Prequelle

Product Information

Following limitations were only disclosed by local retailers for their distinct country, limitations for the entire press were not confirmed by Spinefarm yet: March 31st 2018 saw the release of the Chapter One: New Blood video with Sister Imperator informing Papa Nihil (formerly Papa Emeritus Zero) that it was time for new blood to lead Ghost. Songs featured are Ashes, Faithand Pro Memoria. The note that Papa Nihil attempts to play on the saxophone (he gets it a little wrong due to his health) seems to be the same note that the Lazy Town song We Are Number One begins with, something we parodied on our YouTube channel. We Are Number One was a huge meme in late 2016 and 2017 as fans raised money for actor Stefan Karl Steffanson to help with his battle with cancer. Clear/Red swirl (Limited, 300 copies in Germany, total could be more) available from kingsroadmerch.com [SOLD OUT?], jbhifi.com, velvetmusic.nl Life Eternal is about how everything comes to an end, or does it? We believe death to be the end but if there’s an afterlife then there is no end and that means that a commitment would be eternal, so would you be willing to commit to being the same person forever? Life Eternal Lyrics Therefore it’s now largely accepted that the first rider is Pestilence, the second is War, the third Famine and the last, Death with their powers to kill by sword (War), famine (Famine), plague and the wild beasts of the earth (Pestilence) with Death overseeing them and reaping the souls for Hell/Hades as none killed by the Horsemen would go to heaven.

When the Lamb opened the second seal, I heard the second living creature say, “Come and see!” Then another horse came out, a fiery red one. Its rider was given power to take peace from the earth and to make men slay each other. To him was given a large sword. ( Revelation 6:3-4) Washed the LP with an Okki Nokki machine before playing it, there is no noise, not even a pop, the LP is flat and centered.

At the September 30th 2017 gig in Gothenburg Papa Emeritus III is dragged from the stage by suit clad men and a previously unseen Papa takes the stage, introducing himself to the crowd in Italian, “I am Papa Emeritus Zero. The party is over and now a new era begins. The Middle Ages begin now.” 1 The Ghost version was done in the style of Killing Joke 9 and ironically, for a band that uses a lot of Latin, omits the Latin spoken passage at the end of the song. It’s a Sin Lyrics If you’re looking for a nice pressing of this album, you can’t go wrong here- no pops/hisses/noise and a very punchy sound on my copy. There are so many problems with that pressing that I feel it could be worth something at some point! hahaha! Faith seems to be a song written from the perspective of the Devil watching people die while they are unwilling to turn to him for safety. It also seems to be a thinly veiled message to the former Ghouls of Ghost. Faith Lyrics

Prequelleis finally upon us and this will be the first Ghost Ultimate Guide. As with all Ghost articles on Gear4Geeks, we attempt to preserve the mystique of the band where possible though there will be references to behind the scenes details because of their influence on the album and due to the man behind Ghost now going by his real name in interviews. Citations are as follows: anything hyperlinked should be safe from spoilers whereas anything that includes band member identities or pictures of them unmasked will have a footnote citation. There are mega spoilers, even for hardcore fans included at the very end of the footnotes. I’ve made every effort for the guide to remain free of serious spoilers but external links are beyond my control and could change or feature spoiler comments so please use your discretion. Discussion of the people behind the masks and the music projects of ex members can be found in the Ghost Uncensored Facebook group. On March 2nd 2017 a former Nameless Ghoul unmasks himself in a video to promote his current musical project. While bands touring with Ghost had to sign non-disclosure agreements promising not to reveal the identities of band members, members of Ghost never had to do so. The unmasking confirms many rumours that have circulated regarding who is in Ghost. https://www.revolvermag.com/music/ghost-mastermind-tobias-forge-reports-studio-first-unmasked-us-interview albums have dealt with broad themes like impending doom (Opus Eponymous - 2010), the antichrist and the In addition to breaking tradition with the cover, Ghost broke with the traditional Latin naming for the album by using the French word for Prequel but the biggest change was the band itself.

I watched as the Lamb opened the first of the seven seals. Then I heard one of the four living creatures say in a voice like thunder, “Come and see!” I looked, and there before me was a white horse! Its rider held a bow, and he was given a crown, and he rode out as a conqueror bent on conquest. ( Revelation 6:1-2) Some of the piano sequences seem to be influenced by Andrew Lloyd Webber’s Jesus Christ Superstar musical, specifically the titular song which is also known as The Song of Judas. For those who aren’t musically inclined, it is easier to hear the similarity at the 3 minute mark when compared to Laibach’s cover of Jesus Christ Superstar as the piano arrangement is louder. Start from around 3:50 onwards.

It seems the various versions of the cover has been randomly distributed among the different versions of the release.

It is safe to say that the 21 months between Popestarand Prequelle were somewhat stressful for Ghost. There are some huge positives like another Grammi win, a tour with Iron Maiden and Square Hammer being played virtually everywhere from radio stations to football games but the negatives are equally big as the band suffers a huge schism in personnel. The video shows Cardinal Copia dancing while dead bodies are cleared away by workers in HazMat suits (although at the 1:35 mark they seem to have forgotten their gloves).

Helvetesfönster translates from Swedish as ‘Hell Window’ and was a style of dress during The Middle Ages which was square cut and revealed a side view of a woman’s breasts. It is the second instrumental on Prequelle. To confuse matters even more, the song Witch Image refers to ‘a pale white horse’ but the pale horse is actually described as being pale Green in translations of The Bible which include that horse’s colour.
