If Papa put on the Michael Myers mask at the end, it would’ve been a dude pretending to be another dude in a mask pretending to be another dude in a mask potentially causing a tear in the time space continuum.
It's a mostly upbeat song, but every so often it unexpectedly dips into minor key in that tell-tale little way that makes me love Ghost so much. Very glad they're holding on to that signature
@@JKryanX I admit I don't have the hearing to catch onto that all the time, but I'm talking about the parts where they slip into an unexpectedly minor chord. I know my music teacher at some point taught me what that's called but I fully forgot
lol My late fiance was a Scotsman and he always referred to "A Hungers Moon" or a "Border Moon" between his *Extremely* thick accent and the old fashioned (we had a big age difference) and unusual terms and phrases and ability to talk at (what felt like) a couple thousand words a second he would confuse the hell out of people. It was fun to just watch the facial expressions of the unsuspecting strangers who attempted small talk.
Really not for me probably the reason you like pop and most of us GENUINE Ghost fans love real music ,You're clearly just a one hit fan so go away and leave the real Ghost fans alone,Not welcome at all
My favorite thing is that the chorus after each Hunter's Moon is literally the Michael Myers theme. They've changed the pitch and things but the syncopation lines up and it sounds so fucking cool.
Tobias Forge has truly come into his own. His stage persona, his voice, his mastery of the stage and of course, the best music. Each album he creates is so different from the one before, but each one is just as awesome as the one before. I hope Impera finally gives him the validation and legitimacy of the hard work he has put in over the years. He has paid his dues and has change coming back!
Typical Ghost song. First listen is like idk. Then you find yourself playing it all day on repeat using anything you can find as a drum kit. Tobias knows how to make infectious songs. Also love the middle breakdown, so much like Zenith.
It's the exact mix of Rock, Progressive Rock, Metal and Pop. The whole development from the bridge to the chorus with that progressive arrangement is wonderful. The minor chord that sneaks into the harmony of the bridge for a moment is great
@@nickfrappe1251 I agree it's rebranded metal. But the genius is in using a horror movie/satanic theme to rebrand it. If you watch the countless live Ghost videos you can see we've been crying out for a new great live guitar band for ages.
@@DanAdlingtonOnline Uhm what? You do know that Alice Cooper did just that in the 80ies right? Rob Zombie. Marilyn Manson. Slipknot. The list is long. Nothing new, extra ordinary or unique about it. Metal and horror have gone hand in hand since late 60ies.
I don't really know anything about horror movies but I work at a movie theater and I look forward to this song everytime I clean Halloween Kills. It's so good. I'm gonna miss it when it leaves but I'm glad I found the song on here
When I finished watching Halloween Kills in theaters, I stuck around through the whole end credits scene just banging my head, hyped hearing Ghost in an actual movie theater
Dude! I worked at a movie theater too! I would sit around after cleaning Halloween Kills even if I was in a rush, just to hear this song. Every time. So cool to read that someone else did the same thing I did!
Great, now I can't get the image out of my head of TF just out of frame with that leafblower, bouncing around like he does, and making strange, gleeful noises... Damn it!😂
The clergy has blessed us with another masterpiece, at last. This song is Ghost as we all know it. Absolutely amazing. Thank you Papa for blessing us with this. We have waited long, but it was worth it. Thanks for coming back to us
It's been a long time coming I'm coming back for you, my friend To where we'd hide as children I'm coming back for you, my friend Though my memories are faded, they Come back to haunt me once again And though my mind is somewhat jaded now It's time for me to strike again Tonight It's a hunter's moon Under a headstone, sister I'm dying to see you, my friend Back in the old cemetery I'm dying to see you, my friend Though my memories are faded, they Come back to haunt me once again And though my mind is somewhat jaded now It's time for me to strike again Tonight It's a hunter's moon Ooh, I'm coming I'm dying To see you one last time together Though my memories are faded, they Come back to haunt me once again And though my mind is somewhat jaded now It's time for me to strike again I'm coming back for you, my friend Tonight It's a hunter's moon
I hope they play it here in Phoenix, Arizona in March!!!!! I'm so excited to see them! It will be my first Ghost concert and also Volbeat! I just might die! 😭😭😭
@@user-uk9er5vw4c Not bad for a cover band/small venue. Singer's good but, and maybe it's just me, it doesn't seem to have the same chemistry as Ghost.
“It’s been a long time coming….I’m coming back for you my friend” that hit me when I came back to revisit this banger! I love his delivery, it’s so haunting and fits perfectly!
Ghost is one of those bands where their songs just either are something that you absolutely love on the first listen or they end up growing on you like an acquired taste, I totally love this song after a few listens, ghost never goes wrong
@@Lurker.616 where? I think it was probably me lol I posted this comment in 2 different ghost videos (I just had to you know?😂) but if you see anyone else copying my comments pls report it!
@@TheJoazzz because Ghost literally developed a lore. There is is this whole story about cardinal copia becoming papa iv, which is what Prequelle is about. See the story videos on the channel.
It's cool that the first verses of the song are: "It's been a long time coming. I'm coming back for you, my friend" I wonder if this was written as a greeting for all of us.
Great song, so excited for the new album... Tobias is definitely a genius making his songs... I really hope to see a movie about the ghost lore someday!
I also like the classic rock (mid 70's to early 80's) nostalgic sound that is in almost all their music. The Foo Fighters and Nirvana had a bit of that early retro-rock sound too.
Though my memories have faded they come back to haunt me once again. When I’m shopping at the supermarket I’m singing those lyrics out loud and I think people want to have me committed. Brilliant lyrics and superb video
@@Dirkschneider you know, everyone has different opinions, but that don’t mean you have to be a bit aggressive about it. Can share your opinion, but try to be nicer? “In my opinion, the song doesn’t fit as I thought the film wasn’t that good, but glad to hear another’s opinion!” or something like that?
Even as a fan boy I was feeling very "meh" at first but after several listens I'm definitely digging it. The reverb on those drum fills is sexy and the guitar work of picking out the notes in the chorus brings a deeper beauty to the song than if they just played chords. The main guitar riff is cool and "off time" which I dig. The only criminal part of this song is at 2:24 when the ghouls were gearing up for what could've been a dark, nasty solo and the song goes back to vocals without ever busting that nut. Tragic but overall good tune.
@@Zoggest oh I fully admit that if I wasn't already a fan from the opus eponymous days I and was just now introduced to them via this song...I don't think I'd have climbed on the train
According to tracklist on 7 inch LP, Tracklisting: Side A: Hunter's Moon Side B: Hunter's Moon (Film Version) I think one version is going ti be an 'album version'.
Hunter's Moon is my 2 year old's favorite song by ghost. The moment I told her I was listening to "Papa Emeritus" sing, she giggled and loved it. Spillways was both of our introductions to Ghost, but Hunter's Moon has been requested more in the last year+ by her than anything else!
@@jerzu9728 From the same interviews from a year or so ago Tobias said that it will be as heavy as Meliora but in a different way, it will be more riff based and won't have ballads like Life Eternal. Return to roots maybe?
One of my best friends died last year in a car crash, he was 18 and we shared a love for Ghost. But when he died, I somewhat grew apart from Ghost because it felt wrong listening to them without him. He would’ve loved this for sure. And today I was told my cousin will have to be taken off of his life support, he was more like a brother to me and this song just resonated with me. Brought me comfort. I know you probably won’t see this but if by chance you do, thank you Tobias and co.
The production on this is amazing, the guitars are chrisp and decisive, the drumming is the best I have ever heard this drummer is amazing. Would love to know his background. His cymbal work is to be noticed!. Major Kudos to the group!!! This is yet to be played on the radio stations. WTF It's a hit! Watcher in the sky will also be number 1 if the stations play it. and Griftwood is also as good. Indeed the best album released since Boston 1 with so many hits. Thank You Tobias for putting this amazing group together! BTW your re-recording of Spillways with Joe Elliot from Def Leppard was Genius, we appreciate your visionary success!
It was so cool to follow the live stream for 3 days and wait hopefully for the new snippets. To write with all the other fans and now listen to this masterpiece! Thanks very much! I love it!
Nothing beats new Ghost tracks. This band is the Led Zep of our time. Beyond epic and always original. Can't wait for the new album! Papa IV is going to kick ass!
I think of Tobias Forge almost as a rocker version of Trent Reznor at his best - he's the guy who writes everything, plays a whole hell of a lot of the instruments on the albums, and arranges all the outside musicians, hires touring bands, directs the whole show... and is fucking amazing at what he does. Love him or hate him, he's a hell of a musician!
This song has been stuck in my head for days. It is amazing. The vocals are amazing. I liked the almost amateur-ish approach to music before but this is professional music. Papa Emeritus IV will be the greatest Papa of all. Thank you Sister Imperator for your wonderful guidance. You have done well in choice, Sister.
Tobias did it once again: Another excellent composition but for a movie score this time. I always knew he'd be the perfect fit to compose a song for one of these horror flicks! This is just brilliantly executed. If you listen close you can hear there are subtle hints to Carpenter's original 1978 soundtrack. The cool thing about this song is that its essence, if you will, is revealed in the first half minute, ergo it must be the credit score playing at the end of the upcoming movie. You can hear Tobias really put some thought into this, revealing its "hooks" really early on to capture an audience that's already on the edge of their seat from an undoubtedly tense end scene of this movie. Really nicely done, once again! I wonder if he also did some of the rest of the soundtrack for the movie, because those horrifying synths and choirs would be perfect! His father was into film production and I know that this is what Tobias always wanted to do as well. I hope he will continue living his dream and make more productions like this, because it suits him perfectly! Can't wait for the new album to be released!
Now that the hype over a new Ghost song has ended, I think it's time we can really appreciate how good this is. The lyrics telling a story of something of a melancholic nastalgia (while feeling completely distinct from Zombie Queen, which is about the same thing) and the rock n' roll tune that feels both spooky and inviting come together to make this peice of pure art... Though my memories are faded, I'm listening to the song again.
Michaels mask can be seen at 3:07 and also Halloween kills starts playing at the end…This is michaels theme…Finally we have a theme for Michael the same way dream warriors is for Freddy and the man behind the mask is for Jason.
Absolutely love Ghost's style. It was only a little over a year ago that I first even heard of them and I've been hooked since. And so perfect for the new Halloween movie coming out.
Glad to see a new song! Falls in line with the love of horror movies. There have been a few bangers floating around (like the sympathy for the devil cover with the hellacopters). Guess Tobias is pushing for some exposure, can't wait for the next album! :D
It has intoxicated me so much I keep playing it over and over and over again it's mesmerizing it's addictive ,the whole album is...... words are just..... I loved this band from the beginning for me this is the best album of the year.
This band deserves so much more recognition. They are the best thing to come into the metal scene for years. This song does not disappoint either. Loved it!
If you haven't Heard Soilwork lead singer Bjorn side project Night Flight Orchestra You should give them a listen it's a mix of 70s 80s Hard rock & Retro 80s
I've been patiently waiting for new Ghost, and I am NOT disappointed whatsoever!! The first listen I was like "WTF is this"? But by the third time I'm like "F*** YES"!!!!! I love it!! The Halloween references are always welcomed as well!!
@@Syrinx-Q no ghost has existed for many years their debut ep Seven Inches of Satanic Panic released in 1969 with the songs kiss the go-goat and Mary on a cross
How awesome is it that, 40 years and more later, Tobias takes the original theme of Halloween written in just a few days by John Carpenter and makes it sound even creepier... I have absolutely no words on how this guy makes everything he touches sound like the classic and yet gives a new twist to it
@@PippoFrancoPippo really? I'm pretty sure i hear the same repetitive notes in the chorus, the electric guitar part. Maybe not the same thing but it certainly reminds me of the original
The old writers from meliora are gone. they sued tobias for not paying them equally All the ghouls you see now are imposters. They were the talent and Tobias focuses too much on his voice in these songs. He has a good voice, but the lyrics used to mean so much more and the deliverance of the lyrics with the band’s talent was undoubtedly better than these new guys. He shoulda just paid his Swedish bois some more money. The band would still kick ass like in meliora. Maybe he’s not focusing on his voice so much as the band can’t keep up. Go listen to meliora if you haven’t. They disabled comments on those songs most likely bc the fans noticed the change and saw the lawsuit.
Freddy Krueger has dream warriors by dokken, Jason Voorhees has "he's back" from alice cooper and now Michael Myers finally has his own song by Ghost, it was really necessary.
@@spaceinvader8791 Yeah, and that means nothing. Dream Warriors was literally about a specific character, designed for the film. This isn't, and wasn't. They're not the same concept at all.
@@grabble7605 yes this song was. Sure, it's not like Man behind the mask or Dream Warriors because the video/lyrics aren't beating you over the skull but there's clearly things in the lyrics that illude to it being made for Halloween. Not to mention the fact it was released in direct correlation to Halloween Kills. Even the instrumental after the chorus sounds suspiciously like the Halloween theme.
I've just added this to my running playlist. Not only because it's a good song, but I think that imagining Michael Myers behind me with a knife will probably make run way faster!
People that use the Scooby doo thing as a negative towards Ghost are not to be trusted, I will never understand why that would be a bad thing. Scooby doo kicks ass just as much as Ghost
@@MachineGunStudioProd exactly. I like the scooby do aspect. Papa always reminded me of a cartoon villain like Skeletor from He-Man. People act like that’s an insult but I think it’s a perfect description
@@CiroErez Their newer stuff is much better than their earlier stuff albeit a little ballad heavy. The fact they have a larger fan base now says you are wrong to think otherwise.

For every ghost song ever
Yeah it’s phenomenal. I’m on my second time right now and I have chills man
it's just keeps on getting better every listen!
True story
I feel like that’s where I’m at with this song lol
Damn, Tobias really woke up and said "Imma do ABBA but with some sick metal riffs".
The mash up I never knew I needed.
well, they've done exactly that with Dance Macabre before haha
Marionette
Hmm, makes sense. I always felt Ghost sounded like the Therion cover of Summernight city from ABBA.
Have you heard Church of the Cosmic Skull? They put the ABBA in Black sABBAth.
Tobias seriously loves ABBA. He's said so. That sick bastard. XD

It is now October, and whenever I look outside at night and see the moon I am like: "IT'S A HUNTER'S MOON!"

Great song, so excited for the new album... Tobias is definitely a genius making his songs... I really hope to see a movie about the ghost lore someday!
I love the almost "nostalgic" theme this new song brings with it. I'm happy with this fusion of Meliora/Infestisumam era with Prequelle era. Ghost. 🤘🤘
A lot of 80s pop influence is fueling that nostalgia I think.
Right?! It has that MCC groove all over it.
I also like the classic rock (mid 70's to early 80's) nostalgic sound that is in almost all their music. The Foo Fighters and Nirvana had a bit of that early retro-rock sound too.
it brings me to the time where Black Sabbath was around. truly glorious for Ghost BC to remind us of the good old days where music can be a passion
More like dance macabre
Though my memories have faded they come back to haunt me once again.
When I’m shopping at the supermarket I’m singing those lyrics out loud and I think people want to have me committed.
Brilliant lyrics and superb video
I've probably listened to this about 50 times. Respect to the producers and audio engineers.... Holy shit. 🙌
Oh you like it? You enjoy it? You think it's a good song?
Absolutamente hermosa canción, Tobías eres genial....
Listening with a good pair of headphones and the space created in this song feels like a living world around you
Agree, I am listening to It with my Marshall headphones and It's great.
This fits perfectly with Halloween Kills. This is now my favorite Ghost song.
Listen to their older stuff, it's much better.
No, it doesn't. Because the film is awful.
@@Dirkschneider you know, everyone has different opinions, but that don’t mean you have to be a bit aggressive about it. Can share your opinion, but try to be nicer? “In my opinion, the song doesn’t fit as I thought the film wasn’t that good, but glad to hear another’s opinion!” or something like that?
@@therockfathergames Why? Did you direct the film?
@@Dirkschneider somebody’s mad💀
Was disappointed at first. But can't get this song out of my head now and love it, can't wait for full album!
No album it’s just a single saddly for the movie Pappa IV is still coming
@@controversialhour1574 what movie is this for if i may ask?
@@rinwie1967 Halloween Kills
Even as a fan boy I was feeling very "meh" at first but after several listens I'm definitely digging it. The reverb on those drum fills is sexy and the guitar work of picking out the notes in the chorus brings a deeper beauty to the song than if they just played chords. The main guitar riff is cool and "off time" which I dig.
The only criminal part of this song is at 2:24 when the ghouls were gearing up for what could've been a dark, nasty solo and the song goes back to vocals without ever busting that nut. Tragic but overall good tune.
Hmm i'm still stuck at the Meh part, waiting for the full album though before i judge.
@@Zoggest oh I fully admit that if I wasn't already a fan from the opus eponymous days I and was just now introduced to them via this song...I don't think I'd have climbed on the train
I like that part a lot. I wish I knew what they were chanting.
Personally I really like this one. Love the chorus riff. Excited for the album.
@@AntonioZL the chorus is definitely catchy
Since this song is for a movie and it's this good, I'm even more excited for the new album, they never disappoint
what movie?

@@deniz_sanli halloween kills, i think it also says so in the description
@@deniz_sanli Halloween Kills
According to tracklist on 7 inch LP,
Tracklisting:
Side A: Hunter's Moon
Side B: Hunter's Moon (Film Version)
I think one version is going ti be an 'album version'.
Hunter's Moon is my 2 year old's favorite song by ghost. The moment I told her I was listening to "Papa Emeritus" sing, she giggled and loved it. Spillways was both of our introductions to Ghost, but Hunter's Moon has been requested more in the last year+ by her than anything else!
I love this, it feels like a mix of Infestissuman and Prequelle, it's fresh and funky, but also familiar, just classic Ghost
It doesn't sound exactly like anything else they've done but it definitely sounds like Ghost. I like it!
@@Wizard4169 It sounds to me like Meliora
@@jsmythe5981 Meliora is pretty much my favorite Ghost album, so that's all to the good.
@@Wizard4169 I don't think I have a fav album. But the least I like are are since popestar, hope the next one is better
This song is like the son of 'Crazy Train' and ABBA, but still a very fresh Ghost song .
AYO NICE PROFILE PICTURE
Nothing like Crazy Train!........it sounds like two different songs and one of them sucks!
Well, there's always been something ABBA about Ghost in the songwriting.
This song is the most mediocre Nickleback effort I've heard from this band. Its Halloween Kills not Halloween Sleeps.
@@thegoldenorder1240 Hey, that's not fair to Nickelback.
I can't wait to hear the rest of the album!!!🖤🖤🖤🖤
This song won't be on the album, its a single and a separate project he announced last year. But still, album is going to be amazing.
@@lehtokurppa7824 Oh fascinating, I wonder what the sound for the album is going to be if not similar to this one!
@@jerzu9728 From the same interviews from a year or so ago Tobias said that it will be as heavy as Meliora but in a different way, it will be more riff based and won't have ballads like Life Eternal. Return to roots maybe?
@@jerzu9728 Tobias said it would be a little more black metal influence. So, I'm pretty excited for that
@@jerzu9728 Is there a name already?
This: 0:45 is a straight up ABBA. It's more the rhythm of the vocals than anything.
Jason has "He's Back"
Freddy has "Dream Warriors"
Michael finally got one of his own 🤘 and it's the perfect band to do it.
Love it!
Indeed! 🎃🤘
Don't forget Pinhead has Motörheads Hellraiser!
Anyone else suddenly want Ghost to make their own slasher movie now?
Of course yes,
Definitely need this. Anything would be better that Cradle of Filth's film forays, haha
I want to see a Scooby-doo chapter.
Yessss and you just know it’ll have a weird sense of humor about it too
Tobias has mentioned it in the past. He just doesn't seem to want it to involve Ghost directly, storywise at least.
One of my best friends died last year in a car crash, he was 18 and we shared a love for Ghost. But when he died, I somewhat grew apart from Ghost because it felt wrong listening to them without him. He would’ve loved this for sure.
And today I was told my cousin will have to be taken off of his life support, he was more like a brother to me and this song just resonated with me. Brought me comfort. I know you probably won’t see this but if by chance you do, thank you Tobias and co.
My sympathy to you my fellow Ghost fan. Stay strong. 😟
❤️
@Kane Allen Both of them have life eternal, so my sympathy to you, brother.
@@thedarkboy676 thanks man
@@kaneallen8288 Np of course ^^
The production on this is amazing, the guitars are chrisp and decisive, the drumming is the best I have ever heard this drummer is amazing. Would love to know his background. His cymbal work is to be noticed!. Major Kudos to the group!!! This is yet to be played on the radio stations. WTF It's a hit! Watcher in the sky will also be number 1 if the stations play it. and Griftwood is also as good. Indeed the best album released since Boston 1 with so many hits. Thank You Tobias for putting this amazing group together! BTW your re-recording of Spillways with Joe Elliot from Def Leppard was Genius, we appreciate your visionary success!
It was so cool to follow the live stream for 3 days and wait hopefully for the new snippets. To write with all the other fans and now listen to this masterpiece! Thanks very much! I love it!
Nothing beats new Ghost tracks. This band is the Led Zep of our time. Beyond epic and always original. Can't wait for the new album! Papa IV is going to kick ass!
They are such a breath of fresh air. So original AND interesting. And the music is AEWSOME! So glad a friend turned me onto them a few years ago.
They are better than Zeppelin if you ask me.
@@patepulkkinenvtec2403 Ghost is simply Iron Maiden of their generation :)
Honestly reminds me more of Blue Oyster Cult, with their wider range of styles. Led Zeppelin had more of a fondness for Epic Ballads.
I think of Tobias Forge almost as a rocker version of Trent Reznor at his best - he's the guy who writes everything, plays a whole hell of a lot of the instruments on the albums, and arranges all the outside musicians, hires touring bands, directs the whole show... and is fucking amazing at what he does. Love him or hate him, he's a hell of a musician!
I can't wait to see Ghost again next year
A few years ago I was telling people "Watch this band. They're on the way up". It's good to see that I wasn't let down.
This song has been stuck in my head for days. It is amazing. The vocals are amazing. I liked the almost amateur-ish approach to music before but this is professional music. Papa Emeritus IV will be the greatest Papa of all. Thank you Sister Imperator for your wonderful guidance. You have done well in choice, Sister.
This is amazing. Perfect! Drums, bass, quitars, the singing..You made my day! Much, much love from Finland🇫🇮💓💓💓
On kiva nähdä paljon suomalaisia kommenteissa kun me ollaan juuri herätty ja muut maat nukkuu
@@Memu_ No jep!😁
Tobias did it once again: Another excellent composition but for a movie score this time. I always knew he'd be the perfect fit to compose a song for one of these horror flicks! This is just brilliantly executed. If you listen close you can hear there are subtle hints to Carpenter's original 1978 soundtrack.
The cool thing about this song is that its essence, if you will, is revealed in the first half minute, ergo it must be the credit score playing at the end of the upcoming movie. You can hear Tobias really put some thought into this, revealing its "hooks" really early on to capture an audience that's already on the edge of their seat from an undoubtedly tense end scene of this movie.
Really nicely done, once again! I wonder if he also did some of the rest of the soundtrack for the movie, because those horrifying synths and choirs would be perfect! His father was into film production and I know that this is what Tobias always wanted to do as well. I hope he will continue living his dream and make more productions like this, because it suits him perfectly!
Can't wait for the new album to be released!
I'm waiting for a musical!
Duuude I hope he did and gets nominated for an Oscar!
Yea when I heard the guitar lead tease the Halloween theme I got a little bit of chills. Well done.
Alice Cooper did "He's Back (The Man Behind The Mask)" for Friday The 13th Part IV, and Tobias sounds like him here.
@@ChrisPage68 Yeah, I can hear some Alice here! Good call!
Now that the hype over a new Ghost song has ended, I think it's time we can really appreciate how good this is. The lyrics telling a story of something of a melancholic nastalgia (while feeling completely distinct from Zombie Queen, which is about the same thing) and the rock n' roll tune that feels both spooky and inviting come together to make this peice of pure art... Though my memories are faded, I'm listening to the song again.
Michaels mask can be seen at 3:07 and also Halloween kills starts playing at the end…This is michaels theme…Finally we have a theme for Michael the same way dream warriors is for Freddy and the man behind the mask is for Jason.
I am totally getting a Dokken vibe at the very beginning that made me think of Dream Warriors.
Absolutely love Ghost's style. It was only a little over a year ago that I first even heard of them and I've been hooked since. And so perfect for the new Halloween movie coming out.
Same here. My first song I heard was Mary On a Cross. I had no idea they sounded like that and I’ve been hooked since.
Glad to see a new song! Falls in line with the love of horror movies. There have been a few bangers floating around (like the sympathy for the devil cover with the hellacopters). Guess Tobias is pushing for some exposure, can't wait for the next album! :D
It has intoxicated me so much I keep playing it over and over and over again it's mesmerizing it's addictive ,the whole album is...... words are just..... I loved this band from the beginning for me this is the best album of the year.
it’s 6am here in sweden and i just woke up for school, this is my pay off 😩
Good luck there my fren!

Halloween AND ghost!…didnt think my love for this band could get any stronger….halloween is definitely going to sell out in theaters now!
Sounds like Zenith. More please.

Yep the piano accompaniment, bridge and choir gave me same vibe
Nema.
This song is so AWESOME! I love how I can really feel the message of the song. Good job Ghost, hope to see you all soon!
0:51 That little instrumental part is everything.
This band deserves so much more recognition. They are the best thing to come into the metal scene for years. This song does not disappoint either. Loved it!

This is Ghost, great mixture of the old and new sound, bit like secular haze meets square hammer without being to similar. Awesome🤘
Fun fact: John Carpenter wanted ghost for the original Halloween, but Papa Nihil was already too big so they couldn’t afford to license the music.

3:23 it'd listen to that outro on repeat for the rest of my life
How awesome is it that, 40 years and more later, Tobias takes the original theme of Halloween written in just a few days by John Carpenter and makes it sound even creepier... I have absolutely no words on how this guy makes everything he touches sound like the classic and yet gives a new twist to it
What? I don't think this song has any reference to the original theme
@@PippoFrancoPippo really? I'm pretty sure i hear the same repetitive notes in the chorus, the electric guitar part. Maybe not the same thing but it certainly reminds me of the original
Not the same music at all...
I know what you're saying. Its reminiscent, although very subtly, to the Halloween theme!
@@crypticreality8484 yes! This! It's subtle but it still brings you back to the original
Ghost just knows how to write great songs. They simply have “it.” They’re the best band in the world.
wouldnt say the best but they're good
The old writers from meliora are gone. they sued tobias for not paying them equally All the ghouls you see now are imposters. They were the talent and Tobias focuses too much on his voice in these songs. He has a good voice, but the lyrics used to mean so much more and the deliverance of the lyrics with the band’s talent was undoubtedly better than these new guys. He shoulda just paid his Swedish bois some more money. The band would still kick ass like in meliora. Maybe he’s not focusing on his voice so much as the band can’t keep up. Go listen to meliora if you haven’t. They disabled comments on those songs most likely bc the fans noticed the change and saw the lawsuit.
Spread the word about Tobias money milker
@@garitcarijean5612 Not sure if serious or stupid. Tobias IS Ghost...

That's...Not Michael Myers...Or his music...
Pinhead Is Motorhead
@@grabble7605 this was in the credits for Halloween Kills.
@@spaceinvader8791 Yeah, and that means nothing. Dream Warriors was literally about a specific character, designed for the film. This isn't, and wasn't. They're not the same concept at all.
@@grabble7605 yes this song was. Sure, it's not like Man behind the mask or Dream Warriors because the video/lyrics aren't beating you over the skull but there's clearly things in the lyrics that illude to it being made for Halloween. Not to mention the fact it was released in direct correlation to Halloween Kills. Even the instrumental after the chorus sounds suspiciously like the Halloween theme.
I've just added this to my running playlist. Not only because it's a good song, but I think that imagining Michael Myers behind me with a knife will probably make run way faster!
This was literally stuck in my head while I was sleeping last night. Well done, Ghost, well done...
It was in my head when I woke up two days in a row after this dropped.
I heard this song described as “Scooby-Doo metal” and now I want to see a Scooby-Doo/Ghost crossover more than I’ve wanted anything else in my life.
People that use the Scooby doo thing as a negative towards Ghost are not to be trusted, I will never understand why that would be a bad thing. Scooby doo kicks ass just as much as Ghost
Have you seen the “Night of the Witch” feat. Ghost & Scooby Doo? It is well put together 🙌🏼 🎶 I am serious check it out! And yes Scooby Doo rocks!
I saw somewhere once that Ghost's music described as "Scooby-Doo Chase Music" and I've never not thought about it when listening to them 😂
