Has anyone heard of/what do you think about 'Ghost' band?

[FancyMancy]

An apparently-Satanic band from Sweden, from 2006 to present. I might say anti-christian, and using alleged-Satanism for shock value. The song "Ritual" was chosen by Kerrang! as one of "The 50 Most Evil Songs Ever". Ghost is known for its eccentric on-stage presence. Seven of the group's eight members, known as "Nameless Ghouls", wear virtually identical, face-concealing costumes.

Ghost's Satanic theme has proven problematic for the group, especially in the US. While recording Infestissumam in Nashville, Tennessee, they were unable to find choral singers who would sing their lyrics, forcing them to record the parts in Hollywood. The group was unable to find a record manufacturer in the US to press the album because it featured artwork showing nudity, which resulted in a delay to the album's release. When one interviewer suggested that the band's music had become more "radio-friendly" and that they were being accepted into the US mainstream, a Nameless Ghoul replied that in the US their music was banned from major chain stores, most late-night television shows, and most commercial radio stations. He said, "So, yes, mainstream America is absolutely welcoming us with open legs".

He Is
We're standing here by the abyss
and the world is in flames
Two star-crossed lovers reaching out
to the beast with many names

He is, he's the shining and the light
without whom I cannot see
and he is insurrection, he is spite
He's the force that made me be
He is Nostro Dis Pater
Nostr' Alma Mater
He is
...

I say anti-christian with alleged-Satanic use for shock value because of course it would not be "allowed" if it was actually pro-Satanic. I am going through this playlist, and in one of these songs (so far), there seems to be technical mistakes, but which the uninitiated would not know or realise; therefore, accept as Satanic.

It seems the non-English European countries enjoy a lot of non-jesus music and culture. Sweden is Norse, of course.

On the one hand writing about a band on here may give them some recognition, but on the other hand, if you would find a song which clearly is is exposing the jews subliminal and expose this here, this might make the live for the band more hard. So I am unsure what is the right thing to do in a case like this.

In my opinion the band is overal fine.

Beware of metal bands that at first glance seem Satanist and in reality are deeply immersed in Jewish Kabbalah, a couple of examples are Behemoth and Therion.

I prefer pagan metal bands like Tyr, Heidevolk, Amon Amart, Enslaved or Enfiserum a thousand times over.

Ghost is pretty legit though as far as i have seen. They have several songs that blatantly praise Satan. "Call me little sunshine" is a favorite.

The recently released a cover of a song that mercilessly mocks the hypocrisy of xtians. The other bands you mentioned are the shit and definitely on my own list.

Completely correct Behemoth is a poser band especially for being a Black Metal band. In fact my friend whose been listening to black metal since 2005 on the Kazaa pre-Youtube days. He states they are a troll band for example they embody an NPCness to Black Metal. Black Metal's origins start with the NPCing of Death Metal and Doom Metal and also the NPCing of certain other music and selling out. Not that Black Metal artists are against making money but as my friend said many black metal bands especially older ones of the 80s-90s and early 00s would state, I'd rather play to 10-15 fans rather than a few hundred posers who don't embody the spirit of black metal.

My friend mentioned that Behemoth in many cases made their name out of theatrics and abandoning Black Metal's simplicity just the make up and wardrobe and play. Even Heilung and a few other bands out there that dress up do it in a very natural spirit to black metal.

My friend in particular rags on Behemoth he states some of the songs are okayish not great. But when you explore them they tend to embody the NPC spirit.

In fact my friend goes I've listened to so much Black Metal and love the genre that the stain of NPCism has affected it worse when black metal dives into naturesque concepts. I'm not the biggest nature person I'm more of a technocrat but I can peruse nature and find it adaptable to technology. But he, my friend, is very nature based and a number of poser black metal bands have kinda hit that facet of BM.

In fact it gets worse the NS, NSBM; gets assaulted. Just in 2019 a few months before Coof. Advent Sorrow sacked it's lead singer cause of National Socialist view.

NS whether the band plays NS or isn't into NS but respects it is like 50% Black Metal.

Black Metal = National Socialism 50% and then the other 50% is nature, warfare, etc.etc. in other words pretty much NS is the biggest topic whether it's direct NS or indirect NS.

On top of that many poser bands don't embody the development of Black Metal. And go against it's concept like the NS above or aren't into certain ones for controversy.

Unfortunately Death Metal which is a genre my friend likes and listen to there's A LOT of NPCness in it. So you kinda have to thread lightly.

Sheer fact is Black Metal isn't away from the stain of NPCism. More people need to adopt the black metal slogan of, "If you like Black Metal; Welcome, enjoy the ride, stay around and relish in it. But if you don't like it: FUCK OFF!"

If you want although it's gonna be a bit of time as my friend doesn't reply to emails every day. I can ask him to type out why Behemoth is a bad band and anti-Black Metal. I can post what he typed on the email.

If you study Black Metal there is anti-Black Metal and counter-Black metal bands. Some of these bands and people have had death threats sent to them for choosing to oppose BM.

Sheer fact is like Gottfried Feder and Otto Rahn stated. As Rahn states, "There are those that fly the flag of christ and there are those that fly the flag of Lucifer". And as Feder goes taking an economic technology into psychological spiritual profile, People are so mammonistically poisoned and acting like spiritual jews.

Spiritual jews, spiritual mammonist hence NPCs.

I love Black Metal but I can see why the genre would incite foolish people to attack it. Hence why it is stained by NPCs.

It's pretty much the same Catholic assault. All music = bad and debil 'n' shit 'n' sheit unless it's christy and praises god.

What a sad little World for xtians the only reason they exist is to be a slave of christ.

No freedom no life, liberty, and pursuit of happiness.

And then some people go "This is why we can't have nice things".

I respect and embody the spirit of black metal. Even though only as of recently I've listened to black metal in comparison to my friend's nearly 20 year ride in 2025 soon enough.

There are other bands I like but I can see why he enjoys BM. As he stated the music gravitates to him and the normalization of using the black keys in a piano i.e. minor chords in a surprising way. In fact when he played guitar he invented his own black metal slides and tones even though he wasn't actively aware. Unfortunately about a year before his time of study and physically exercising he dropped the guitar. Which he deeply regrets.

Anyways your good Wotanwarrior you know your stuff. By any chance do you study the Metal Archives website to understand the music better?

My only negative of Black Metal is it requires good audio equipment Hi-Fi to listen to as it requires a good ear to listen. Many bands are kinda like background music. It's kinda like elevator music but some bands you want to pay attention to their wordings and various stomach screams.

It's not all that different from non-black metal band and other rock and metal bands whereby you want Hi-Fi audio to really enjoy.

In other words you gotta do some research on audiophile equipment to really relish Black Metal. Especially the background noises and sounds and synths many do. In fact many Black Metal songs can be adopted to video games as many use dungeon music synth and other tones that make it seem like your crawling through a map of a game like a castlevania game or a dungeon. In fact I notice many black metal bands are gentlemen there's barely any use of curse words or anything. In fact the first time I heard someone use a curse word in black metal is Mavorim's Waffentrager of their SLIA album.

The sheer fact is unless your open-minded and into NS and other things based on freedom and anti-xtianity. Black Metal will just attract NPCs who bring down the music to conform to garbage mentality. Oy vey NSBM is bad 'n' shit 'n' sheit it's ebil, debil Hitler Nazim shit.

And it's like motherfucker Black Metal IS NS for the most part even it's origins deal with NS.

Black metal = people sick and tired of NPCs ruining everything to conform to societal nicities often expounded by xtianity.

I do get bothered by some of the negativity and some of the topics on Satanism i.e. stereotypical stuff. But I'm like, Hey at least they are singing about something different. And like the Nietzsche article, "Anti-Nihilist Nihilism".

One some level Black Metal is the Nigrido stage of spirituality for music. There's chaos and a darkening of the person. But in time it IS exactly what the person needs. The removal of lies and useless, old, and doom bringing dragging down the person.

IF anything black metal deals with something based on Evolution and Nature i.e. our dark side and why it matters to understand.

I've never stopped to listen to them carefully, I'm going to listen to some of their albums and see how they do.

Although it's out of topic the new Metallica album has disappointed me a lot, they lost the thrash sound that characterized their first albums a long time ago.
