The fact this song is sort of the "forgotten" song says a lot about how the cream definitely doesn't always rise to the top. I don't care if it's not on the album, we're on the Internet. You can easily find this song. Also, how to pronounce the albums like an American: Infest-tiss-uh-mum; Melly-aura. Also, I believe Tobias does every vocal except the few times he's used his kids (I know he uses his daughter on Twenties on Impera).
Just think about the level of quality from Ghost. Then think about the Meloria sessions, and how they recorded all the album tracks, plus Square hammer and Zenith. Amazing. I really like Zenith, but think it has a bit of overlap with Cirice - which is the centerpiece of Meloria, so could see why it was left off.
Yesss, welcome to the Zenith lovers club!! Quite a big club, apparently. What an amazing song, damn. It's only available in Spotify for the Scandinavian fans, if I recall correctly!!! Lucky them! The other option it's to get a physical copy of Meliora Redux, a Deluxe edition, but that's almost impossible, unfortunately. I downloaded Zenith from UA-cam and at least I can listen to it on my phone! This song is a fucking masterpiece.
Absolutely my favorite Ghost song. They have never played it live. If Tobias ever puts it in the set list, the entire audience will lose their collective shit. Martin / Omega definitely is a talented writer. I think you will like MCC even more knowing his contribution to this song. Again, I recommend Porcupine Tree. Try Hatesong live in Chicago and Cheating the Polygraph live in Tilburg. Cheers!
This is basically a MCC song recorded by Ghost during the Meliora recording sessions. This time, the mastermind behind it is Martin Persner (leader of MCC), who played guitar in Ghost during the first 3 albums.
Zenith is about mankind reaching it's perfection (zenith) and therefore have no use for a God. That's why he sings "help you god" instead of "god help me". God is on his own and set free from his oblications to mankind. The rumor is that Martin Persner wrote the most of the song and yes you can hear inspiration from Magna Carta Cartel in this one. Why it was left out and never played live only Tobias and Martin knows.
Personally when somebody tells me to give them a Ghost song to hear this is the song that I will always recommend first. It’s so good and is just very fascinating to know that it was never released to streaming services. One of and if not the best song that Ghost has ever written.
OH and ghost is well aware about the love for Zenith- if you watch their "Metal Myths Pt. 2" video from april fools day they briefly mention it at the end
I enjoy the shit out of your channel. Keep at it brother. Glad I found this channel. I've been absomuthafuckin'lutely infatuated with Ghost for a year now. I've been playing guitar since I was 10 and grew up in the mid to late 70"s and 80's. Finally a band that utilizes almost every genre of music and incorporates it brilliantly and originally. Peace brother.
Fuck yeah, Zenith!! I honestly don’t know why it isn’t on Meliora… I gotta find the exact reason. But I know the only way to get a physical copy of Zenith is by getting the limited edition Meliora box set that has a very cool green colored 7 inch of this in it. I have it and am embarrassed to divulge how much I paid for it 😂
Fantastic song. My inly crotque of your critique is I think an absence of a guitar solo was the right call on this one. They subbed in am extended choir segment instead, and I feel it fits way better woth the 'evil' sound haha. I think a guitar solo in the middle of this would actually detract from the song
Tobias sings the songs on the album alone, but live he has a couple ghouls that sing with him, one of them plays acoustic guitar and the other one plays piano/keyboard
the riff of this song came out from a band called "MCC" the name of the song is "that it's already too late too leave". you should to listen to them, cause they are awesome. this year, they released a new album called "The Dying Option" which to worth listen to it. imo it's one of the best album of 2022. this song and year zero is the only two ghost songs which Tobias is not the main writer, it's Martin Persner AKA Omega, he is credit as "Indio Marcato". MCC SONG STORIES # 5 - THAT IT IS ALREADY TOO LATE TO LEAVE. This song originates from a series of riffs created way back in maybe 1998, created by @martin_persner when trying to find his way around writing picking-patterns that was based on drone tones. Funny enough, another ”riff” from that same time is the intro/vers/bridge pattern later used for @thebandghost ”Zenith” in 2015: a riff also heavily reliant on its drone tones.
Wow, I’d never heard this either. Awesome song. It’s pronounced “my-az-ma” lol. That means a large amount of bad smell. 🤣 that is also the song that’s playing when young Nihil and his buddy are walking up to the house at the beginning of Dance Macabre!
This is one of my favorite Ghost songs. It bothers me that whoever put the lyrics on this video wrote "right will turn to wrong" when the song actually says "Night will turn to dawn". So it goes: "time will soon be gone, night will turn to dawn, winds come on strong, so help you God, come unleashed, you've set free"
I’m super late but ghost finally released zenith on their new best hits album 13 commandments! Not sure about Apple Music but it’s up on Spotify now just if you haven’t noticed yet!
I know how you can get an original version. You have to buy the ultra limited edition vinyl Papa Emeritus box set. It's extremely rare but that's the only way you can hear the original version of this song. Yeah you can hear this version all over but only the ones who bought this set can hear the real version. Go to a Ghost ritual as soon as you can. It's fucking awesome. \,,/
Its funny you bring up Zenith being played live bc its a years long running joke in the fandom of "will they ever play zenith live?" (to my knowledge they never have) So much so that in the "Metal Myths Pt 2" vid its brought up and its damn funny if you understand it.
Have somone said to check out Miasma live? The epic saxs solo is beautiful. But I guess little lore knowledge of who is playing could confuse you if you're not familiar about him
Zenith is like a hidden gem.

This song is one of my favorites, it really sucked when they took it down from Spotify 😔
But isnt meliora redux available to you? Its on my spotify🤷♂️
@@kaarem-t8899 it's only available in Sweden I think
@@kaarem-t8899 It was available years ago, but one day it was gone... 😭. And I'm talking about Zenith in specific.
I have some good news for ya…
It is available on Spotify. If it’s only available in Sweden you can always use a VPN.

Never thought about it like that but it makes sense lol Zenith is a "Ghostified" MCC song
I've always thought that Zenith is the perfect halfway point between MCC and Ghost. And it's also very nearly a perfect song.
What do you mean when you say MCC?
@@darthoblivion2615 Magna Carta Cartel, the band
@@ronaldorodriguez104 thanks 👍. I really hate acronyms.

The cover art is a replica of "Rosemarys baby"
That image is a play on the Rosemary's Baby poster. Just another one of Ghost's references to horror.
This was recorded during Meliora sessions.But mostly writen n arranged by Omega(Martin Persner)
My fav song of Ghost. And i love many of them but this one...perfection
Personally when somebody tells me to give them a Ghost song to hear this is the song that I will always recommend first. It’s so good and is just very fascinating to know that it was never released to streaming services. One of and if not the best song that Ghost has ever written.
Also the cover is inspired from the movie “Rosemarys baby”
Zenith is in the Meliora Redux boxset and CD.... Its technically on spotify but not in the US

He works with hit makers in sweden.

@@magnusblomqvist966 yeah eBay was the only place I could find it and I think it’s gone up in price since I got it 😅
There are 6 of the CD Meliora Redux available on Discogs. Starting at $175!
Oh man I wished this Song would be on Spotify

Also one of my many many many favorite songs, plus I really love this drum track, so fun to play 🥁❤️🤘
This band justs sucks u in, Into a rabbit hole thats soooooo great that u dont want to leave....
💯
I'm glad to see Zenith made it in! Definitely a great Ghost song. 🤘
Zenith is on the Meliora (Redux) album and it was only released in Scandinavia.
The album is called " Meliora redux" .. only in Scandinavia
You can download the UA-cam version as an MP3 and save it to your apple music / spotify by importing local files into your library
That's what happened with me haha. It's such a vibe about it, it's great song. Little illigal but I can't help it. It's so good
I love this song when hearing it, then immediately forget it exists. Very rare for my music head.
Zenith Is my favorite track with Kaisarion close behind, I go crazy whenever one of them starts playing heh.
finally!! 😍 I knew you would like Zenith! and yeah it's a shame that's not on spotify or anything and then they never played it live :((
Miasma, pronounced -my- -asthma-. Rock on man!! 🤘

MCC SONG STORIES # 5 - THAT IT IS ALREADY
TOO LATE TO LEAVE.
This song originates from a series of riffs created way

find his way around writing picking-patterns that was
based on drone tones. Funny enough, another ”riff” from
that same time is the intro/vers/bridge pattern later used
for @thebandghost ”Zenith” in 2015: a riff also heavily reliant on

Nice! I'm pretty sure I read all those song stories but don't remember seeing that part
@@ronaldorodriguez104 those songs stories are really cool
@@hnzeroghoul7474 Indeed. Always cool to learn a little backstory
Btw this song was just released on all the music streaming sites under their 13 Commandments compilation. It's kind of like a "best of" so to speak.
AHHH!!! I literally LOVE this song 😩🤌 it SUCKS its not on Spotify I'm so MAD bro 😭 it's such a good song !
Wow, I’d never heard this either. Awesome song.
It’s pronounced “my-az-ma” lol. That means a large amount of bad smell. 🤣 that is also the song that’s playing when young Nihil and his buddy are walking up to the house at the beginning of Dance Macabre!

been waiting for this one
More GHOST! More chorus. 😆

The album is Meliora. Me LI O ra. Not Meloria lol
Zenith is pure perfection.
Mel-ee-ora- you got this man lol!!
I have this on Meloria. Best song on the album.

Also, there are ways to download audio tracks from youtube, if you are willing to partner up with captain jack and sail the high seas.
Does anyone know why Zenith is not officially on any albums or anything like that. I know it is a Martin song but is that the only reason
Of course you've played Metal Hellsinger....Right!?
Seacula Seaculorum means Forever and Ever
Its funny you bring up Zenith being played live bc its a years long running joke in the fandom of "will they ever play zenith live?" (to my knowledge they never have) So much so that in the "Metal Myths Pt 2" vid its brought up and its damn funny if you understand it.
I have been looking for a bootleg of this song for some time now.. and unsuccessful.
; )
Can’t even buy it on Apple Music
Have somone said to check out Miasma live? The epic saxs solo is beautiful. But I guess little lore knowledge of who is playing could confuse you if you're not familiar about him
If it makes you feel better, you don't pronounce Meliora correctly either 😀
God I never heard this song until today, it’s just been released on Ghosts latest album.🤦♂️
Yea im so glad they released a “greatest hits” comp with zenith on it🤘🏻
@@rockdariff definitely man I’m in New Zealand and only just learned of this song as it came up on Spotify😂
