I agree 💯

I just wanna say this song kicks ass live. The current lineup of the band is suchhh a well oiled machine. I saw them twice in LA earlier this month and both nights this song was one of the ones that impressed me the most.🤘🏼

Saw them a year ago, but they didnt play this, made me soo sad

Smokey nailed it; what the song is about. There's a danger in the strides we're making as an evolving and advancing civilization. The theme of this album- 'Impera' -is about the rise and fall of empires. I mean, obviously, right? Anyhoo, this track comes during the point of the story that Impera is telling where the people are distracted looking for a savior to come down from above, disregarding the threat of the human tyrant coming into power behind them. It's why the songs ends with a fade out: We're still looking for that savior, but our faith in finding him is gradually eroding and fading over the long march of time.

@@gabrial_109 Tobias confessed Russia was the basis for his present day "evil empire" he had in mind when writing Impera. Go figure- a Swede who despises their historical enemy, Russia?! Who'd a thunk it? 😉😁 But there's definitely an occult element to consider or else he wouldn't have chosen the infamous Aleister Crowley pose for Papa Emeritus to be holding on the cover

From The Pinnacle To The Pit next for Ghost. For me it's their heaviest song!

You can hear that he. Is not playback live because of the mask. He gets super nasal on stage. But it sounds awesome! Really great live show, perfect sound.

Make ghost a weekly thing

About a thousand years ago dark age of around 2010 or so I befriended Tobias Forge when he was on Myspace calling himself a nameless ghoul and basically handling all the promotion for the earliest incarnation of ghosts. They had as yet to come to the United States to perform. But it was in the works and they were going to come to San Francisco for their first series of shows. But unfortunately something happened I may have to cancel them. The very interesting thing to me and the reason I bring this up just because when it was clear that the shows are not going to happen, the first thing the band and I assume Tobias himself have come up with an alternative that would involve like a pre-recorded show or something that could be shown or streamed in the clubs in place of them cuz he was very disappointed that they were going to be it will play but he also wanted to deliver something to make it up to people. To this day the band and Tobias are all about inherent power of video and they're still using it very effectively although with much bigger budgets. But those ideas for video where the band almost before the band itself I think if any of the conversation about promotion that I had with conveyor or any indication.

This whole album is awesome. Super deep 80s vibes throughout.

Ghost sound even better live!!!

Just watch them live here in Chile. It was awesome! Second best live performance for me after Rammstein

Love the ghost videos one of my favorite bands

I only discovered Ghost a few days ago perusing your playlists. This is my 3rd video/song. My favorite so far. I love it 😏😃 🤘❤️‍🔥🤘 Great reaction guys👍 Dimash has perfect pitch. He sounds the same Live, in Studio, and in a stairwell. Another one is Lara Fabian who sound perfect with no music or auto-tune as well. 🥰🥰Hugs from a Canadian Dimash fan🇨🇦

You won't regret it. Not really a bad song in Ghost's very, very varied catalogue.

Ghost absolution, is it really good? Heavy riffs bad ass Melody awesome lyrics all the around a kickass song.

There are plenty of videos of them live out there. They almost sound better in person. It's genuinely impressive!

First time I heard Watcher In The Sky I was like ok it's cool but never really listened to it. Saw them play it live, and it was absolutely amazing. One of the best songs of the night

Seen em live 2 days ago & holy shit they are great live

Ghost may use to auto-tune in studio, not sure, but I've seen them live twice, and you can look at dozens of live performances of them - they are an extremely tight band that has amazing vocals. They have a large band 7-8 Ghouls to support Papa, including two female Goulettes to help with the vocal harmonies. Tobias is old-school, he expects his band to do it real.

@@Onyxthefembecause they’re part of a long lasting trend that European bands follow started by Abba. Just putting out catchy beats and lyrics that don’t mean anything because they know Americans will eat it and they’ll go mainstream in the USA where the big money is. Ghost tries a little too hard with all the demonic crap and makeup and clothes they wear. They’re not about that life. Maneskin is another example of one of these bands.

"Depth in Satan's Eyes" does nothing for me though it fits the album's flow, and two of their covers bring nothing new but were done well (It's a Sin and Missionary Man). ...And that's as close to disliking anything from them I get.

Heard this live when i saw them in august. Was absolutely fucking amazing live.

I catch Hell from a lot of other metalheads because I like Ghost . And I don't give a f*ck ! They put out some great stuff . I like what I like . That whole "gatekeeper" mentality is getting old .

It's what is killing the genre. It's so sad they don't see that. It drives me absolutely crazy when they try to besmirch bands by saying they "sold out." Have they had their heads buried in the sand for the last 30 years?! Rock/metal hasn't had a legit, mainstream breakout album that held the Billboard #1 spot for more than one week since Nirvana's 'Nevermind' in 1991. That was the last time- 32 years ago! Rock and metal lost it's mainstream popularity when the fun and sex was removed from it during the Grunge movement. If you go back and look at the biggest bands from the 1960s-80s- Led Zeppelin, AC/DC, Guns N Roses, etc. -their songs were mostly about fun and sex. Rock and metal surrendered fun and sex to pop and hip hop, and it just so happens that about that same time, pop and hip hop replaced rock as the #1 musical genre in American pop culture. The gatekeeping purists deserve absolutely zero credence from rock fans because *they're the group most responsible for killing rock n roll!* It was already hard enough for rock and metal bands to breakout because the record labels realized it's safer, cheaper, and more financially rewarding to champion the solo artists (which is what pop and hip hop is) where hired gun producers can whip up a generic background beat on a keyboard faster and cheaper than the time it takes for a group of 4 or 5 musicians to create- and then mutually agree on whether or not they even like it -as well as not being acts who come to a grinding halt the moment one band member leaves or the 4 or 5 guys can no longer get along. I mean, rock and metal already has the deck stacked against it to start with based on the cheaper overhead costs and higher probability for profit in pop and hip hop in the labels' eyes, and now we have all these toxic gatekeepers giving the competition even more ammunition to shoot us with! The rock & metal purists have killed the greatest American musical genre of all time by now.

You guys need to listen to "Bite of Passage/Respite On the Spitalfields" from this album next.

there's no auto tune live. He sounds amazing live!

i like ghost when they come out with some hard riffs and short solo but good it's fun I'm jamming into for real.

Best track of an awesome album in my opinion. I love the guitars and the subtle change in key towards the end. Special band 💪

Nice reaction dudes.. And this track live is fantastic🇸🇪

Morning guys! Ohhhh i liked this one! That was awesome! Kool song kool album cover. 🤓

Ice Nine Kills - Farewell II Flesh

You guys need to see ghost live! There amazing ❤

Love your Ghost reactions! I've got some more swedish artists that I recommend you listen to: The Hives - Their new singel Countdown to Shutdown (official video) is a blast. The Knife - Heartbeats or Fever Ray - If I Had A Heart, both with Karin Dreijer with a voice like no one else. Anna von Hausswolff - The Mysterious Vanishing of Electra, fantastic, powerful voice.

Sicksense- Feed Them To The Wolves, please and thank you

I highly recommend y'all listen to 'Zenith' now if you haven't already! A totally different vibe but equally beautiful

That picture is a take-off of the famous picture of Alister Crowley. Tobias and Ghost doesn't use auto tune....it sounds the same live. Watch live videos...Mary on a Cross live in Tampa....it sounds the same...better...Tobias doesnt phone it in. He doesn't believe it. He wants you to get your money's worth. Just find "Live" videos. I saw them in Chicago in August.

Great reaction guys!! Go Chop house!!

great song

I'm not usually a fan of fadeout endings, but it works for this song's theme - continuing to look for that Watcher in the Sky.

I agreeguys with all u said about futuristic stuff! Just stop is right!!....

Wow that was badass ✌️

PLEASE DO: PHANTOM OF THE OPERA or RESPITE ON THE SPITEFIELDS

hollywood undead chaos

all along the watchtower ..

Auto tuned vox are different then over layered vox . If you can sing at all and you sing it four times over top of each other it can give that sound . But I'm sure yawl know what I mean .

Check out "Spit it out by Slipknot"

I wonder if you were thinking of the movie Fire in the Sky

Do Respite on the Spitalfields, an all time great Ghost track

Iced Earth -The Coming Curse is a song you should react to . Their are two versions one with the original singer Barlow and the other with Ripper Owens . I prefer the Ripper version but I love both .

Ghost Never use autotune like most Metal bands.That's always the point!It sounds like before autotune.Tobias Hates it.

This.

the reason for CERN is to better understand how physics actually works, especially the physics of the early universe, and is the only known way to make particles and elements that don't naturally occur on earth. CERN is actually not a capitalist project at all, its publicly funded by 23 countries; one of which is the US. the point of AI is computer can do things tens, hundreds, thousands even millions of times faster than any human ever could (same with automation).

The earpiece is a monitor. You get really used to adjusting vocals based on hearing yourself. I'm not a great singer sitting around recording demos and ideas, but when I'm onstage I'm a goddess with the voice to match. Anyway, Tobias is really pissy about doing everything live except the songs that use a church choir, and he doesn't pretend to sing when he's not.

This isn't a cover. But it reminds me to tell you that you need to check out "Watcher of the Sky" by Genesis

To be honest, any grown man wearing Nickelodeon themed clothing, should never be taken seriously...regardless of skin color.

Go see Ghost during Ritual. They sound better live....Tobias doesn't phone it in. They sound better than studio. Tobias doesn't lip sync. C'mon.
