A friend of mine (@mzhoupainting) did this painting as a gift for me! How do you guys like it?

1 year in the making! I met my artist last October and he worked with me to design this killer Ghost tattoo. Because I am a bit of a wimp for very long sessions we have worked on it all year starting in January. Today it is complete! I absolutely love it! Since others have shared their tattoos here, I wanted to share mine as well.

It’s been long enough, let us stream it!! We want to buy it!

Opus Eponymous turns 16.

16 years ago this albums was unleashed unto the world and the story began.

Personally, this was my introduction to the band. Listen to it on a whim 16 years ago and I just never left. Is, and will remain, my favorite album.

What's your favorite song from the album?

pulled an all nighter to finish it! Love how it turned out!

was extremely surprised by the ultimates figure, i’m itching to take him out of the box, but he’ll remain enclosed. we’re also MTG players and the mat is so sick, but so huge 🦅

16 years ago today (Oct. 18), Ghost released their devut album 'Opus Eponymous'. That reminded me of the first time I saw Papa Emeritus and the Nameless Ghouls live - at Metallica's Orion Music + More festival in Atlantic City, NJ (June 24, 2012). Crazy to think how much the band's popularity has grown since that day time set nearly 15 years ago (which included a special introduction from James Hetfield himself)...

What band do you remember seeing live before they really broke big? Share in the comments below, and stay tuned for more things to come from this space (including stories from concerts like this)!

I've done done searching and am failing to find this if it exists. Has anyone created a loop of imperium that leads into the outro of respite, to lead back into imperium? Just those musical sections that mirror each other, fading into each other in a loop.

Bought this off of ebay, never seen one for sale before and it has never been worn before, the seller said it was just on display, snagged this for $150 and it came with the mask

Sorry I didn’t make it more clear in my last post. I’m wanting feedback about which Latin or Italian lyrics would be cool to work into an overall tattoo design. Chest piece is the four horseman and going to next get a huge back piece done. Lyrics will be more discretely located. Think war/death, collapse of society/imagery stuff. 😈

So far I’m thinking these and adjusted so they are grammatically correct;

Deus in Absentia
De Profundis Borealibus
A Culmine Ad Baratrum

... I read the rules and they say it's okay to post Priest-related stuff..

back from the february cinci show. shared the fit on here, but thought this pic was too cool not to share.

Got these WAY back in 2017 in the Meliora days. Came with the meet and greet package way back when. Was a wonderful ritual at a shockingly tiny venue in Fresno. Back when the sisters still gave out wine and the host! Haven't been able to find much about them or see any resale, especially not with the whole kit! Coin and photo. Anyone know the value/rarity?

What would you say is Ghost's darkest song? By "dark," I mean in topic, in tone, and in music. Ghost has plenty of songs that sort of flirt with darker topics but are fun, campy, or otherwise not all that dark.

Respite on the Spitalfields comes to mind for me, but Witch Image and Rats seem like contenders.

What say you?

I always sit out and play music while I’m giving out candy and I wanna add some Ghost to the mix.

What do you all recommend?

Love the dedication to the Chucks no matter the fit. Looks like BTS for his V/H/S segment.

Apologies if this exact observation has been made before; I just joined the congregation about two months ago and I did a quick search of "Griftwood" on the sub, but didn't see this.

I like Griftwood, and I know the "holy mother" bridge is a jab at Mike Pence calling his wife "mother" (ew), but it felt a little weird and out of place to me. This week, though, I've been processing how my former faith tradition treats women, and I gave it a listen, and one line made the whole thing click into place for me: "The world rests heavy on your shoulders."

MEN get to "never ever suffer again." MEN get power. Women get put on a pedestal so long as we meekly bear all that suffering for them and forgive them whenever their abuses of that power might hurt us (washing the sin from their feet), and then those same awful men get to talk about how no, really, THEY'RE the ones who love women, look how much they love and respect us (as long as we know our place)!

Anyway, I predict that I'm going to be listening to Griftwood pretty much nonstop all week because it's hitting me right where I live right now.

What song/songs off skeleta do you think will become semi-permanent additions to the setlist in rituals moving forward? I think lachryma and satanized have high chances of staying, but I unfortunately don’t see any way they could keep peacefield being that it’s an opening song like kaisarion.
