From what I understand there were some Christian radio stations that played this song until they realized it was about Satan. I believe this video was made before Tobias revealed his identity and an actor portrayed Papa Emeritus III in the video.
I wish that I was fly on the wall at those stations seeing PD's reactions knowing that song is actually means. Song might mean something about Satan. But it is actually parodied those Fire and Brimstones Preachers and Evangelicalists at local churches plus TV Evangelicalists praying for your souls.
I remember when i saw Ghost here home in Sweden for the first time in a middle big town on a middle big festival. You just knew that this is going to be something
I discovered Ghost through my daughter, who has seen Ghost in concert a few times. They are so talented, the drummer is amazing, fantastic guitarists and of course the one and only Tobias. Loved your review, smiling all through.
I've been checking literally every day for another Ghost reaction (well, Ghost and VoicePlay)! There are SO MANY songs I would suggest for Ghost. I don't think you've reacted to "Faith" yet (correct me if I'm wrong), the one from A Pale Tour Named Death has studio audio with video from live performances during that tour. They did another similar video for "Life Eternal" which was the culmination of the same tour and ended with Cardinal Copia becoming Papa Emeritus IV. There are also so many great tracks that don't have actually music videos, but are fantastic nonetheless. "Kaiserion", "Absolution", "Ghuleh/Zombie Queen", "Majesty", "Mummy Dust", and so many more!
Fabulous tune. Incidentally, if you watch the original video again at 2:09 (3:03 in your reaction video) and go forward frame by frame, you will catch one frame that shows Tony Alamo, the cult leader. I think you picked up that this tune is supremely satirical! It sounds like a modern Christian song, just better. I am really enjoying your Ghost journey, and have subscribed. You remind me of me, I discovered Ghost at the back of '22, but I have the luxury of bingeing the back catalogue 🙂 As someone has already suggested, 'Faith' from A Pale Tour Named Death, a rather bitter but powerful song, 'Square Hammer' (which is their second most streamed song), also a brilliant video, and the moving 'Life Eternal', which is one of their most beautiful and simple tunes; the video is set to fan footage at a concert in Mexico City, as a love letter to the fans (look for 'Life Eternal Palacio de los Deportes'). The song itself can be read more than one way but has been used at funerals AND weddings... Copia becomes Papa Emeritus IV at the end of that one. Oh, and 'Absolution', an absolute banger, just brought back into the live setlist. Oh, and 'Witch Image'. Oh and 'Imperium' into 'Kaisarion' (album opener for 'Impera'), and 'Griftwood', and... and...
I've been watching your Ghost reactions and have been living vicariously through you since I can't hear Ghost for the first time again. I'd suggest Year Zero, Griftwood, Imperium/Kaiserian, the Sirius radio version of Zombie Queen, Kiss the Go Goat, and Mummy Dust since I don't think you've done any of those yet.
Ghost has disrupted some conventions about heavy/hard rock and some people don't like having their turf uprooted(Grunge is a good example), not me I've enjoyed Ghost. Every album is different Tobias doesn't try to repeat himself to often.
Watcher in the sky...rats... mummy dust...Cirice...Spillways...call me little sunshine....tina Turner cover We dont need another hero....Dance Macabre huh I may be a fan.

LOL. I can only imagine their faces after that

As a former fundamentalist christian and current Ghost enjoyer, this is the best and most accurate reaction I've seen. Propers.
Dude, your reaction is a delight to watch. Just enjoying the music and not interrupting it - kudos!

Metal bands make songs about the devil. Ghost makes songs for the devil
Damn I love Satan!
I'm sure I'm not the first person to say this but,
You kinda look like Roman Reigns.
I can't not see Jim Jones .
You are correct. I think there's even one frame of his actual likeness in there.
