    So, when learning this bass line, I realized that half the time the 6th fret is played, it is played 3 times in a row, so the tab spells "6 6 6". While I think it's just a neat coincidence, I wouldn't be surprised if this was on purpose, given it's Ghost.

      Probably on purpose, since you could have played first fret on the higher string.

      One thing I will always commend them for is the thought that goes into their music. It’s not just a coincidence that they make satanic music that could easily be mistaken for a Beatles song.
      Hell, they covered a Beatles song better than the original.

    I love how Tobias mixes comedy in his music, picking Kay Johnson ( Madame Satan) as the 30's movie to the backdrop to this song was genius. The whole roaring 20's and 30's vibe with Square Hammer, the King Kong reference on Majesty's artwork ( and referenced again in Marionette ) etc .. love the humor

      @@randyerb6839 They're not black metal. Black metal has screeching. Not even Deicide is black metal(it's death metal). Ghost is mostly rock/hard rock, though they flirt with (early) heavy, psychedelic, doom, and progressive metal occasionally. Their inspiration includes the beach boys, but if I was going to compare them to a "metal" band they're more blue oyster cult than anything.

He brings the character to life. This image could have been seen as hokey and pretty shitty, but he owns it, works it and the character is as important as the music.

    How metalheads can hate on this so hard is crazy to me. This goes back to the roots of heavy metal. If you're not a fan of it, okay...but don't say they're pop garbage lmao trust me, most hip hop and pop fans would be shocked by this. Just because it's clean vocals doesn't discredit it. And just because they actually have FUN and act satirical doesn't make it less metal. Reminds me of Judas Priest mixed with White Zombie. And the stage act is really entertaining too.

      +Everett Savage Are you aware of how much of an elitist you sound like? Because you totally do. People can believe whatever the hell they want to believe. Just because they don't all agree with you doesn't make them a problem. Atheists are just as intolerant as religious people in exactly the same way: "Think like I think or you're wrong."

      +BestWayKilla I am aware that I am not the best at articulation of words. i definitely am no elitist by any means. I never poked a word at anyone..until I was commented on..so I replied in kind. I recall saying believe in yourself. ..and that I am anti religion. Atheists are on another level. My original post, was a viewpoint about the video...it seems that there are those that want to say something about my words. which is fine...but I never said..believe how I believe.
      I believe in Science. Thats it. oh..and Love Ghost.
      You may choose to jump on my words..and say what you wish. I only wish..for the world..to see the Universe that I see.

      We both love Ghost, that we can agree on. I am not religious myself, but I'm not an atheist either. I just find that calling people who believe in God or a higher being a "problem" isn't warranted.

"Blackened feathers falling down" "you will wear your independence like a crown" like how Satan the "archangel" had "fallen" from Gods grace and is now reigning "independant" in Hell. I KNOW it sounds all so EVIL, BUT, Ghost does sing about Satan, and kinda glorifies him because sometimes, MANY times the church is full of lies and hatred. I love Ghost but I don't worship Satan, I am NOT sure IF there IS a God vs Satan situation anyway. If this makles NO sense, sorry I've been having a bit of Vodka tonight.

    In Gnostic myth, the judeo-christian "god" is actually a being known as Yaldabaoth, the Demiurge, a false deity that usurped creation from the true Creator and claimed that it was the one true god. Satan is actually an entity called Satanael, an angel that rebelled against Yaldabaoth by unmasking it and revealing it to be what it truly is, casting the christian lucifer in a much more positive spin. Meliora's overarching theme is that of the void, an absence of god, and I think it's really interesting how they've combined that with Pinnacle to the Pit being about the fall of Lucifer alongside the idea that he's actually tearing away a false god's power. Wear your independence like a crown.

    I love the Luciferian metaphor of somebody being chosen above the others to wield power equal to that of the powers that be, then casting himself from the highest heights and resurrecting after his destruction more powerful, bringing the power to the people. It's almost an exact replica of Samael's rise to the perfect archangel, his destruction of heaven, and his apotheosis through Hell. And it's done so wonderfully stylized and human. Well done! Bravo! Doing the devil's work.

    You have the power
    You wear the crown
    From the pinnacle
    To the pit
    It is a long way down
    You wield the scepter
    You wear the gown
    From the pinnacle
    To the pit
    It is a long way down
    In your empire
    They stare and frown
    From the pinnacle
    To the pit
    It is a long way down
    You are cast out from the heavens to the ground
    Blackened feathers falling down
    You are cast out from the heavens to the ground
    Blackened feathers falling down
    You will wear your independence like a crown
    Cruciger globus
    You stand your ground
    The orbus figure
    What's flat looks round
    From the pinnacle
    To the pit
    It is a long way down
    You are cast out from the heavens to the ground
    Blackened feathers falling down
    You are cast out from the heavens to the ground
    Blackened feathers falling down
    You will wear your independence like a crown
