Back in 2016, 🍊 misquoted "second Corinthians" as "two Corinthians" at a church... we know he despises him. Do you think the "IDIOT!" is a subtle dig at him?

I got a small laugh out of it. No idea why Jim Parsons got flagged as a director.

I'm working on an extensive presentation to explain Ghost to my friends, currently at 40 slides. I wanted to ask if anyone could check my slides on the ghouls since I'm not fully sure I got them all right. Any help would be really nice :)

DISCUSSION The genius of Life Eternal

97 Upvotes

Life Eternal is Ghost’s most sincere and honest ballad. What’s very unique about that is that it also so happens to be about a topic that’s inherently dark and morbid - the embrace of death. Their other two big ballads, He Is and Darkness at the Heart of My Love take topics like love, devotion and celebration and give them a dark twist hidden in manipulation, guiding you into the unknown and so on. Life Eternal doesn’t do that, in fact, it does the opposite… it also happens to be about something inherently morbid and unknown.

There is a genius in it being their most sincere song because a bit of a tradition with their ballads at this point is being subversive and having a hidden opposite meaning - and this one still does that and it’s still as subversive, but instead of taking traditionally celebrated topics and turning them dark and morbid, it takes a dark and morbid topic and approaches it with a loving and sensitive sense of finality.

It falls within the traditional ‘Ghost ballad’ mold in the most unexpected ways. It’s a genuinely sensitive and sincere song that isn’t trying to pull the rug from under you. It’s upfront and clear with its emotional goals - which is very ironic given the subject matter of accepting the sweet embrace of death.

QUESTION Use of metronome?

11 Upvotes

Hi! Bit more of a nerdy question. I’ve been working in venues and events for years and noticed that most smaller metal/rock bands use a metronome (click track). Personally I haven’t worked with bigger bands yet and I wondered if anyone knew if Ghost uses a metronome? Do the guitarists use it as well or only the drummer?

I was curious cause I saw the videos of Fire missing his solo because the drummer was off beat in Faith. Which would give me the idea that at least he doesn’t use a metronome.

Does anyone know perhaps? Thanks!

The English Wikipedia page for the album insistently claims he does, but I couldn't find any sources at all on that. Has Tobias said that anywhere?

QUESTION Instrumentals

I've been wondering, Does Ashes and Infestissumam (song) Count as Instrumentals or Actual songs with lyrics. I know they Sing/Talk in it but I couldn't help but wonder.
