If you played backwards its a song about jesus

“We think everyone is bad” this is why Ghost is so popular. A lot of folks are disillusioned with religion and recovering from the programmed self-shame. The best ghost line is from Cirice, “I know your soul is not tainted, even though you’ve been told so.”

Tobias Forge has said in an interview that there’s an importance in distinguishing biblical Satan and pop cultural Satan. Pop cultural Satan being a symbol for rebellion and independence.

As a huge fan of Christmas, you can imagine my shock when I learned they weren't chanting "Hail Santa."

As an atheist this is pure fun.

Their faces, when he sang "Hail Satan" were priceless lmao

I am Christian and I love this song, it's more about humanity than Satan or satanism, also the music itself is incredible.

This song was made for live performances.. If you ever get to go to a Ghost concert, Year Zero is what you will have to look forward to. It's amazing how they perform it.

When I first saw Tobias Forge as a corpse painted pope, I got excited. I knew it was going to piss a lot of people off. I was not disappointed.

It's funny watching people feel uncomfortable about pretend things.

The "am I beeing cursed?" faces are priceless

I’m a Christian...I love Ghost...seen them twice. Best described as Rosemary’s Baby on Broadway.

BELIAL...BEHEMOTH...BEELZEBUB... ASMODEUS...SATANAS...LUCIFER... Best goddamned intro ever.

As a Swede, we chill to this during children's birthday parties in my family and we all good. (I was surprised though the first time, haha)

I really respect you guys for not interrupting the song at all, and letting the band say what they had to say, before you added your thoughts and opinions. Just shows that you guys have respect, and are also educated (based on your discussion after the song) for other people’s sayings even though they’re completely opposite to your own beliefs.

His triggered reactions give me joy. Thank you.

Sori wanted to groove to the music but the lyrics kept her from doing it lmao

Actually... James Hetfield love Ghost, so it's Metallica monday

Ghost: Hail Satan! Them: 😯😯😯

This song is one of those that just gets better every time you hear it

came here for ghost, stayed for biblical interpretation of dinosaurs :)

This song is a masterpiece. 😘

i remember reading an article where the lead singer Tobias Forge, said it's not to be taken seriously. he compared his music to being the equivalent of horror movies. he said that each song is basically a story, a horror movie made into a song. I've watched a lot of horror movies, especially 70s and 80s and sometimes some of those songs do remind me of some of those early horror movies. their earlier music videos were shot in ways that made them look like something out of those old films.

their faces of suffering make me feel happy

I am not a Satanist, i don't care if they are, i like the songs and the message representing evil as something that's not necessarily negative, but im an atheist and i don't believe in the devil so this is purely metaphorical to me

1. No, the video is not official. 2. This was funny to watch.

I come back to this video every time I need a reason to laugh. Because their reactions are so incredibly hilarious

Only Ghost would start a song that greets you with "Beelzebub" lol

"However, the band has said several times their image is all tongue-in-cheek, citing that "We have no militant agenda. We are an entertainment group."

For copyright reasons they had to call themselves Ghost B.C. for a while in the US, it just stood for "Because Copyright".

I love his reaction to the hail Satan part 😂

This is the best band to see live. Just pure fun and amazingness on stage. CC brings it all and gotta say I loved every moment.

Nothing beats yelling out "Hail Satan" when singing this song out loud.

I think the reason we Christians have trouble with this music or feel uncomfortable about the lyrics is because we have trouble distinguishing the difference between the two devils. Like Tobias said they are not satanic in the sense of praising someone downstairs but he is taking on the persona of the satanic metal that came before him. In my mind there are two devils: the real one and the one that is a dark theme that we love so much in metal music. We just need to learn to understand they are different. Ghost is my favorite band even if we are Christian, we can definitely still listen to them and enjoy them, you'd be missing out if you didn't.

"When they said all the names of satan" Like...none of them was satan exept satanas 🤣

Intro is amazing. This song is heavy af. Simply from a musical perspective how can you not like this song?...

their faces after "Hail satan" was the best xDDDD p.d. Hail Satan

Since I discovered your channel... I've been waiting for this. Especially with Sori's previous praise of Ghost. Thanks... keep up the honesty, love you guys.

You guys are pure gold How nice to see you be so cool with the interpretations And also the part of the Names being called and how it's not all the same I thought yeah they're chill but I didn't expect you to be that easygoing and cute 💚

As a christian, I heard of ghost and thought they were cool and decided to start in Opus Eponymous all the way to the recent albums. And when I was at the Infestissumam I had the same reaction as them. But now I vibe and fw with ghost because they're an amazing band.

I saw them in concert last night. As far as I know, they are not Satanists in the biblical sense. More of the propaganda cultural sense. The main singer himself is quoted stating that he is not believer in God or satan, but he does want to believe in something. I think they are a great band and I am now a huge fan. After being in a Christian Cult for 13 years, to find a band that helps me get a polite "Fuck you" across to a religion that brainwashed and mentally abused me for so long, it was a breath of fresh air. Being able to Yell "HAIL SATAN" with a 1,000 people was such a euphoric and liberating feeling. Not because I am a satanist, but because it was saying "I'm free and you can't control me anymore".

I think the reason Ghost fans such as myself make a point of saying it's not serious, is because we know it's a stage act, but it's also an escape from every day life, like a good thriller/horror movie. It let's you live vicariously through the music, and then you can go back to your every day life, having convinced yourself it's an act, and thus you're not a satanist. Some people are Satanists and use this music as celebratory, but for the most part it's just another form of rebelion selling well in music. And in this case, it's the ultimate rebellion. It's the Devil. Also though, it really is just a really well done stage act. The band goes home and lives normal lives from what I know. They're just incredible writers and put on an amazing stage show. Like Gwar, but with more talent and a Vision. A central focal point.

Interesting to hear your take on the song, especially your interpretations of the lyrics. As an agnostic, and a huge Ghost fan, I'm glad you gave it a listen.

I was raised Catholic. We went to church every Sunday I went to private school all my life and I absolutely positively LOVE Ghost!!

Well, I disagree. Year Zero is one amazing song, and is one of Ghost's best songs and from one of their best albums, Infestissumam. I love this song, and I really get into it when done live! I think one of the reasons that a song like Year Zero gets a bad wrap from non-Ghost critics, or very casual Ghost fans is, unlike so many of Ghost's songs, which are very subtle in their approach to the subject matter, and can even sound like "normal" rock songs, Year Zero is IN YOUR FACE Satanic Praising at it's best! Nothing held back, nothing subtle about the lyrics or the subject matter of Year Zero! And THAT is why I personally, a MASSIVE Ghost fanatic, absolutely LOVE Year Zero and will play it any time I can in my car with the windows down for all to hear!!! If you have Ghost, you have everything! All Hail Ghost!

I just discovered you guys a few days ago..... And now I'm a huge fan. Sori is adorable!!!!!!

As both a Christian and a Ghost fan, I loved this

You guys are hilarious! Job chillin in his tent with a brontosaurus walking by!! 🤣😂 it’s always fun listening to Vin explain the Bible in terms I can grasp. I’m not a pledged Christian but I love to learn and hear about every system of belief.

The reason Ghost had the B.C. added to their name was due to legal issues in the US. There was another band in the US that had claims to the name Ghost. Therefore they added B.C. to the name when they toured the States.

They should see them play this live, with a thousand people in unison going "HAIL SATAN!" :3

I could watch this all day

I love the video and I really respect ppl who are able to look at things from a different perspective, especially if those contradicts their own believes and opinions. Great content as well

This was the funniest thing I've seen for a while. Your poor reactions were priceless, keep up the vids.

This is a band that is best experienced LIVE! Thank you Tobias for bringing the experience to Laval. Best live show in my 50 years...and the best smelling!

Sori's school book told her that humans and dinosaurs existed at the same time?! WTF?

Lol, I looked up reaction videos for this for a laugh this morning because I knew it would make people uncomfortable (as an atheist, it STILL made me go "Yo, what the f*ck?"). I actually like these guys and am interested in their perspective, so I was like "Ooo! This ought to be interesting!" I was not disappointed. I LOVE learning about mythology, including that of Christianity, so I love hearing these little tidbits of information and perspective that you can only get from someone deep into the religion.

Next Ghost song should either be Faith from the new album or a more classic one Con Clavi Con Dio.(this one has solid musical aspect)

'Year Zero' is good driving music. I like the beat.

Such an Epic song. Tongue in cheek or not, they sure as hell put this stuff together !

I think Sori nailed it with her first impression of the chanting parts - the aliases of the devil. I get that not all those names are truly synonymous with the devil, but so many of the masses will hear it that way. Blame pop culture, or “ lazy Christians” if you want, but people aren’t necessarily going to google each name, they’ll just jam this song.

16:34 Can I just say "behemoth" literally means hippopotamus in Russian

The problem was, they're caught up with their religion and can't see music. Which isn't a problem persay but is a shame. I saw the same thing happen to Christian bands too. But Year Zero is one of the catchiest songs so her to say it was meh is humorous to me.

I love this reaction so much, especially the religious debates. You are the first that I've seen who actually differentiate between the devil and the princes of hell/principalities of sin. This song is so much more about embracing humanity and acknowledging the principalities of human nature as opposed to attempting to convert others to satanism, but yes many people do associate them with being a satanist recruitment group, however a lot of their lyrics are very much cynical in nature and more about calling out religious organizations as a whole as opposed to tearing them down.

I'm a real Satanist. I'd like to applaud your generally positive & open attitude, which is not the considered stereotypical norm when it comes to Christians addressing subject matter of this nature. Your biblical knowledge is magnificent, beyond what I see from most Christians, and I was particularly impressed with your recognition of the non-biblical origins of those various entities and differing usage of 'Lucifer' in various editions. As others in these comments have stated, the song is more about humanity than "the devil". As with all Romantic Satanism and iterations of Literary Satan, any relation to biblical Satan is a poetic mask for fair & just deconstruction of arbitrary & tyrannical authority. As such, I'd like you to consider that what comes across as "genocide" on the surface is actually not about the fall of man, but rather the fall of The Reign of man. ie.. overly authoritarian structures & "the patriarchy". Moving without eyes means not "awake". Robotically following norms, traditions, rituals & orders without awareness of purpose, agenda or ramifications. Moving along with the herd, so to speak. It's not about things going on in the spiritual realm that you don't see. It's about things going on in the political realm that you don't see. Satanists aren't going to talk about the spiritual in any literal sense, because we only believe in the material. I'm not a LaVeyan Satanist, but Anton LaVey declared Year Zero in 1966 to mark the official beginning of the rise of Satanism.

Your faces the first time he said hail satan 😂😂😂

Ghost - Deus in Absentia. Is a great song for you to review

Love the way she was digging it but trying so hard to stay still 😂🤟

Although we're on different sides of the pearly gates, listening to you two talk makes me feel calm and eases my anxiety. Definitely hitting the subscribe button

I like how you come into these songs with open minds while also offering some interesting view points.

"Hell Satan" also means "Hail Satan" in liturgical Swedish. One can tell they are speaking Swedish in that line by how they pronounce Satan (more like "Sahtahn" than the English "Saytn").

as someone who was raised christian, and is a christian (i think), ghost is top tier. i sing along to this song so often

Actually insightful. Really good

More Ghost! Once again you guys deliver, keep it up

*song finishes* *noticed there's another half hour* Shit.

I'm surprised you haven't burst into flames from listening to this

I love that you try to consume stuff out of the comfort zone

I wanna see them interview Tobias. That would be the most interesting video ever

Vin's reaction to the thought of there being a Brontosaurus walking around during biblical times is priceless.

Had a blast watching the facial expressions.

As a catholic I LOVE GHOST AND THIS SONG

I really like how you listen to your fans and pick music they ask. I’ve been on a ghost kick for about 2 months since i discovered them.

I work with a Satanist and to be honest he is one of the most decent human beings I have ever met! will literally give you the shirt off his back type person!

Crestfallen kings and queens comforting in their faith , unbeknownst to them is the presence of the wraith... e.e

Fantastic info on the song

Hi from Brazil. It's the very first time I'm seeing this channel. I'm atheist, I'm a Ghost fan and.... I loved this video, seriously. You guys definitely knows what you're talking about. It's the first time I actually see Christians discussing these "dark" subjects and not criticizing at all Excellent video! Peace!

Actually, "Hell Satan" is simply old Swedish

I'm a Christian and I absolutely love Ghost. It's on my bucketlist to see them live one day.

Tbh, I didn't love Year Zero the first time I heard it, but it kinda grew on me after I listened to the album all the way through several times.

Hey Vin and Sori. Been following you for a while, first time commenting. I think. Anyway, thank you for this channel and your content. I love the honesty and intelligence you put into your videos. So to answer your question, about why it's important for Ghost to be satire or fake; To me it's not important. I appreciate them musically and lyrically and absolutely love their thematic style. Whether it's real or not doesn't bother me. I love the music and the band. They are unique, talented, and really a band to watch. Hell, each of their Albums sound different. Each Album even has a "new" frontman to reflect these style changes. While not true concept albums they each have a over arching theme. It's something I have never personally seen in music before. Also, according to the lyric book I have with the "Infestissumam" album (Ghost's second album) the line is indeed, "Hail Satan." So, as a Ghost fan, I say you should check out their newest album, "Prequelle." As for a song to do in a video, "Life Eternal" is something I believe both of you could sink your teeth into and get something out of it.

As a Christian. I love Ghost. I see their music as a soundtrack to a occult horror film from the sixties or seventies. It doesn’t change my mind on anything. In fact, I think it’s an interesting point of view to see why someone would believe this. I respect them.

I am a Catholic and can enjoy Ghost music, videos and on stage shows. Its art and I absolutely love art. Actually I see that as mockery to Satan and don't take those satanic stuff serious. If someone does and sees that as some serious Satanism then it's their problem, not mine. I'm with Jesus

Props for listening to the whole tune before weighing in. Granted, it suits their style of reaction a little better since they're commenting mostly on the themes and meta concepts rather than specific musical elements. I still appreciate the format. for a reaction video. Makes it feel more like a podcast. Easier to listen to and digest.

O-peth! O-peth! O-peth! Opeth!!!! Please 😅

Per Aspera ad Inferi by Ghost. And my usual set: Therion - Ginnungagap, Wand of Abaris.

their faces during "hail satan" were gold

Man, this channel is growing on me. I respect Vin's educated analyses. He knows what he's talking about. People can learn something from what he says. At least I learned something in each video. He reminds me of my cram school teacher who is a Christian. She's very intellectual and kind and after every lesson, she would tell me some of the things she'd learned from the Bible, and I got to learn the beautiful side of theistic religions. I love her so much.

Tobias Forge (The pope/cardinal the vocalist, songwriter of Ghost) has been a part of many bands with many different genres including Death metal , very interesting career and human being FOSHO

ok... ive sat idly by for the last 2 weeks, trying to give you guys the benefit of the doubt and trust that you were going to fix it..... BUT GODDAMNIT PUT A NEW BATTERY IN THAT SMOKE DETECTOOOORRRRRRRRR!!! xD still love you guys though haha.

Ghost is so good. This was such a fun video.

5:19 THE EYEBROWRAISE AT THE SAME TIME I CANT
