear the Fate influence.

[TheGuiPB]

I found this band when i read a interview of amorphis LOL

I was curious about the artwork(was this album cover)and now...this band is so good!Im speecheless of how good this band is!Sorry for any bad english

[UnFathaMabLe]

Smoke a bowl and light your candles, Ghost is playing and Satan is watching .

[Balardamnation]

Folks..Don´t get too serious. This is The shit. LOL! Just enjoy vibes & music.

[iam4g10]

o right. Ghost is the ultimate band name... u people make me sick. where did you find this band from?

[1969horsecore1]

maybe the lead singer should go through puberty before he starts singing in a metal band

[TheHarvil]

@1969horsecore1 fuck you he's an awesome singer, probably better than you asshole

[iam4g10]

did i really have to log in to say something about this? god damn. I almost bought this album. wtf y would i buy this shit? i play this shit? bull shit. king diamond clone is right, megadeth rip off is true. wtf. This needs to get burned in a witch-hunt n fall into ashes beneath my feet and my band mates as dead castle begins to rise. DEAD CASTLE down for life. FUCK THIS GAY COPYRIGHT panic at the disco.

be on the lookout for DEAD CASTLE . steal our name & get cut throat knucca

[Given2theRising]

@iam4g10 O, your one of those people? the ones who think they're hot shit because they claim the only metal they listen to is "old school metal." almost any modern metal band is ten times more exciting then megadeth aka dave mustaine talking and playing guitar.

[varghatesyou]

@Given2theRising why dont you go listen to Megadeth's new christian music,while dave begs his washed up Metallica buddies to take him on tour with washed up Slayer

[SDMFAnthony01]

@varghatesyou washed up Slayer??? i don't think so, bro...and Megadeth has seen the error of their ways...check out their new shit...it harkens back. peace.

[varghatesyou]

@SDMFAnthony01 yeah outside of mainstream metal in America and Europe,Slayer and Megadeth are a joke,they are the equal to modern day Sepultura,just nobody has the balls in the music media to say it. Slayer has not done anything good since Reign and Mustaine has done nothing since he "found" Jesus(probably in a syringe full of heroine or on Lars' dick).The so called big 4 in the 80's maybe

[varghatesyou]

@SDMFAnthony01 and not a bro,im a chick

[SDMFAnthony01]

@varghatesyou whhhoooooow....excuse me, you're a woman..big fucking deal...who gives a flying fuck what you, or anyone in fucking europe thinks anyway...this is the fucking states!!! and since your head and your ass is stuck in 1986, i am sorry for you..i remember being that closed minded about metal in 1987 too...WHEN I WAS 18!!!! just too bad you're missing out on a lot of good shit that's going on around you as it's happening...

[varghatesyou]

@SDMFAnthony01 Im not stuck in the 80's,i was simply saying that Megadeth and Metallica and Slayer and Anthrax may have been the "big four" but in the 80;s not now.And i am 18 lol

[jaredqwerty]

@varghatesyou they are still considered the big four.

[jaredqwerty]

@varghatesyou i think it's hilarious when 18 year olds believe they know everything about metal.

[varghatesyou]

@jaredqwerty Might be 18 but know enough to know Metallica was good until Cliff Burton died.Slayer is boring to me,when it comes to thrash i prefer bands not named slayer,like Morbid Saint(even though they only did one album)"the big four" is a purely american thing from what i've seen.And seeing as how i have only been in the US for 3yrs i dont know America that well obviously.

[fatmarcinlondon]

@varghatesyou check out german thrash(sodom,kreator etc) it rocks. can't agree with you about slayer tho

[richvictor123]

@varghatesyou Slayer is boring? Leave the states, you little turd.

[varghatesyou]

@richvictor123 I said Slayer is boring to ME

[Mikeraske]

@varghatesyou Morbid Saint released more then 1 album.

[SDMFAnthony01]

@varghatesyou they will ALWAYS be the ''Big Four''' brother...no other band/bands will ever change that...they were the ones the changed the game as far as metal was concerned at the start of the 80's and through out til about 1991...after ''the black album'' came out from Metallica, Nirvana came along and fucked metal up for awhile save Soundgarden and Alice in Chains...just like no one can change the fact that Sabbath, Zeppelin, and Deep Purple started metal in the late 60's. know what i mean.

[franconbean]

@SDMFAnthony01 Nirvana are Metal? What?

[SDMFAnthony01]

Respond to this video... slayer still slays...musica was not their best, but everything after that has been good. i do agree about megadeth and sepultura,, EXCEPT these latest offerings...bands fuck up and make mistakes, just like humans, but we shouldn't crucify them for it...fans speak and most bands listen..obviously you are no idiot, or i wouldn't have bothered...many people slam metallica these days, but when they go see them play creeping death live, and they shit their pants.....

[SDMFAnthony01]

Respond to this video... then they realize. whoa!! now i remember why these guys have kicked the shit out of everybody for 30 fucking years!!!!! p.s. i wish more women were as opinionated and knowledgeable as you when it comes to metal. sorry bout any insults...just a very passionate old motherfucker (42) who still loves metal as much as i did when i was a kid. peace, and above everything else; METAL!!!! - Anthony

[alphaenemy]

@iam4g10 I just stole your band name. Then I broke up the band because the name sucked.

[bassmanjoe]

Great stuff, love the classic sound.

[meccarian]

Our fallen angel vexed

Was banished from the sky

Recite now from the text

Pray for ALL to die

Epic!

[Shadowgraveband]

This is better than Megadeth

[TheZombieXecutioner]

This band is great but might be too pure of a band for a few, not for everyone

[clunette]

The more I listen to this band the more I like them.

[thejman36]

You can hardly call this metal. What is all the fuss about?

[KingOfParrots]

@thejman36 Yeah, sounds more like dubstep or something to me. Metal, wtf

[johnhassink]

Wow, everybody;s losing their panties over a King Diamond clone?

[FloridianAsshole22]

i just randomly found this band on youtube through other bands. sooooo thankful.

[aneverlastingbreath]

Evil sweet evil

[bruceee333]

Who ever thought the lyric "smells of dead human sacrifice" would sound so damn catchy!

[Demonbane41276]

kinda got a mercyful fate feel to em....culty and kick ass !m! 

[Wannafok]

What song does the beginning guiar remind me of? QUICK, I NEED HELP. IT'S GOING TO BOTHER ME FOR LIFE.

[Grimeyhoob]

the guitar solo at the end is epic. you dont hear solos of such quality anymore, no frills, just very good melodic sense and totally singable.

[swinya]

a great and evil sound for the great one ;)

[metroidblaster127]

Symphony of Destruction?

[csPJLadd]

@metroidblaster127 hahaha, dude! i must say... megadeth is my favorite band of all time but iwe freaking never heard the guitar sounding like that in this song b4 u sed it! xD

[csPJLadd]

@metroidblaster127 hahaha, dude! i must say... megadeth is my favorite band of all time but iwe freaking never heard the guitar sounding like that in this song b4 u sed it! xD

[NeonKnight33]

@metroidblaster127 so true...but still is pretty dope...

[Grimeyhoob]

@metroidblaster127 Dont call it a copy of megadeth, just because of that riff, the rest of the song is entirely different.

[metroidblaster127]

@Grimeyhoob I never did. I wrote the title of a song with a question mark after it. What I meant is that that one riff sounds similar to the one in Symphony of Destruction. I agree that the two songs are very different.

[DeathMetalMorty]

@Grimeyhoob no one is calling it a copy of megadeth's symphony of destruction. the song genesis has parts that sound exactly like a solo from the black dahlia murder's ''to a breathless oblivion'', doesn't mean they copied it. and even of they did its cool because its all metal.

[Treeofwoe13]

@Grimeyhoob Agreed! It's more creepy and Merciful Fate sounding. Mustaine and co. were certainly not the first metal band to play those 3 notes in that progression, nor will Ghost be the last. This is some fantastic work and a pleasure to the ears!
