Me personally, I don't think the song is about literal rats. It's more of a theme: Rats had spread the Black Plague, and did so rather quickly. "rats" in this sense could refer to anything that spreads like wildfire - ideas, hatred and so on. It seems more like an "open to interpretation by the listener" sort of song. You have the basic shell - you just need to fill it.

The "band" is just Tobias Forge from Sweden, and the rest of them were just hired actors/musicians to perform and some did play and record his material. In their history only 2 other prior members ever wrote songs with him, the rest he is credited with, as far as I can tell... Recently he fired all or most of them and hired all new and they sued him, and lost! This band you see here is not the one that did meliora, Which Cirice was from, Not sure even IF those guys are in this new version with his new character "Cardinal Copia" ...."Papa Emeritus IV" was the last front man/ character and that was Tobias also! He changed just about everything. They are NOT Satanists! He was specifically asked in an interview if he was and his answer was "Do we believe in a hoofed horned being under the ground?" sort of thing, and they said NO, that was ridiculous, but he also believed religion is ridiculous too. As do I but that's just my own experience with it. They put on these masks and costumes and are an ACT.. a "Theatrical band" The music has dark and eerie lyrics but it's all a part of his creation of the name brand as well as the name of the band. It's all Tobias Forge, his ball of wax he is the head honcho... (& he is really a very nice person based on what I have seen and heard) As are the new Ghouls-They love and fiercely protect children, and try to do "good" in the real world, but they play those characters. That's about the sum of it all... I have liked this "band" for a long time, I have some vinyl! & it bothers me that they are mis understood as some evil Satanists that spread harm. He is not that guy. The Ghouls are all very polite and well spoken in interviews which are all over the tube and easy to find. It is interesting to actually hear all of them answer questions and talk to interviewers. Especially kids talking to them-how they treat them! The Ghouls I have heard speaking and Mr. Forge have earned my respect. It is a show-That's all. Just happens to be real good tunes.... :)

Your mom is an adorable, sweet lady, and I'm glad she openly dug the music, even if she differs from the tongue-in-cheek lyrics ideologically.

​@@ravenhopkins347 No branches of satanism believe in a literal satan. What you are referring to is Luciferianism. But true enough some branches of Satanism do use Satan as symbolism for individuality, seeker of knowledge, and some times as a rebel against authority, as he is described in the Bible. I mean if you read the bible, only adjectives suggest that Satan is evil. His actions, however, are never more evil than that of God. Compared to God based on Satan's actions in the bible, one may think him more of a saint in comparison to God. Seeking to free humanity from the shackles of eternal mind-control. And remember, the bible does not say that Satan created Hell, or even that he rules Hell. It was God who created Hell to punish Satan and the sinning humans.

They're not satanic. It's just an act, if you wanna play along. They're basically actors, not Satanists. It's like a theatre play, if you forget that they're just playing a character and pretend that they're Satanists it becomes much more interesting and immersive.

The song does indeed use the plague as a metaphor for religion. Although it does not point to any given religion, the use of a singular 'God' indicates that it is more directed at Christian/Catholic beliefs. Alex is right on his reading, but has highlighted the wrong lyrics (although they do form a greater portrayal of it). Focus more on the opening lyrics: "In times of turmoil, in times like these. Beliefs contagious, spreading disease. This wretched mischief is now coursing through your souls. Never to let go, never to let go. The Rats." Directly referring to religion as a plague that poisons minds, perpetuated and spread by 'Rats', i.e. missionaries, priests or people who seek to convert others to their religion. Further exasperated by civil unrest, making it easier for a given religion to spread through a nation... Like a plague through a impoverished town.

But even with everything I still like the band and the masks are awesome. I’m actually going to be seeing them live this September on Friday the 13th From what I‘ve seen, the song is about the plague but the religious references are about the mentality at the time: preachers saying the church would save them (the disease spread faster in confined spaces) and that the plague was a punishment from God for everyone’s sinning ways

Jason Richardson: Hos Down. It's instrumental and will blow your mind! I recommend the Meinl cymbals video. It's live in studio

Lol this would be myself and my mother😂thanks for doing this so I don’t have to😂

Dude your Mom was moving her head at the last chorus. That was totally cool. I saw Ghost in Clearwater FL last Nov for my 1st time. I saw 3 generations of families there all wearing Ghost T-Shirts. That should tell you a lot about their popularity.

You have to understand that Ghost is a kind of “parody satanic” band, most of the members are atheist or non-religuous

I have not been listening to Ghost super recently. I almost forgot how good they really are. Almost. Glad you brought them back up on my radar. I love their music, and love the lyrics, but really, just everything about them is cool. I like that they choose to hide their identities with the masks and the make-up. The cool thing about the masks, I've noticed, at least for me? I don't focus on the various band members as much and just really enjoy their music. And Alex? I kinda disagree with you just a little on one point: I've heard a few of Ghost's songs, including "Cirice," and I thought "Rats" was pretty darn catchy myself. It's been awhile so, maybe my perspective is slightly out of focus. That's one of those things about Ghost that I find so intriguing: That, musically, a song can be THAT catchy, with rats as the lyric subject matter. It's a somewhat unique juxtaposition, really. You wouldn't think it would be catchy, with that title, and then it is.☺ And their music just gets under your skin, or it does for me, anyway. I'm glad you had the mom unit with you today. She is always interesting to watch.☺

At first I liked the video for the song but then it was because of your mum's reaction and general goodness :D

Guitar in the verses reminds me of Dio! Footloose & Thriller - I agree!! Also - Gene Kelly - Singing in the Rain? Ever see the film (of the book) "Rats"?... Hey Mum WHERE'S STRYPER? Good reaction - both of you!!!!

I dont believe they're satanists, I think they're making fun of the back and forth that christianity has with itself sometimes

Ghost is satire at the core. Sacrilegious satire, but satire nonetheless.

I'm a newly acquired Ghost fan."Rats" is one of my favorite songs. The video is awesome too! Yes this song's interpretation is centered around the plague. Take out the interpretation of the plague for a moment, and put in the Covid19. People are constantly getting sick from the virus, and people are dying from it.

Alex +@ Hey. Your Mom rocks :) Introduction to Ghost is best with "He Is" :D

Get on it, Alex...

React to N.I.B by black sabbath. Its sooo good.

The appeal of ghost is that the music is excellent for the uninitiated, and if you dive deeper it is thought provoking. Your mom seems very open minded and can appreciate and interpret the message, which is the kind of people bands like ghost are directing their music towards. It isnt that the members of ghost are promoting satanism (who cares if they are) but they are using the theme to add depth to their music.

Love the discussion, love your mom and love the way you see the things around you. ❤️

HELLYEAH - Hush!! just an awesome band and great message!

He's referencing a LOT of famous dance moves in that video.

Your mom has a solid grounding on good theology. I have a doctorate in divinity and am very conservative in beliefs and am a classical guitarist.

Rogred It is. Christopher Hitchens calls this the “totalitarian” aspect of religions, the idea that one all-seeing and all-knowing entity gets to know your every action and thought - thoughtcrime - as seen in 1984 by George Orwell.

I saw Ghost in Charlotte with my daughter, (I'm a metal head) but she really got me into them. One of the best shows I've ever been to, they're great live..

I admit to NOT liking this band when first hearing them...but weirdly enough a few months would pass by, and they've grown on me! I bet their insane to see in-person. :)

Review the song "Supermassive Black hole" by Muse

GHOST is the easiest and most example of camp i'm aware of 😂

Props to mom for at least being open to watching and listening.

Plz react to Forbidden City by Marty Friedman and Altitudes by Jason Becker

Alex please react to As I Lay Dying's new singles or react to Oceans Ate Alaska. Hansha by them is a great introduction. Been requesting this for months. What else can I do?

My fav part is where he just says Brats and the mom looks at him weirdly lol.

For someone who is into hip hop, you seem to be pretty open to other styles of music like rock and metal. I love your reaction videos. You should check out Sabaton Hell and Back.
