This one will grow on you like mold on a funky bit of cheese 🧀used as bait in a rat trap.🐀☠ I hope you will also react to the video for this Ghost👻 classic!
Its been so fun to watch your journey in Ghost as a long-time Ghost fan, absolutely loved watching all your Ghost reactions over the past hour or two haha, I'd definitely recommend listening to watcher in the sky, twenties or imperium into kaisarion or even them all I LOVE them. Its more of their newer stuff and they look even better on live videos, especially kaisarion but I'd love to see a reaction to these next. Okok, this is getting long but the last song I'll recommend is respite on the Spitalfields, I think based on what you've liked so far that would definitely suit your music taste. 🙂
I actually had the same reaction as you to Rats and I kind of left that song out of my Ghost playlist. After going back to listen to the whole album again, I started to like that song a whole lot more. That ending....so good! Another great Ghosting!

RITE HERE RITE NOW Was released in 2023 following a music soundtrack. Many people thought it would be the end of Papa 4, but no. It was his mom Sister Imperator (head of the Clergy) who died. at the end of the movie, Papa is given a letter from Imperator saying that he was now the new head of the clergy, and he will now be known as Frater Imperator. (Still papa) And thats everything i known about Ghost and there lore. 😂
It does have an 80's feel. It sounds a lot like Ozzy Osbourne (not Black Sabbath). The "Bark at the Moon" and "Ultimate Sin" records. More typical Heavy Metal than we are used to from Ghost.
Prequelle (the album) is Ghost fourth studio album. The album is based on the theme of the black plague (rats spreading the disease) but as always it's so much more. It has a little nod to the previous Ghouls it's also about bullying and the new sort of social media always 24/7 available for threats and all that cones with it.
Haha, you're rapidly becoming my favourite reacter (reactor?? 💣), you always make me laugh. Anyway, there's quite a cool video that goes with this song. As someone mentioned already, the song *Faith* is a great one to follow. Both are on Prequelle, which is (supposedly) about the Black Death but is also about loads of other stuff. 'Rats' and especially 'Faith' are side-swipes at the musicians who took Tobias to court for more money. 'Faith' has a great video - the studio music set to concert footage (but it's not live) - look for 'Faith from A Pale Tour Named Death'. Another song from Prequelle that is _seriously_ addictive, but gets very little attention, is *Witch Image.* There's no video for that, though... Keep going!
It's kinda notable that this album and tour about the black plague came out before the plandemic of 2020. Where Tobias already said " we are taking 2020 off". What did he know??
The official video for Rats is divine! 😅
Please do the Live version of "If you have Ghosts" from Rite Here Rite Now movie. I think you will love him addressing the audience mid song.
The music video would have been nice, Tobias dancing is always a time.
She always listens to the studio version first. She will eventually react to the music video
A dancer doing almost all of the dancing though
They're still coming after you, and there's nothing you can do. Happy Friday!
“Leave my sanctum out of this” 😂 Square hammer this, Swuare hammer that… 😝
I feel ya, I live for that killer outro!
🔥🤘😜🔥
This one will grow on you like mold on a funky bit of cheese 🧀used as bait in a rat trap.🐀☠ I hope you will also react to the video for this Ghost👻 classic!
It's not in my top 10 either , but it's fine track for halloween month. It works. 🙂

Yeah, the outtro is great.
When you listen to the whole album start to finish it is a great opening track. Definitely sets the mood. Highly recommend a straight through listen.

And thats everything i known about Ghost and there lore. 😂
I recomment you the official video to 'rats'. It is really a piece of art.
It does have an 80's feel.
It sounds a lot like Ozzy Osbourne (not Black Sabbath). The "Bark at the Moon" and "Ultimate Sin" records.
More typical Heavy Metal than we are used to from Ghost.
Prequelle (the album) is Ghost fourth studio album. The album is based on the theme of the black plague (rats spreading the disease) but as always it's so much more. It has a little nod to the previous Ghouls it's also about bullying and the new sort of social media always 24/7 available for threats and all that cones with it.
Haha, you're rapidly becoming my favourite reacter (reactor?? 💣), you always make me laugh. Anyway, there's quite a cool video that goes with this song.

Another song from Prequelle that is _seriously_ addictive, but gets very little attention, is *Witch Image.* There's no video for that, though...
Keep going!
This is one where the music video helps complete the vibe. Hopefully you can check it out off channel, for fun
You need to watch the music video now for the visuals.
More Ghost!
"Everyday is Halloween" by Ministry and "Gallowdance" + "I love You" by Lebanon Hanover. You're welcome.
Pls do George Harrison - Art of Dying
Infestissumam!
It grows on you.
Not music video? 😔🤘🤘👻 next time do ”faith” that is not very 80s. From the same album.
Not my favorite, but this song is a grower.
I actually really didn’t like it at first. I like it now. Don’t love it. But I jam on it.
It's kinda notable that this album and tour about the black plague came out before the plandemic of 2020. Where Tobias already said " we are taking 2020 off". What did he know??
