It’s funny bc I was the same way. A lot of their early stuff had an immediate impact and I loved it. But since the prequelle album on, every time I hear a new song I’m worried I’m not going to love it. And then a few listens later I start liking it more. This song I instantly loved!!
This song is actually the closing to the new micheal myers movie! i dont know if you saw him but he is with Papa on the end of the MV ^___^ the release of this song apparently got delayed bcoz the movie got delayed ^^
It's is like this. Tobias is never really satisfied when a record is done. It's always something that he feels that he could do better or change until next time. When the recording for Impera was about to start one thing he changed was the drummer. Ludvig Kennberg played on Meliora and Prequelle. (And Opus). But on Impera it's Richard Huxflux Nettermalm . He also changed the size of the drumkit to a much larger and uses double bass drums for the first time. One other thing he did was that he felt that he needed a better guitarist than himself. Tobias really can play and almost every note you hear on the albums is played by Tobias. But this time he asked his friend Fredrik Åkesson from Opeth just because he thinks that he is better. And Fredrik accepted. A massive massive job there is up to twelve layers of guitars on some tracks. But Fredrik is absolutely flawless the whole album through. Tobias was never happy with the first version of Hunter's Moon and when the film was postponed a year he decided to re record it and that's the album version. Unfortunately the movie company refused to change and that's why there is two versions.
the song was made for halloween kills! I LOVE IT as a person who loves horror flims! I am so happy to hear that ghost was making a song for the movie! Its so awesome
I'm not a big Ghost fan, but I like this. There is a safe, familiar feeling to it, almost romantic. Maybe it's that yummy feeling of classic horror movies. And the video is in beautiful colors. Great reaction, thanx! 🤘
How did anyone not notice all those guitars?!? XD I know what you mean that being a musician, you notice things that people who aren't might not, and that's why I watch all your videos - you're a serious musician who's discovering Ghost like a musician, and being a musician too, I love hearing your insights. And I love that other musicians love Ghost! Fun trivia: Halloween 2 was one of the first horror movies little Tobias Forge ever saw as a kid, and the series has been a lifelong favourite of his ever since. He must have been so pumped when they asked him to do a song for a Halloween movie!
I immediately thought of that thing in the 80s/early 90s where horror movies would get end credits songs from the hard rock/metal world. Like Alice Cooper and Friday the 13th VI and Dokken with Nightmare on Elm Street 3.
Ghost helped me find you and you have kept me entertained with these reactions, when you said “where’s papa” that’s how we know you probably like seeing our papa 👀 I currently love the current Papa he be the rat man, keep up the good videos. Again welcome to the ghost family you don’t have to like all their songs for us to accept you just have a good time and appreciate the music Edit: love how you looked for papa And said he should’ve been in the music video more lol
Listen to the main riff of this song and then listen to the Halloween theme song, there's a similarity. Also, a good number of songs on this album borrow riffs from classic rock/hair metal songs from bands like Van Halen, White Snake, Bon Jovi and Journey ect
The idea behind Hunters Moon, comes from the term Harvest moon, which is some sort of equinox phenomenon where the moon is full 3 nights on a row. As a part of some harvest moon ritual, deers were hunted and killed. As others pointed put, the track is originally ( in a different version) from the movie Halloween kills. Hunters moon, harvest moon, the killing of deers = easy prey, also for mr myers. I agree that the song doesnt fit the album very well, it seems like a filler , but a good one that is. The next one you are gettin to "Watcher in the sky" is a banger! Look forward to that one.. You might wonder about the fadeout in the end of that song, but when you own the LP it makes perfect sende, as we are entering a new era on side B. Be sure to listen to dominion and twenties together, to get the correct experience buddy🙏
I think with this one, as you know we can't really categorise ghost as this type or that type of music, but the to me is one you'd associate more with through and through heavy metal, gritty, great guitar phrases & licks, as a guitarist myself, they're some catchy as hell riffs that work no matter what genre they decide to play in that day lol
Heh, I knew you would say something about it being shorter, and I agree, it's definitely too short. It always makes me want to hear it again. He probably had to make it shorter *because* it's for a movie, but I don't know that for sure. I love the bass in this song so much, and all of the effects add so much. CMLS is a great track, but I can't wait for you to hear Respite on the Spitalfields. I am curious about how you'll feel about Twenties, but I'm seriously looking forward to ROTS.
i can’t wait for you to hear Twenties!! very excited to get your opinion on it; it took me a few listens for it to actually grow on me but now it’s one of my favorites😁
I think it's me who said it felt different. I think it's more when you listen through the album in order it stands out. The rest you can see fit into the rise and fall of Empires theme of the album, this lyrically is very different and (to me at least) feels out of place. It's a great song though! I really like it.
@RockdaRiff I hadn't been a fan of Mastadon's earlier albums so I hadn't heard them in a while, I was happily surprised by how much I enjoyed their set. The prog/concept vibe with the great art on stage was enough to make me check out their most recent output and like it.
I know I already posted a comment about your reaction, but I forgot to say at the end that if you're still looking for other artists to react to, I strongly recommend checking out a song by Nothing More if you haven't already heard it called Tired of Winning (link below to the official video). I really do think you'll like it. ua-cam.com/video/lR4yR_rjhEg/v-deo.html
I can't stand the movie credits version for some reason. I guess it's because I heard this version first and was hoping to hear it in the movie, not something different.
Tobias kept to the same notes that were in the original Halloween movie theme song which I think is an awesome way to honor what came before :)
He kept the tricky 9/4 time signature in that riff too, which is part of what makes it sound so creepy, and I find that very cool.
Wow, that's super cool....and I watched that 1st movie in theaters way back then. That's an awesome piece of trivia
Yeah, first time I heard it without context, I thought, "5/4, and they're ripping off Halloween?" Now I know better.
Dropping immediately what I was doing. You are so fun to watch and I'm happy you found Ghost and that YT recommended your videos
This was the first Ghost song I heard and I was immediately obsessed. Now I'm a big big fan. These guys are amazing

Welcome to the family (:
If you have Ghost, you have everything!

Tobias is one hell of a song writer! How many bands have as many great songs as Ghost has put out in basically 12 years? hardly any fillers
the song was made for halloween kills! I LOVE IT as a person who loves horror flims! I am so happy to hear that ghost was making a song for the movie! Its so awesome
I love how you can hear parts of the Halloween theme’s melody in this one, it’s there in the chorus!
I'm not a big Ghost fan, but I like this. There is a safe, familiar feeling to it, almost romantic. Maybe it's that yummy feeling of classic horror movies. And the video is in beautiful colors. Great reaction, thanx! 🤘

Edit: love how you looked for papa And said he should’ve been in the music video more lol
Hi! Fifth generation musician. I love this band. Like how they brought back theSquare Hammer flange trick.
YEY another ghost reaction! Hunter's moon is perfect for a horror movie xD
Listen to the main riff of this song and then listen to the Halloween theme song, there's a similarity. Also, a good number of songs on this album borrow riffs from classic rock/hair metal songs from bands like Van Halen, White Snake, Bon Jovi and Journey ect
To be fair, this song came up quite before the album did, like Call Me Little Sunshine
That's my 2021 song of the year 🤟 So catchy AF! And that was the first official video that reveal Papa IV 👻
It grows!

I do believe this was made for the Halloween Kills soundtrack.
When you get to "Twenties" I think that you might like it, just my thoughts tho
This albums instrumentation is phenomenal with its style...
Not the most technical, but very well orchestrated.
Not everything has to be technical
I think with this one, as you know we can't really categorise ghost as this type or that type of music, but the to me is one you'd associate more with through and through heavy metal, gritty, great guitar phrases & licks, as a guitarist myself, they're some catchy as hell riffs that work no matter what genre they decide to play in that day lol

CMLS is a great track, but I can't wait for you to hear Respite on the Spitalfields. I am curious about how you'll feel about Twenties, but I'm seriously looking forward to ROTS.
I thiught itd be about a Werewolf
Instead it seems to be about a dead sibling coming back to Haunt
i can’t wait for you to hear Twenties!! very excited to get your opinion on it; it took me a few listens for it to actually grow on me but now it’s one of my favorites😁
Mastodon 🤘🏻
I think it's me who said it felt different. I think it's more when you listen through the album in order it stands out. The rest you can see fit into the rise and fall of Empires theme of the album, this lyrically is very different and (to me at least) feels out of place. It's a great song though! I really like it.
So you are aware that the US tour in 2022 was with Mastadon? They were very good live as well.
That would a fun show…mastodon is one of my favorite bands…I have one of their album covers tattooed on my arm
@RockdaRiff I hadn't been a fan of Mastadon's earlier albums so I hadn't heard them in a while, I was happily surprised by how much I enjoyed their set. The prog/concept vibe with the great art on stage was enough to make me check out their most recent output and like it.
Check out the song Poison by Alice Cooper. Tobias stated Alice was an influence, especially the Trash/Hey Stoopid era for the Impera album.
Yea I know that track well..grew up hearing it
@@rockdariff Yeah Alice is great. Spillways has major Poison vibes too.
I know I already posted a comment about your reaction, but I forgot to say at the end that if you're still looking for other artists to react to, I strongly recommend checking out a song by Nothing More if you haven't already heard it called Tired of Winning (link below to the official video).

I didnt care for a lot of the songs at first but they all grew on me and now i cant find one i dont like
This might be the only Ghost song I don't really like.
Funny how different opinions are sometimes. This one is definitely one of my favs
@@mycat5663I like it but we have to remember Tobias wrote it for a movie as apposed to his band .
The movie version is a bit more “orchestrated” but I like the Impera version better
I can't stand the movie credits version for some reason. I guess it's because I heard this version first and was hoping to hear it in the movie, not something different.
