Prime Mover

Song by Ghost

"**Prime Mover**" is a song by Swedish rock band Ghost. It is the eighth track from the group's debut studio psalm *Opus Eponymous*.

## Lyrics

Clad in cloak

A secretive nun

Bearing the old ones' bastard son

Varucose phallos

Obsessed and poised her

Cast a veil of dusk upon the cloister

Prime mover

Maternal slave

With child of her grave

Mother

Filth in her womb

Father

Waiting in tomb

Selected heir

Machinary insect

Bloodline of the dark architect

Toxic blood

Of not known birth

Antichrist will walk the earth

Prime mover

Maternal slave

With child of her grave

* Papa Emeritus I

Popestar

EP by Ghost

***Popestar*** is the second EP by the Swedish rock band Ghost. It consists mainly of covers and was produced by Tom Dalgety. The EP was released on 16 September 2016, by Loma Vista Recordings. The band began the Popestar Tour of North America following its release.

## Background and Recording

*Popestar* consists almost entirely of covers. Ghost chose unexpected songs that differed from their own musical style.

The only original track on the EP, "**Square Hammer**", was conceived at the end of the sessions for the band's *Meliora* album. Because the concept of the album was already in place and the song had a different feeling, the band decided not to include it on the album. "Square Hammer" was released as a single on 12 September 2016, prior to the EP.

## Reception

*Popestar* debuted at No. 1 on *Billboard*'s Top Rock Albums chart, becoming the first EP to reach the chart's top position. It sold 21,000 copies in its first week.

Square Hammer

Cover art for the CD single

"**Square Hammer**" is a song by the Swedish rock band Ghost. The track was released as the lead single from the group's second studio EP Popestar. The song peaked at No. 1 on the *Billboard* Mainstream Rock chart in January 2017, making the band the first Swedish band to top the chart. "Square Hammer" was one of the official theme songs for NXT TakeOver: San Antonio.

## Music Video

The camera travels through a green-lit city during a lightning storm. Papa Emeritus III takes a paper from a hawker. He reads about a Mysterious Spectre who has seized power. He also reads about his role in the first ever moving picture. The picture "Square Hammer" is set to premiere at the Meliora Grand that very night. He exits the limo and waves to his fans. He and his Nameless Ghouls enter the theatre. They greet fans and take their seats in the front row.

The silent film starts with a man holding a torch amidst a dark and stormy landscape, also during a lightning storm. He finds a tunnel. A portcullis raises, revealing Papa Emeritus III as a mysterious spectre. He conducts the man inside, showing him a stone coffin, which starts to open, revealing more lightning within. Back in the theatre, Papa Emeritus III appears surprised about this part and the projector starts to spark. In the film, a squared hammer surrounded by electric arcs is revealed. The intertitle refers to it as the "Square Hammer". The man picks it up as the mysterious spectre makes mystic passes. The Hammer glows and emits lightning, and the mysterious spectre's left eye glows.

Suddenly, the mysterious spectre puts his hand through the screen. It arcs with power. Papa Emeritus III sees it, but the others appear unconcerned. Then the mysterious spectre bows and becomes a cloud of bats, which chase everyone except Papa Emeritus III and the ghouls outside the theatre. An afterimage of the mysterious spectre glows blue on the screen.

Outside, the bats ascend into the night sky and congeal into a giant spectre, silhouetted against the full moon. Inside the theatre, the projector sparks even more violently and shows an image of a red Cardinal on top of a cross before the film melts. Papa Emeritus III has had enough and leaves. Outside, the blue image of the spectre glows against the sky. A spotlight passes over it and its left eye glows. Papa Emeritus III's left eye begins to glow before the cut.

## Vinyl

A limited edition square shaped 7" vinyl picture disc record was released as well. It was only available at the merchandise table exclusively for the Popestar Tour.

## Reception

MetalSucks gave the video a positive review. Metal Injection gave the song a positive review.

Loudwire named "Square Hammer" the best metal song of 2016 and awarded the video as Best Metal Video in their *6th Annual Loudwire Music Awards* in 2017, leading the vote with 39.27% over videos such as Avenged Sevenfold's "The Stage" and Slayer's "You Against You".

Nameless Ghoul (Phantom)

## Introduction

Phantom ghoul is the current Quintessence ghoul of Ghost. He plays rhythm guitar, and was first introduced at the start of the Re-Imperatour. He is often placed on the left side of the stage, playing the all black Hagstrom Fantomen.

## Personality

He likes to stand in front of Papa and play to disturb him. He also has a tendency to show off his guitar tricks and skills to the crowd, such as playing overhand. He also likes to get down on his knees for Dewdrop Ghoul. Phantom can be seen interacting with multiple different Ghouls, but mostly Nameless Ghoul (Rain/water) and Dewdrop/Sodo Ghoul.

## Trivia

* Phantom is portrayed by Randy Moore
* Phantom is the only ghoul we have heard talk while masked
Kaisarion

Song by Ghost

"**Kaisarion**" is a song by Swedish rock band Ghost. The second track from the group's fifth psalm *IMPERA*, it premiered live in Reno, Nevada on January 25, 2022.

## Background and Release

“There was a building called Caesareum in ancient Alexandria,” vocalist Tobias Forge explains to **Kerrang!** magazine. “Roughly what happened was that the teacher and philosopher, Hypatia, was murdered by Christians. She was molested and murdered inside the building, because of her pagan beliefs, because she was a believer in science and real things. This was in the beginning stages of Christianity, when it was just an insane cult, before it got the mandate of a book put together by Romans in 325 to harness that shit. This was like an underground group of terrorists, basically, who couldn't stand to see some female smartass preaching or telling people that the world wasn't flat. And it didn’t happen at the same time, but they also burned down the big library in Alexandria, which must have been an enormous, enormous loss for mankind in terms of knowledge and historic accounts. There you go – for the greater good.

“I think that’s a nice symbol for what you can see now,” he ponders. “You can see likenesses of it in public book burnings and stoning and killing everything that doesn't match with a sort of a flat Earth reality that some people live in. Or storming the Capitol and wanting to hang people. It's a symbol for those sorts of movements that are always targeting smartness and enlightenment, and thinking.”

* Papa Emeritus IV
* A Group of Nameless Ghouls

Secular Haze

Single by  Ghost

CD Single

**"Secular Haze"** is a song by Ghost. The track was released as the lead single to Infestissumam, the band's second studio album.

## Background and Release

The band created the SeclularHaze.com website on December 14, which contained a sound clip of a new song without vocals. On the page there was a clock ticking counter-clockwise and five candles, each candle playing one element of the song when the user hovered their mouse over it.

The next day, the band uploaded a song onto their official YouTube channel, also called "Secular Haze". They also played a special show at their hometown of Linköping in Sweden. They performed the whole Opus Eponymous record, and after finishing Genesis, the vocalist Papa Emeritus disappeared into the night, and a new vocalist, Papa Emeritus II, emerged from the darkness and preformed the new song, as well as a cover of ABBA's I'm a Marionette.

## Music Video

The song's music video was released on February 19, 2013, on Ghost's official YouTube channel. It was directed by Amir Chamdin, and recorded in Linköping. The video depicts the band in all their unholy glory performing on a stage, and the style of quality and the set's design is reminiscent of a 70's television show. This aesthetic was achieved by director Chamdin's prior experience in recreating "retro" aesthetics, and the usage of an actual old reel camera from the 70's that the band had obtained from an old TV studio.

## Track Listing

Tobias Forge

**Tobias Forge** (born 3 March 1981) is a founding member of Ghost, as well as being the band's current lead vocalist and frontman. For the first 10 years of Ghost's career, Forge like the rest of the band had kept his identity secret, but was promptly outed in light of a 2016 lawsuit sued by his former bandmates. Ever since the lawsuit, he has been more public and forthcoming about his work in the band, but still keeps a rather reserved demeanor.

## Early Life

Tobias Forge grew up in Linköping, Sweden. He spent most of his early childhood living with his mother and older brother Sebastian, the latter of which he credits with his very early music education. Sebastian gave him many of his own records when he was as young as three or four, and by age eight, Tobias already owned his own record and guitar.

Tobias's interest in the occult also began at a young age—at first manifesting as an aversion to Christianity, as many of the Christians he met in his early life were, "not very nice people", including his stepmother and a particularly strict religious schoolteacher, the latter of which became his "symbol for Christianity and not being very nice". Eventually, this aversion led him to foster an interest in Satanism and the occult as a form of rebellion against the Christian authority figures in his life, which was bolstered further by the music he was surrounded by at the time.

## Personal Life

He is currently married to his wife Boel Forge and has two twins with her.

Nameless Ghoul (Aurora)

Era V (IMPERA)

## Introduction/Info

A Nameless Ghoul/Ghoulette, otherwise known as "Aurora", aswell as the current shortest Ghoul/Ghoulette.

**Aurora** is the moniker/most commonly used fan-nickname for the second **Multi-Ghoul/Ghoulette**, filling in for Sunshine Ghoulette during the last half of the **Re-Imperatour 2023 tour**.

She plays tambourine and does backing vocals most commonly. She is often seen with **Swiss**, the two seeming to enjoy bothering each other. (This includes random goofy antics with eachother such as the two doing the famous "swiss shimmies" together, etc, etc.) --They also tend to frequently act rather lewd together on stage. *(to THOSE weird people that want to over-analyze everything about aurora and swiss' interactions on stage; it is an **act** my dudes. don't be creepy lmao)*

Whilst it is unknown whether or not she is staying for future tours, it is speculated she more than likely will be permanently replacing **Sunshine**.

## Personality

Aurora is seen to be quite giddy, energetic, and bubbly. Alongside this, she is also quite social, often interacting with the other **Ghouls/Ghoulettes** such as **Swiss** and **Phantom**.

Some things she's known for are her interactions with **Swiss**, her little 'twirls', etc.

## Appearance

Some of the main way's to differentiate Aurora from the other Ghouls/Ghoulettes are:

1. **Her height--** She is noticeably shorter than the other Ghouls/Ghoulettes, making her pretty easy to differentiate when standing to another Ghoul/Ghoulette.
2. **Her cape--** Due to her height, her cape is noticeably close to the ground, nearly touching it.
3. **Voice--** When doing backing vocals, it's quite easy to hear her, as her voice tends to be in the higher range.
4. **Misc.--** Another noticeable thing is she often wears 1-2 bracelets on one of her arms, usually white/silver ones. She also has long, painted nails.

## Trivia

* Aurora is portrayed by Vocalist/Songwriter **Olivia Morreale (Princess Liv).**

* Aurora is the second **Multi-Ghoul(/Ghoulette)** in the band, alongside **Swiss**.

* Aside from **Swiss**, Aurora is occasionally seen interacting with **Phantom**. (and vice versa)

* She joined Ghost **May 21st, 2023.**
Papa Nihil

The Original One

**Papa Emeritus Nihil**, formerly known as "Papa Emeritus Zero", is a member of The Clergy, and was the frontman of Ghost during the Seven Inches of Satanic Panic cycle in 1969. He is the father of Papa Emeritus, Papa Emeritus II, and Papa Emeritus III. He died on March 3, 2020, after "Miasma" was performed at the final show of the Prequelle touring cycle in Mexico City. As of September 2022 he remains the last confirmed member of the original Papa Emeritus bloodline, though it is heavily implied that he also fathered Papa Emeritus IV as a former lover of Sister Imperator.

## Appearance

As of current, Papa Nihil is a very elderly man, often employing the use of a walking cane or breathing mask from time to time. His skull facepaint is somewhat smudged, while his shoulder length hair has grayed completely and is slightly messy. Unlike his sons, who all have one white iris, both of his eyes are completely clouded white, most likely as a result of old age. He is mostly seen wearing a white chasuble.

During his time as the frontman of the band in 1969, Papa Nihil had a fuller and more refined skull facepaint, and medium-length black hair. He sported an all-black outfit, complemented by a Grucifix necklace.

Papa Nihil is portrayed by more than one person--In the Ghost chapters, one unknown actor plays his current self, while Justin Andrews plays his younger self as he appears in visions. Justin also plays NIhil's younger self in the music videos for Dance Macabre and Kiss The Go-Goat. Meanwhile, he is played on-stage in concerts by a Multighoul in a custom-made mask by Jerry Constantine.

## History

Papa Nihil first appeared on September 30, 2017. While the band was performing Monstrance Clock, two men came up on stage and dragged Papa III away, ending the song abruptly. Soon after, two men came up on stage escorting Papa Nihil (at the time known as "Papa Emeritus Zero") who addressed the crowd in Italian: "I am Papa Emeritus Zero, the party is over. The middle ages have begun", before being escorted off stage. Nihil's introduction was the first time a member of Ghost aside from Tobias Forge received a character name. He has henceforth appeared on stage to perform the saxophone solo on “Miasma" in tours thereafter.

Papa Nihil, along with Sister Imperator and The Clergy, killed Papa Emeritus, Papa Emeritus II, and Papa Emeritus III on April 30, 2018. They were embalmed and displayed during the Prequelle and Impera touring cycles.

Papa Nihil passed away on March 3, 2020, in Mexico City, after the performance of Miasma.

He was resurrected in April of 2022 to play Miasma's final section before passing again. He has been revived repeatedly on-stage during the Imperatour to continue performing this duty.

## Lyrics

"This is an elegy for the darkness that most people have inside. When you have a dam, spillways are the run-offs so the dam won’t overflow. That darkness inside us needs to find its way out." [1] says Tobias, Ghost's mastermind. an in-depth explanation is: The world is full of darkness, and humans of all kinds consume it, breathe it, think it, etc. the darkness often floods the mind and there has to be a way to keep you from breaking, so the "spillways" would be the way to prevent it. the song is dedicated to that idea. it is an appreciation to whatever keeps the mind from shattering.

* Spillways was written by Tobias Forge, Salem Al Fakir, and Vincent Pontare.

Death Knell

Song by Ghost

"**Death Knell**" is a song by Swedish rock band Ghost. It is the seventh track from the group's debut studio psalm *Opus Eponymous*.

## Lyrics

Say, can you see the cross?

Inverted solemnly

Symbol for the goat

Of a thousand young

Six six six

Evoke the king of hell

Strike the death knell

Death knell

Say, can you hear the chimes?

Tolls now for the end

Bells call out their doom

As victor reaches womb

Sex sex sex

Receive the beast of evil

Of evil...

Can you say his name?

Carrier of the light

Legions of this seed

A child, you, a spouse will feed

S-A-T-A-N

Under spell

of death knell

Death knell

The Ghost Lawsuit

In 2017, four former members of Ghost - Simon Soderberg, Mauro Rubino, Henrik Palm, and Martin Hjertstedt - filed a lawsuit against Tobias Forge. The accusation was that Forge was "cheating them out of their rightful share of the profits from the group's album releases and world tours."

In doing so, the former band members effectively lifted the veil of secrecy that had previously surrounded Ghost, as Forge's identity as Papa Emeritus had been largely successfully concealed from the general public up until that point.

Tobias Forge filed a legal response on June 7, 2017, asserting that no legal partnership ever existed between Forge and the other members of the band.

Behind mask, chosen son

Oh, you rebel chief, destroyer of the earth

Rise from precipice through birth

Satanas, we are one

Out of three, trinity

Siamo con clavi, siamo con Dio

Religious trauma syndrome

**Religious trauma syndrome** (**RTS**) is recognized in psychology and psychotherapy as a set of symptoms, ranging in severity, experienced by those who have participated in or left behind authoritarian, dogmatic, and controlling religious groups and belief systems.

Many adherents of Ghost have sought healing and found relief through the band's music and teachings.

This 2022 quote from Tobias Forge indicates the band's perspective:

> *Had I known almost 15 years ago that this band would've become something, I would've chosen a name for the band that was more like Cirice — which means "church" — to sum up what we're doing. We're emulating a religious experience by simply doing the same things as a church: gathering people, overpowering them with sensation and trying to make them feel something. The only difference is that we try to make people feel fucking good about themselves instead of making them feel like shit.*

"No, Sister, it's **The Old One**, himself."

In Chapter Five: The Call, Sister Imperator receives a very brief phone call from "**The Old One**" while in the hospital after her car accident.

The Old One is likely a male and speaks with a possibly-British accent.

"Old One, Master" is a line from Majesty, a track from Meliora.

The first episode of Papaganda is also titled "The Olde One"

Mary On A Cross

**"Mary On A Cross"** is a track from Ghost's 2019 EP Seven Inches of Satanic Panic. It went viral in 2022 on TikTok nearly 3 years after its original release as a "slowed and reverb" version of the song was used in a video relating to the Netflix hit TV show *Stranger Things.* Ghost took advantage of the virality and formally re-released the "slowed and reverb" version of the song as part of MESSAGE FROM THE CLERGY in September 2022.
St. Martin of Tours

**St. Martin of Tours** is a venerated figure within the Catholic Church.

In Chapter Ten: Home Coming & Special Guests, a votive candle bearing an image of St. Martin of Tours is lit in Papa Emeritus IV's room at The Ministry, positioned in front of two additional votive candles bearing images of The Holy Child of Atocha.

St. Martin is said to have brought back three people from the dead; it has been speculated that the candle's presence indicates Papa IV may resurrect Papas I, II, and/or III.
Jesus is coming

"**Jesus is coming**" was a mysterious slogan that appeared on a billboard in Hollywood in January 2023, featuring the face of Papa Emeritus IV without any additional context. Speculation was high for several months among the fandom, until April 2023 when Jesus He Knows Me was debuted as the lead single off of the Phantomime EP in an Easter Sunday morning launch event. Father Jim DeFroque was introduced in a 30 minute "live" stream on YouTube, immediately followed by the release of the music video for Jesus He Knows Me.

Elizabeth

"**Elizabeth**" is a song by Ghost. The track was released as the lead single from the group's first studio album *Opus Eponymous.*

## Background and release

The song "Elizabeth" is about the Hungarian countess, Elizabeth Báthory, who is known for torturing and killing virgins. She would do so and then complete her ritual by bathing in their blood. She did this because she had a firm belief that it would keep her "forever young".​​​​​ She was found to have murdered hundreds of women in her time. She started with her cruelty after her husband's death in 1604. After being found guilty of her crimes, she was confined to the depths of her castle's chambers, where she died. In 2010, the band produced a three-track demo and the vinyl-only single "Elizabeth", before releasing their first studio album, Opus Eponymous on October 18, 2010.

## Lyrics

Underneath the moonlight
Of old Hungarian skies
Buried in the blood-drenched earth
These barren lands of ice
She was an evil woman
With an evil old soul
Piercing eyes emotionless
A heart so black and cold

Elizabeth, in the chasm where was my soul
Forever young, Elizabeth
Báthory in the castle of your death
You're still alive, Elizabeth

Her pact with Satan
Her despisal of mankind
Her acts of cruelty and her lust for blood
Makes her one of us

Our ancient countess
Was refused her desires will
To bathe in pure fresh blood
She'd peasant virgins killed

Elizabeth, in the chasm where was my soul
Forever young, Elizabeth
Báthory in the castle of your death
You're still alive, Elizabeth
Elizabeth, in the chasm where was my soul
Forever young, Elizabeth
Báthory in the castle of your death
You're still alive, Elizabeth

Satan Prayer

Song by Ghost

"**Satan Prayer**" is a song by Swedish rock band Ghost. The sixth track from the group's debut studio psalm *Opus Eponymous*, it serves as a direct counterpoint to the "Nicene Creed", the defining "statement of belief" of mainstream Christianity.

## Lyrics

Believe In One God Do We

Satan Almighty

The Uncreator Of Heaven And Soul

And The Unvisable And The Visable

And In His Son

Begotten Of Father

By Whom All Things Shall Be Unmade

Who For Man And His Damnation

Incarnated,

Rise Up From Hell

From Sitteth On The Left Hand Of His Father

From Thense He Shall Come To Judge

Out Of One Substance

With Satan

Whose Kingdom Shall Haveth No End

Hear Our Satan Prayer

Our Anti Nicene Creed

Hear Our Satan Prayer

For The Coming Of Seed

Hear Our Satan Prayer

Our Anti Nicene Creed

Hear Our Satan Prayer

For The Coming Of Seed

Unholy Ghost

Overlord And Taker Of Life

Hear Our Satan Prayer

Our Anti Nicene Creed

Hear Our Satan Prayer

For The Coming Of Seed

Hear Our Satan Prayer

Our Anti Nicene Creed

Hear Our Satan Prayer

For The Coming Of Seed

Here Comes the Sun

Cover by Ghost

"**Here Comes the Sun**" is a song by the Beatles, covered by Swedish rock band Ghost. It is a bonus track featured on the Japanese *Opus Eponymous* CD, and it begins the tradition of the band inverting the songs they cover.

## Background

Describing why they covered "*Here Comes the Sun*", a Ghoul said "I've been a fan of Beatles even longer than I've been listening to hard rock, so it made a lot of sense." He explained that the band selects songs to cover based on if they can adapt it into their own: "We sort of found the angle of taking that so and inverting it. And that's something that's sort of the Ghost recipe for doing covers, it has to be a song that has some sort of tongue-in-cheek inversion quality to it. And that song just screamed 'cover'."

## Lyrics

Little darling, it's been a long cold lonely winter

Little darling, it feels like years since it's been here

Here comes the sun, here comes the sun

And I say it's all right

Little darling, the smiles returning to the faces

Little darling, it feels like years since it's been here

Here comes the sun, here comes the sun

And I say it's all right

Sun, sun, sun, here it comes

Sun, sun, sun, here it comes

Sun, sun, sun, here it comes

Sun, sun, sun, here it comes

Sun, sun, sun, here it comes

Little darling, I feel that ice is slowly melting

Little darling, it feels like years since it's been clear

Here comes the sun, here comes the sun

And I say it's all right

Here comes the sun, here comes the sun

And I say it's all right

Faith

"**Faith**" is a song by Ghost. The track was released as the third and final single from Prequelle, the band's fourth studio album. It peaked at number six on the *Billboard* Mainstream Rock Songs chart in September 2019.

## Background

The song title was first revealed in February 2018, and later debuted in a live setting in early May 2018, almost a month prior to its release on its respective studio album, *Prequelle*. A music video was released on December 20, 2018. The video consists of live performance footage from the band's North American leg of their tour "A Pale Tour Named Death", and was released to celebrate the completion of the first leg of the tour. The video was directed by Bill Yukich. The video includes footage of crowds watching the band performing the song in front of the stage backdrop that was made to look like the outside of a church, with stained glass windows showing off incarnations of Cardinal Copia and Papa Emeritus.

## Composition and themes

The song is an original composition, of no relation to the frequently covered George Michael song "Faith". The song contains "soaring" heavy guitar riffs and "gospel-adjacent melodies". The song is one of few that features frontman Tobias Forge on lead guitar. Forge said of his guitar-work on the track:

*Loudwire* described the song as "one of the more metal moments of *Prequelle*, and interpreted its lyrics to be Forge's response to being taken to court by earlier members of the band in 2017, which Forge went on to win, notably with the lines "*A fecal trail across the land /Although it stinks, feels, and looks identical / A pack of fools take the stand*."

## Personnel

* Cardinal Copia - vocals
* A Group of Nameless Ghouls – lead guitar, rhythm guitar, bass guitar, drums, keyboards
Re:Kiss the Go-Goat

Kiss the Go-Goat is the first track on the 7 Inches of Satanic Panic record. The song is, to paraphrase, about kissing the devil's anus and/or having sexual intercourse with the devil. In the chorus, "Osculum Obscenum" directly translates to "obscene kiss" in latin.

## **Lyrics**

Hey baby

Kiss the goat

Whoa

Kiss, kiss, kiss the go-goat

You've been playin' around with magic that is black

But all the powerful magical mysteries never give a single thing back

You've been daddied by all the dudes that were not dad

And all of those dads never gave you the things

That you should have had

It ain't always what it seems

When you cling onto a dream

It ain't always there to please you

But he's the guy you wanna do

And you know that it takes two

Luckily he wants to do you too

Satan

Lucifer

Osculum obscenum

Hey baby

Kiss the goat

Ahhh

Kiss, kiss, kiss the go-goat

Hey baby

Hey, hey, hey kiss the goat

Ahhh

Kiss, kiss, kiss the go-goat

It ain't always what it seems

That glitter wasn't gold

As opposed to what they told you

But he's the guy you wanna do

And you know that it takes two

Luckily he wants to do you too

Satan

Lucifer

Osculum obscenum

It ain't always what it seems

When you cling onto a dream

It ain't always there to please you

But he's the guy you wanna do

And you know that it takes two

Luckily he wants to do you too

Hunter's Moon

Single by Ghost

**Hunter’s Moon** is a song by Swedish heavy metal band Ghost. It was released for the movie “Halloween Kills”, the latest installment in the Halloween horror movie trilogy. The song also features as the fifth track on the album, IMPERA.

## Background and Release

According to Tobias Forge, Ryan Turek, a producer of the film *Halloween Kills*, asked him if he was interested in writing a song for the film. Forge said that he already had a few songs that might work, and specifically one song that could work very well within the concepts of the film.

To quote lead singer Tobias Forge, aka Papa Emeritus, "The actual recording will last around six weeks and then there's two to three weeks of mixing and mastering, so sometime in March the record should be finished, but it won't be released until after the summer. As it looks now, knock on wood, we will then go on tour. We won't release an album until we know that we are actually going on tour. The album release will coincide with the start of a tour. Of course, we could announce an album release date and then, for some reason, it might not be possible to tour, but that's a whole other matter."

Two versions of the song were produced; the single, which can be heard on the 7" vinyl release and the album Impera, and the film version, which can be heard in the Halloween Kills movie as well as the limited edition orange 7" single vinyl.

Hunter's Moon was released as a single in vinyl format on January 21, 2022.

## Music Video

The music video takes on the aesthetic of a horror movie. The video also has an appearance from Papa Emeritus IV and Michael Myers.
Nameless Ghoul (Rain/water)

## Introduction

**Rain** is the moniker/most commonly used fan-nickname for the **Water Ghoul** in the band, aka the bassist.

## Physical description

### Height

Around 5'7" (Estimate,, may be inaccurate)

He usually stays at the center of the stage or up between the drums and keyboards during rituals.

## Names

Formerly known as simply 'Water', however fans gave him the nickname "Rain" as his personality was more calm and laid-back than the other ghouls/ghoulettes in the band.

## Appearance (Era V; IMPERA/Current)

Rain can be recognized on stage by his black and white bass guitar with 4 strings. His right horn breaks through the mask, and can be seen in closer images. He is currently using a black bass guitar or either using his white and black bass. If the camera is close enough to his face, His black colored nose can be seen.

Some of the main way's to differentiate Rain from the other ghouls are:

**Height--** Rain is more than likely either the 2nd or 3rd shortest ghoul, so he is a bit easy to spot when standing next to another Ghoul/Ghoulette. He is taller than Sodo/Dewdrop, but is around the same height as Swiss and Aether.

**Bass--** Another easy thing to notice is his bass; If you see a Ghoul with a black and white bass, it's more than likely Rain.

## Personality

As said before, Rain is seen to act more calm and laid-back than the other members, or more so just not as "chaotic".

He is not a "shy" person as everyone says, he just acts more calm than the other nameless ghouls. But, once it's time for him to do a solo, he will act like a whole different person.

He is often seen interacting with **Sodo**, and vice versa.

## Trivia

Rain is portrayed by bassist **Cosmo "Cos" Sylvan.**

As of writing, Rain currently uses a Fender American Professional Jazz Bass on stage.

From 2018 to early 2019, Rain was primarily seen using a Fender Jaguar PJ Bass on stage.

He’s got kind of a signature move that’s been named “***the leg thing***” among the tumblr fandom, however he mainly only did it during the Prequelle era.

Rain joined Ghost **April 6th, 2018.**
Augment: Overclocked Modular Gearbox

File:Grid Augment: Overclocked Modular Gearbox.png
 Stackable | Yes (64)

The **Augment: Overclocked Modular Gearbox** is an item added by the Thermal Expansion 4 mod.

An Augment is used to add functionality to machines. This Augment can only be used on Reinforced or higher tiered machines. It accelerates the processing speed by a factor of 4, but also causes the machine to use 100% more energy at 8 times the RF/t. For example, a Pulverizer typically works at 40 RF per tick, with the augment installed, it works at 320 RF/t.

To function, it requires the previous tier Augment: Secondary Reception Coil to be installed. The effects do not stack, only the highest tier augment takes effect.
