ghost - satan prayer

[psyclops9]

that image of the ghost with hands overstretching the cathedral reminds me of an image used on Stephen King's "'Salem's Lot" novel (and movie from the 70s).

[OctoberStorm15]

a song you'd hear in fuckin scooby doo?

[kevinspratacus]

Mercyful Fate are shit. This guys are amazing though.

[Tettuli]

to be honest i don't really get, why so many ppl say that this sounds like mercyful fate...i mean, yes, little bit, but it's still pretty far away from MF, just my opinion....

[RyanO563]

They are opening for opeth

[trevtrickster]

graspop metal meeting - walks into the tent- " whos next ? " some band that dress up " - watchs the whole set and is blown away at how amazing the are live !!!

[carolinerenee661]

Such awesome guitar and vocals! Love this band. Whoever they are opening up for, I get the feeling it won't take long for those bands to be opening up for them.

[TheDGrimz]

Never even heard of this band before but this song kicks ass tho!!! \m/

[wallofchaos]

Stop while your so far behind is not even funny.

[MaxReinsch]

The Devil has all the good tunes.

[GiacomoPoggiRimini]

Beautiful!

[DeathsObituary]

Hail Satan! This is good true metal like Death's Obituary, Candlemass, and Mercyful Fate.

[haszpla]

Too light for metal.

[ddjdjudhdhsh]

Ghost sucks god rules!

[SocialAnthrax]

@ddjdjudhdhsh god sucks

[ainsofar]

it's not that good. At least for me.

[benrahy]

You cant do better :p ^^

[umulamahri]

I'll put down money that michael Akerfeldt has something to do with this band

[tbtron5000]

Sounds like a metal BOC to me.

[Zeybrin]

If you play this song backwards it talks about SATAN!... Oh Wait... xD

[goodnamepending]

@Zeybrin If you play this song backwards it talks about GOD, omfg!

[Zeybrin]

@goodnamepending D: THAT'S EVEN WORSE!  lmao

[Lunarwill]

@Zeybrin If you play it sideways, it talks about Santa.

[Kingddd333]

I wouldnt say Mercyful Fate fans would like them, but rather blue öyster cult.

[tokyogoreful]

@Kingddd333 or candlemass fans as well.

[hj7397]

I love that the lyrics to this song are basically a satanic version of the Nicene Creed. It's obvious at the "Anti-Nicene Creed" line, but I just thought that it was interesting that they made that parallel with their lyrics. Neat, eh?

[Inna64]

AMAZING!!!!!!

[consummateify]

Wow this is so cool.I need some mellow music that doesn't suck in my playlist.

[santanaincubus]

The vocals sounds Psychedlic from the 60s. Psychedelic Doom!

[THEMAN62084]

this shit is good, love the singer!

[Metalwilly1]

the leadsinger sucks cock but the rest of the band is good!

[Kingddd333]

@Metalwilly1 A thumbs down from me.

[Hithkano]

Catchy as hell, great voice, so smooth... Ido gen an asterix vibe from the chorus, from the credits of one of the old animated movies any one else?

[SamFisher338]

@Hithkano Yeah, the melody is almost the same. The song is called 'The Look Out is Out' by Cook da Books.

[randyrhoads031]

Hail Satan!



[troykivey]

Does anyone get a Castelvania vibe from this?

[troykivey]

@troykivey apparently I'm dyslexic.

[ElementOfficialTV]

@troykivey holy shit yes so true dude

[DemonTuna]

Mixing satan with late 60's music? Don't know any Mercyful Fate fan that would listen to this. Obviously there's people behind them, but they're no Gwar, and face it, they will never be as big... and you can't say they sound like Mercyful Fate until they turn the guitars up. Wow.

[HaloHaxdotcom]

@DemonTuna incoherent rambling

[tua25544]

If i ever were to OD on opiates, id want these guys playing really loud in the next room

[SuperSargatanas]

This is what Mercyful Fate would have sounded like without The King singing if they had come out in the ' 70's.

[metallicmaggot25]

wanna know something ironic? theyre satanists but he has the voice of an angel <3

[StoneTitan]

It's pretty good, but somehow the melody reminds me of Asterix...

[saigawhite308]

Seriously? This shit sux, why would you intentionally have shitty guitar tone? Sounds like he's playin a fender through a raisin box sized amp. Real gay guys, real gay

[Kryp7K33p3r]

@saigawhite308 you dont listen to much older style underground/black metal do you?

[saigawhite308]

@Kryp7K33p3r no, fuck no, that shit sux more than this shit

[MrSmammered]

@saigawhite308 I agree this is metal for hipsters.

[Braindestructor]

I saw them live, it was awesome

[Laurannah101]

Too jolly for me.

[Blashyrkh22]

I can't believe I've never heard this band until today. So much like Mercyful Fate, and I daresay that these guys are even better.

[PRHILL9696]

@Blashyrkh22 I know right! I agree

[timzers7447]

@Blashyrkh22 How dare you

[faithinsideyou]

@Blashyrkh22 Not better by a long shot. So yeah - you did 'dare' say...butt oh well.

[MercyfulBathoryDeath]

@Blashyrkh22 they are highly influenced by mercyful fate, but i honestly have to say mercyful fate is better in my eyes

[OpethToolMetallica]

@Blashyrkh22

Yeah, except that the guitarists cannot come up with any interesting riff or solo's. The songs are ok to listen to, but to put it bluntly they are a superfluous Mercyful Fate rehash (what's Black Sabbath about them?), basically writing metal songs with a pop mood, and lyrics that could fill love songs about satan.

Add to that an even more emphasis on image than Mercyful Fate had (other than KD the members were pretty normal) as none have even showed themselves without costumes.

[ultraviolence6655321]

Seein' em with Mastodon and Opeth in Pittsburgh!

[nightmareb4cf]

I really like how chill this is. Can't wait to see them with Mastodon.

[checkthemdubs]

Opeth borrowed some imagery from Ghosts album art for the Devil's Orchard video (the giant devil silhouette maliciously hovering over the skyline)

[TheDopespade]

Hail, Satan!

[skolnick420]

Bumped out o didt see them in Salt Lake City. nearst show to me is Las Vegas when they tour with Mastadon...

[checkthemdubs]

This will be the most gorgeous music ever banned from returning to the United States. Glad I'm seeing them with Opeth and Mastodon before the republican candidates fight over how long to banish them.

[becauseican66]

Opeth, Mastodon, Ghost, in Vancouver. Anyone else? :D

[BlackMetalMafia666]

Kinda pissed that the band isn't who they claim to be. Takes away the mystery, but still an amazing band.

[sdicaseysdi]

missing them tonight, but getting my ticket for the show with Mastodon tomorrow morning. gonna be rad!!!

[zacmetalfan]

The singer sounds like Weird Al. Going to see the live with Opeth and Mastodon

[jonahfox]

Got 3rd row tickets for them with Opeth and Mastodon. : )

[blackhoodfalls]

they're touring with opeth and mastodon.... epic...

[GiannisHeavyMetal80s]

446 cool guys 17 christians!

[GiannisHeavyMetal80s]

It's like...OCCULT!

[MissJeanette69]

I'm gonna have to go smoke a bowl to this song

[TheMetalheadgoth]

@MissJeanette69 FUCK YEAH DUDE I'M WITH YA ON THAT SHIT!

[MissJeanette69]

Damn, this reminds me of Black Sabbath. I didn't think awesomeness like this didn't exist anymore

[he11hound420]

so much more heavy live, very intense!

[xxXDamnationXxx]

I guess who disliked this must be a fundamentalist/orthodox christian.

[Nekroczar]

This shit is goofy as fuck.  I like it.

[geneicide]

Holy Shit ! Morrissey sings for Ghost !

[jab12117018902]

@geneicide Killing mE haha!



[GerardGomila]

@geneicide King Diamond meets A.F.I more like

[ArnoldVeeman]

bammm... a new fan... instantly!

[RevanDelta2]

Just saw Ghost tonight in St Paul, they are even more epic live then on CD.

[danielscissorhands]

I am not a troll.... honest... but I cannot see how someone who is not stoned could like this music.

[Benteiron]

@danielscissorhands What is there not to like?

[Tettuli]

@danielscissorhands how you couldn't like this?

[finaltokko]

must.....hail....ghost.....i mean satan.....

[PRHILL9696]

Already one of the greatest bands in metal history, Hail Ghost!

[MrSmammered]

@PRHILL9696 You must like garbage I guess?

[PRHILL9696]

@MrSmammered No if I liked garbage then I would like you, but I do not since you are obviously a loser as well as garbage.

[MrSmammered]

@PRHILL9696 Awwww I am sorry I don't like your faggy overrated band. Blue Oyster Cult called they told this band to go fuck themselves.

[PRHILL9696]

@MrSmammered I am sorry you are a faggot who hates himself.  I am sorry you cannot handle real metal. Go suck the cock of christ you hateful pussy and leave Metal to those who love it and are strong enough to enjoy it, you poor little pussy

[MrSmammered]

@PRHILL9696 Real metal? Ghost? Get your ears clean this is nothing more than metal for hipsters who hate metal.

[PRHILL9696]

@MrSmammered just because you are too weak to listen to Metal music does not mean you should bash it. Go listen to your justin beiber and leave metal to people who can handle it you wimp.

[MrSmammered]

@PRHILL9696 Yea moron that why majority of my favorite vidoes are metal videos. Not all metalheads like Ghost only posers like you.

[MrSmammered]

@PRHILL9696 How typical is it to go with the justin bieber insult? Shows how fucking dumb you are cause you don't know there more bands out there than this gay ass band. Anyone who likes this band should get maced, luckily that happened at MDF after their shit performance.

[PRHILL9696]

@MrSmammered I see now you are jealous because Ghost has become one of the most famous metal bands ever and so quickly and are embraced by many Metal legends. too bad, it is not their problem that you are a loser.

[MrSmammered]

@PRHILL9696 Wow keep fooling yourself how great they are. I don't care who likes them. I don't base my opinion on what "Metal Legends" have to say you sheep.

[PRHILL9696]

@MrSmammered why are you so obsessed with me? Every five minutes I see some retarded comment from you. Get over me already you are freaking me out you weirdo!

[MrSmammered]

@PRHILL9696 Pot calling the kettle black here. I am sure you won't get the saying cause you seem pretty stupid.

[PRHILL9696]

@MrSmammered see here you are again! you cannot get enough of me! It is not going to happen! leave me alone. dude I am not a fag like you so stop being obsessed with me

[PooCut]

@PRHILL9696 this is not metal.

[MrSmammered]

@PooCut He just mad that he is an idiot.

[geneicide]

So King Diamonds' gay younger brothers' been hanging out with The Sword's less talented younger brothers huh?

[jab12117018902]

@geneicide Too funny Gene! See you at MUGGS...

[Belsebuub]

@geneicide

Priceless :D

[skjalddis]

Asterix! 

[psylencakholera]

@skjalddis Hahahaha cannot unhear :D

[unknown29066]

hail satan



[brnleague99]

Ghost is like someone took Mercyful Fate and Blue Oyster Cult and put them in a blender.

[3baxcb]

@brnleague99 A blender with a pentagram on it...while starring at the movie poster for Salem's Lot.

[HunterJiron]

@brnleague99 Don't forget the Beach Boys influence on Elizabeth. Haha Ghost is amazing. I found them one day a while back and about a month later i saw so many famous musicians like Dani Filth and Jus Oborn wearing their shrts... Been trying to find the video that Jus has it on again but I cant remember what one it is.

[fsciutto]

@HunterJiron and Duran Duran!!! hahaha

[blindelfstudio]

@brnleague99 Stumbled upon Ghost randomly, based on that comment I must hear the fuck out of this.

[bassmanjoe]

@brnleague99 Sounds more Mercyful Fate than BOC, nobody sounds like BOC in my opinion. They were one of the most original bands ever. Just my opinion.

[76EJG]

@brnleague99 I assume you are talking about some sort of a sound blender, not an actual blender. If you were to place those bands in an actual blender, the blender would have to be enormous and in the end you'd have a chunky, bloody meatshake full of bone fragments, fecal matter and a cowbell or two. That is nothing like Ghost. Mmmmm, meatshake.

[albarrette]

a bit too slow

[ViolenciaVioleta]

EH AGUANTE SATAN LOCO!!!!!!!!!!!

[TheDSi666]

I do worship Satan

[pitofsnakes204]

this band is way to good.

[PRHILL9696]

Great band, real Metal is finally back!

[syntaxerror2341]

WHAT IS THIS MADNESS

[spartank17]

3:29!!! OMFG!!! a love this part!! this band is fucking GREAT!!!!

[ErikratKhandnalie]

I like the music but oh gods the lyrics are horrid. It hurts my grammar

[yinjara]

Anyone else think the intro sounds similiar to reining blood by slayer?

[reallg]

Hey hey we're the Monkeys

People say we monkey around

We're hanging out with satan

6 feet underground!

GLOOM

[victorio1905]

for all dutch people

SINTERKLAAS

[Cristos3000]

Stating the bleeding obvious, Satan is an Archangel

[adolfometal2]

this is the first song I hear this 2012!!

[thegdin]

Great music. Unfortunately they will never get really big because of their subject matter. Not that they care, i have no clue if they do. Just saying.

[TheTurtleVillage]

@thegdin Mercyful Fate. Nuff' said.

[spartank17]

My favorite song of this band!! :D

[rhymenocologist]

I can't figure out why I like this band so much. nothing about the way they sound should be appealing to me, but I cant stop listening to this album. Maybe they really are powered by Satan

[HaloHaxdotcom]

kind of a doom metal feel too

[AlternativeTaco]

satanism or not this is fucking awesome

[rickhorror]

haha the cover reminds me of scooby doo =D i see what these guys are doing but they are far from KING DIAMOND =D

[PRHILL9696]

@rickhorror what does King Diamond have to do with anything? These guys are fresh and new, King has not put out anything in years

[rickhorror]

@PRHILL9696 new maybe... not fresh.. sounds kinda stale. boring and falls short of greatness, good idea though... for example Sleep not necessarily new but FRESH indeed with the talent to pull it off ... these guys need someone to show them how to hit the high notes instead of slaughtering them , king diamond doesnt have to release another song ever again and he still schools these newborns! dont deny the king!

[PRHILL9696]

@rickhorror everyone has their own opinion, but I have to disagree with you on this one.

[unholybunnyman]

blue oyster cult meets mercyful fate... this shit can only be liked

[et1900k]

The band that will save the tradition of the "Shock Rock"

(sorry my english is not perfect)

[murcia1975]

Better than the best !!!

[Khyrid]

WHat is this? 50's death metal?

[Troggyhordesman]

@Khyrid Metal didn't exist in the 50's, this is prog rock. You really should've gone to class, kiddo.

[Khyrid]

@Troggyhordesman I know, I was just being silly. 

[eibon81]

franconbean; Same here!

[barat999]

They're not heavy unexpectedly, but so what?! They are great!!!...which is what matters!

[niallist]

I can't decide what to think of them. They sound like a combination of Sleep and The Shins to me. Which doesn't make any sense.

[AbyssLordsUK]

i saw ghost live and i was amazed they're just so different its awesome and i like this kind of metal

[deegarmi]

i use to think these guys where soo evil until i saw them live and the singer said "underneath all these robes we are wearing nothing!" yeahh then that feeling goes sorta away.... :P but still there fucking epic either way XD \m/

[femoman]

The look says Black Metal, but the sound says Prog Rock...Pretty cool stuff, to be honest. I'll keep an eye out for them.

[pacoboggin]

look up black widow, this stuff is like a more tonally distorted version of that

[DonVittoMontana]

I discover this band in Phill Anselmos T-shirt on Swu 2011.

[Frozenfiremage]

By satans hand we trust Ghost !

[KillingKeymo]

I wrote this song for Satan

[SuperCostel96]

ahahahha grandee

[franconbean]

Just got back from Defenders of the Faith at Brixton. Of all the supporting acts, i probably enjoyed these guys most.

[azgrind]

Not normally into this type of music but this band is pretty bad ass. Just wish they were playing Phoenix on their tour.

[TheKalZul]

They were mint last night in Manchester!

[XxxShinigamixx]

two words for the band ghost: Fucking Boss!

[DenisFreeman2]

im wearing their tshirt right now, as im listening to them ;) 

[metalmonkey666]

Do we know who these guys are yet?

[PRHILL9696]

@metalmonkey666 no we do not, many people keep throwing out idea's but they cannot all be right of course and none of them have been proven anyway. They are just opinions

[fatmarcinlondon]

@metalmonkey666 i have a list of 6 names from a bell boy in a swedish hotel in which they stayed at. 2 of the names are portragese(techs). i checked them out and it seems legit but who knows?Papa Emeritus is now comon knowledge because of swedish copyright laws. so some people know i guess.

[druidmacarthur]

Check it out. Anyone can say what they want. these motherfuckers are carrying the Blue Oyster Cult Torch straight to HEL. Form your opinion around that. I have heard mush worse music and much Better. Much harder. Much Softer. Much Faster. Much Slower. Opinions are like so many things and most often they don't mean shit!!!

[ale000death]

HAAHHA @il nome del tuo account

[m4ssee]

One of my favorite guitar solos of all-time. :3
