Darkness in the heart of my love is one of those power metal ballads that the world is missing nowadays, the guitar solos, the passion.. .great reaction to this song guys!
Ugh, I haven't felt emotions, like I am, listening to the song for a song time. I think this is one of new favorites. His delivery of the lyrics and vocal choices, they are like butter over the instrumental choices.
Darkness at the heart of my love is AMAZING! The VERSE is amazing… so chill and just awesome…! This is the ballad I’ve been waiting ANYONE to write and release. I did t see GHOST being the band to deliver. Not since 2012 Slipknot SNUFF have I LOVED a song as I do this one! And, WHAT A GREAT ALBUM!!!!! Well done GHOST
Such a beautiful and 80's inspired power ballad... Loving it even more with every listen! According to Tobias, this song is about people promoting all of these values under the guise of being god-fearing and righteous while they practise none of it. It’s just for cash and power.
Interesting. It's tough sometimes to know what they're about, but I like that they can have multiple interpretations just by going off what the song lyrics are. Everyone has their own perspective and experience that color how they interpret. But always good to know the original creator's intent!
Pretty judgemental of Tobias.Is he not doing his thing for the same reasons?He really needs to get over Catholic school or wherever he has such bad experiences with Christian people (if you want to call Catholics Christians)Back in the day nuns weren't afraid to hit kids with whatever was handy and people grew up well adjusted despite it all.They got over it.He needs to do the same--but wait!He's capitalizing on it!😂
Tobias said in a interview "This is about people promoting all of these values under the guise of being God-fearing and righteous while they practise none of it. It's just for cash and power." (Like prosperity preachers). When looked through that lens, the song hits another level. One of the best on Impera.
Tobias said in an interview that this record has the most layers of guitars amongst their records. And why not use Fredrik Åkesson as much as possible if you ask me?😄🤘
Tobias has been doing his vocals unmasked on albums. But masked on tour. I would like him to ditch mask on tour and use his actual vocals on tour. He has a great voice.
I can’t wait to scream this song with thousands and thousands of people at my next show. This is so perfect Ghost Ritual, like ever wanted to feel like an actual Ritual? Here you go fans, time for us to go to church and worship
That’s all I think about when listening to this song, a huge crowd, everyone screaming the lyrics and feeling it. Imagine how awesome that would feel and sound, I’d probably end up tearing up lol
Possibly one of the best Power ballads ever!! Extremely melodic and powerful. With what the world has been going through with Covid-19 and now the Ukrainian conflict, this song and the rest of "Impera" are just what we need to lift our spirits in a very big way!!👻👻👽👽🤘🤘
This song gives me such Sweeney Todd vibes, like he's setting up to make a Ghost musical (which he has spoken about wanting to do before). When you get into the depth of the song's message, it is actually a really heavy topic. I've really been enjoying your reaction videos and I can't wait to see the rest for this album. Great job! Oh, also, Orisonata (*wink*) sounds like an album I am interested in.
Holy hell, yes! I hadn’t thought about that, but I can hear it now. I’m a sucker for musicals like Sweeney Todd, Rocky Horror, Repo!, Little Shop of Horrors, etc. If there’s a Ghost musical, they need to just surgically attach my butt to the seat right now.
You should check out the live version of Little Sunshine they did for Jimmy Kimmel - you really get to hear all the backing vocals of the various ghouls and it's absolutely glorious.
Orisonata Will check out y'all's music And huge ghost fan here and you guys remind me of my wife and I and seeing the joy you guys have for music is just is a fresh breath of air
Orisonata. After listening to all of Impera. I would highly recommend going back and listening to the song Jigolo Har Megiddo live acoustic, and their cover of if you have ghost.
You're probably correct about the guitars. At least for Prequelle, Tobias overlaid 2 guitars each for the lead and rhythm parts and picked different vintage guitars for each to get the exact sound he wanted.
Not in the US unfortunately but hey maybe you'll tour Scotland one day. Dominion is not my fave track but it does fit in with the aesthetic. But Darkness in the heart of my love is beautiful
I love her reaction to the hook in this song. I picture Imagine Dragons singing this at halftime of the Superbowl.....it has that feel. Thru appearance nobody that ever looks at this band visually with no sound would ever envision them singing this song. This is an epic song no matter....but an even more epic song performed by anyone other than Ghost. Sad the industry is like this....but it is what it is.
Also… while playing the entire record through, Watcher in the Sky fits perfectly and you do not want to miss out on that song, trust me! Spillways is my least favorite right now. And track 10… it’s OK. Not great.
@@FlameImperishable I haven’t found my love for those two tracks yet, but of the two Respite is cool I just need to hear it more. I mean it’s ALL good! 💪
@@FlameImperishable I’ve since totally changed my opinion on the last two tracks! Love them! Well, the last track! And, how the outro solo is the INTRO solo of the very first track… it’s amazing. Total continuity throughout the album
@@CodyJamez707 I know exactly what you mean. With so many bangers in there portfolio, it takes a few listens to realize they all hit the mark just on different targets. My favorite Ghost song honestly changes by the day/week.
Why did you skip Spillways?! That was like the best song on the album! You also skipped Watcher in the Sky for some reason... You are gonna do all the songs on the album you haven't heard, right? Actually, if you do Spillways, maybe react to the live performance they streamed yesterday.
Okay, funny story... We reacted to every song on the new album in order. There was no real logic behind the order of which the videos were posted, however.... the one reaction video we shot that didn't turn out well was Spillways. Not up to our normal fun banter and quality in my opinion. Our kids started having a meltdown and were fighting/yelling in the next room about something and we got super distracted and flustered. So, that said, we will reshoot Spillways this Thursday evening with full disclosure that it's not technically a "First" reaction. Thanks for your support of the channel!
The chorus really reminds me of a kinda Imagine Dragons-ish ballad style, or in any way, a kind of early to mid 2010's love songs, with those stops and accents
Good call on Mozart's Requiem, but personally it reminds me of Elgar. And "Darkness" could be actually be by The Darkness, especially the chorus. I've spun the album 7 times now and it's made me cry twice.
Thank you! Love you both.Ps.I wish I could have whiskers like you...;) Hercule Poirot :Dgreetings from Finland...war is now near to us....because Russia is our nearest country.Our president Sauli Niinistö spoke one hour with Putin yesterday on the phone.
Wow, that is scary. I am so sorry for what ya'll are going through. We pray for a peaceful resolution to this war and justice for all atrocities committed.
Everyone says that Fredrik Åkeson played the solos on the album..and he deserves all the acolades he can get .. Now was it him or Tobias who wrote the Solos ? peace :)
No idea, but my guess would be Tobias gave him a sketch of what he was looking for and Fredrik embellished them. Or maybe he just said, "here do whatever you want, I trust you" hmm.....
darkness at the heart of my love is about those people who don't practice what they preach who will tell YOU to fear God but don't believe in God themselves they just want your money and the power behind it
Hey man, yes, we did Spillways, but unfortunately, we got super distracted by the kids having a meltdown in the next room and our normal fun "banter and discussion" was really awkward and not up to our self proclaimed standard of quality :) However, we're planning to do a reshoot of Spillways this week, even though it won't technically be a "first reaction" 😁
@@FlameImperishable Cool but you don't really need "pro gear", just a decent set of headphones. I have a pair of AKG k240s that sound great. Run you about 60 bucks. Your ears will thank you.
Darkness in the heart of my love is one of those power metal ballads that the world is missing nowadays, the guitar solos, the passion.. .great reaction to this song guys!
"That's at least four lead guitars"
*all nine members begin to tremble*
BAHAHA
Ugh, I haven't felt emotions, like I am, listening to the song for a song time. I think this is one of new favorites. His delivery of the lyrics and vocal choices, they are like butter over the instrumental choices.
Legit had full body goosebumps at the end of the first listen. Hasn't happened to me with a song in a very long time.
Would you believe Tobias never wanted to sing? He just couldn't find a singer for his new project and decided to do it himself out of necessity.
I hope you doing "Respite On The Spitalfields" as well. It's a masterpiece!
Of course! I’ll post it tomorrow!
@@FlameImperishable Nice, thank you!
Darkness at the heart of my love is AMAZING! The VERSE is amazing… so chill and just awesome…! This is the ballad I’ve been waiting ANYONE to write and release.

My unpopular opinion.... properity gospel preachers are more aligned with Satan than Jesus.
@@FlameImperishable they just aren't always aware of who they are being controlled by. Need to pray for them
@@FlameImperishable Hey now, Satan doesn't want those creeps either!
This should be dine live for real
Tobias said in an interview that this record has the most layers of guitars amongst their records. And why not use Fredrik Åkesson as much as possible if you ask me?😄🤘
I can tell!
MAJESTY by them is also a very underrated song I would like to suggest listening to later 😌
absolutely love Majesty! Such an underrated gem.
Was so happy they pulled this out on the second leg of Prequelle dates
Majesty has the most perfect Deep Purple inspired intro riff I've ever heard. Very catchy... and organ-ic. 😁
I get emotional everytime i hear this song. What a great piece
Tobias has been doing his vocals unmasked on albums. But masked on tour. I would like him to ditch mask on tour and use his actual vocals on tour. He has a great voice.

A year down the line, and it's the only song they never played live from Impera...
Same like can you imagine thousands of people singing the final " im with you always, always" the energy is something i can Only imagine.
Possibly one of the best Power ballads ever!! Extremely melodic and powerful. With what the world has been going through with Covid-19 and now the Ukrainian conflict, this song and the rest of "Impera" are just what we need to lift our spirits in a very big way!!👻👻👽👽🤘🤘
Had to help my sister-in-law move yesterday and had this blasting in the truck. She said this was her favorite track from what she heard.
Still Jennifer's favorite track. Mine is still Respite, though Griftwood is close!
@@FlameImperishable bro no spoilers some of us are catching up ! Haha 😝

THANK YOU. Nobody else was hearing the Requiem in Dominion and I was starting to doubt my own ears and/or sanity.
Orisonata!
Love that you guy’s are doing this album, while we’re all getting familiar with it.
That mustache is ✨❤✨glorious✨❤✨
Love ghost and the new album, darkness is my favorite track on the album. 🤘🤘🎸🎸
Orisonata 🤘🏽🤘🏽
Much love from New Mexico!! 💛💛🇺🇸
Pop music being "the fast food version of music" might be the best analogy I've ever heard! Haha. Love this review guys.
Thanks man!
Darkness at thr Heart of My Love makes me go all soft inside,and my crush on Papa grows stronger. :}
Sometimes they remind me of Queen.
This song is a freaking masterpiece. My fiance and I have this at our wedding next year
You should check out the live version of Little Sunshine they did for Jimmy Kimmel - you really get to hear all the backing vocals of the various ghouls and it's absolutely glorious.
Those biceps, nice 🤟😁👌
Orisonata! Interested to hear your new album soon the bits you've played in your videos are very intriguing.
Appreciate the support, thank you! Yeah the album has "been a long time coming" 😀
Amazing.🌫️
Orisonata. I would absolutely love to get your album. 🔥 i love the sneak peek we get in the intro and outro so I'm curious to hear more!
haha, a little shameless self promotion :) Thanks!
I would love to have to guys check out Ghost's "7 inches of Satanic Panic"
Mainly the track "Mary on a Cross"
Guys, did you never heard ghost before this album?
Nope this was our first time hearing them… The singles they released for this album, Sunshine was officially the first song i’d heard.
Love it when you both echoed the lyrics in unison!
Orisonata! Definitely looking forward to your new album!
Well that makes two of us! 🤣
Orisonata
Will check out y'all's music
And huge ghost fan here and you guys remind me of my wife and I and seeing the joy you guys have for music is just is a fresh breath of air
That's awesome! It's also what brought us together way back in 2003!
Enjoyed watching this video! Great review
Thanks for watching Brandon!
Orisonata! Can't wait to hear it!
Have to do spillways that song is so fucking crazy that’s something I never heard from ghost with that song I felt like the shining
We'll get it up soon!
Orisonata! I’d love the album!
This song is the power ballad of "He Is" with a mixture of "Ghuleh" (Zombie Queen).
Still need to check out That song!
Orisonata .........Just found your channel! Great stuff!
Easily the best song on the album!
Orisonata.
After listening to all of Impera. I would highly recommend going back and listening to the song Jigolo Har Megiddo live acoustic, and their cover of if you have ghost.
Orisonata, Impera is amazing lol and after loosing a best friend these two pieces, well, made me cray like a baby lmao, stay safe
Ah shit thats terrible my thoughts go out to you
@@swemangaming3980 it's a part of life and luckily I have music to null the pain..lol
So sorry to hear that!
Orisonata
Definitely checking you all out for your 🎶 🎵
Thank you so much! I stuck a play list together on youtube of the entire album.
Orisonata 😁 Darkness at the Heart of My Love is easily becoming my favorite Ghost song ever.
Nice!
You're probably correct about the guitars. At least for Prequelle, Tobias overlaid 2 guitars each for the lead and rhythm parts and picked different vintage guitars for each to get the exact sound he wanted.
Such a good reaction, guys!
Thanks!
Ooh! I like fantasy! I like progressive metal! Orisonata please! I'll check you guys out on teh streamers even if I don't win!
Awesome, thank you so much!
Not in the US unfortunately but hey maybe you'll tour Scotland one day. Dominion is not my fave track but it does fit in with the aesthetic. But Darkness in the heart of my love is beautiful
That would be amazing!
Orisonata.. 🤘 sorry just found out about you guys .
Ghost brought me here...subscribing.
Thanks Ray!!

Is it too late, ORISONATA!!!
Send me an email and I’ll get you a download code! Flameimperishableband at gmail 👍
Does your albums sell outside of the US? I would love to have one but I live in Brazil
It should be available digitally every where!
Awesome, I'm gonna listen to it. Thanks :D
Remember
For me this sounds like it could be an Abba song.
TBH, I’ve never listened to Abba!
darkness at the heart of my love is about those people who don't practice what they preach who will tell YOU to fear God but don't believe in God themselves they just want your money and the power behind it
Griftwood next!!!
Interesting how girls and guys judge songs. Darkness at the Heart of my Love is for the ladies for sure.
Like Tobias Forge should be Papa Emiratis V
We leave this Unresolved , for Satan !
Dominion sounds like undertakers theme song
How can you pause the song so many times????? LOL
I want Spillways reaction

Sorry, fits limit my shipping costs but perhaps we can work out a free Digital download for other countries!
@@FlameImperishable i was joking, but thank you for the offer. I really enjoy your videos.
spillways come on
It's coming this week. Sorry for the delay.
Still no headphones eh?.... Drag.
Sorry man, if things keep growing like they are, I’ll have to invest in more pro gear soon. For now, just doing what we can with what we have. 😁
