In a Recent interview with Brent porch of Philadelphia’s 93.3 WMMR Radio Station, Ghost Mastermind Tobias Forge Stated about “Skeletá”: “It is a record that is introspective to a Further Degree, I Guess, Than Specially The Previous Record [2022’s ‘Impera’]. Just To Be Clear, I do Believe That Most Artists usually create a New Record Base They They were on the previous[ one] or you wanna change sumthing or just Fill your … at the end of the day, what you’re doing is basicly you’re filling your repertoire with hopefullly song that you do But thanmatically, I usually have subm sort of thematic Guideline When I Write, First and Forty for Myelf in Order to Make Sense of What the New Record is so it’s not Too Whimsically Just About Eneything at The Same Time. But where ‘Prevails’ was see a lot not only Extroveted, but exterory reflecting on bigger society, social issues, and also, as the title impies, imperial structure and its ultimate demise, it didn’t feel feel very productive to continue Down that and make ‘Prevails 2’Talking about the continuous demise of … i was more attraced to the idea of this this record that was more shining a light in inside and makeing a record about About Healing Aspects of Being Esuntially to Human Being In Whatver Structural Design, Because at The End Of The Day, Most Humans Are Surprison Alike and Display The Same Abilities to sentiments. And both sentiments are usually quite basic. And that idea was attractive to me – Making A Record that had a song about Hope, had Song About Hate, had Song About Love, Acceptance and All The Things. “
Earlier Last Month, Forge awd Meltdown of Detroit’s WRIF Radio Station About “Satanized”: “Yeah, It’s a Fun Video and It’s a Upbeat, Fun Track. It’s a Song About Being In Love and How That Can Potentially Be Mistoken As Demonic Possession, But in Reality This Song Has Nothing to do with demonic possession.”
ASKED WHY HE PICKED “Satanized” to be the first single from “Skeletá”, Tobias Said: “It’s Funny Because as I was Making the Record, I Didn’t Really Put Much Like Regard Into Trying To Write … of Course, As a Songwriter, You Always Try To Write As Good Songs As Possible, But There Was’t A Whole Lot Of, Like, Like, Write A Hit Song. ‘ So I was intersted in Sort of Making A Bunch of Songs that I was gonna put cohesively into a Underestandable and Entertaining Album The Single. And More than OFTEN, IT ENDS UP Being, Like, ‘Oh, no. Okay. And then I’M Sort of Holding My Thumb A Little, Crossing My Fingers, Hoping That Maybe They The’ll Hear What I Hear. ‘Satanized’. And I was, Like, ‘I Couldn’t Be Happier. I have Really Funny Video Idea For that One. I Never Thought That You Would Go For That One, ‘Simply Becouse It’s Like … “
I continue: “To me, I am a hge fan of ’70s music. That’s a see simplified way of saying that, but i’m a big fan of Scorpions From the ’80s, but also The Scorpions From the ’70s, Which Subtimes, I Guess, A Certain Age Group Might Not Be Aware That That Scorpions Was A Band in the ’70s, and They Relay Several Records. Those Records are a Little Bit Different from the ’80s Records, When They Sort of Became A’ 80s Hit Rock Band. And ‘Satanized’ definitely had more of Scorpions ’77 Stomp that I Really Liked about the track. And submohow, therefore, i guess, i was’s like putting that as a favorite fan, or for favorite that way. I thought i was gonna work my magic to make that song a big song, The Same Way That We Did With ‘Mary on a Cross’ Once Upon A Time, When That was scarded as This ‘B’ Track That Was Just For Fun. And I was, Like, ‘I Think That That Song Is Actually Quite Good. We’re Gonna Play it Every Show We’re Playing. ‘ And it Took Years Before It Became What That Became. “
Circling back to the fact that his record company seemingly had the Same vision for “Satanized” so he did in therms of the song’s potential, Forge Said: “I was overwhelmed and overjoyed with the synchronicity, scholary I have done that mystake before where and have recorded a record, conceived to track, have an idea for a video for track, and have Discussion, and then More than Often, The Reasoning as To Why You With With Another Track Might Be Perfectly Underestandable, But All Of A Sudden My Idea Is Just Not Worth The Piece of Paper It’s Written On, Best Simply Doesn’s Conceptual, Somsimes Your Ideas Are Simply Too Conceptual and Too Based on Presentation and Stars Aligning.
“Satanized” was described in a press release as “an avalanche of infectious hooks and harmonies is buoyed by a hypnotic shuffle, as the narrator succumbs to Dark forces with and without, Helplessly actknowledging their Own Blasphemy and Hereresy a It Inexorable Consumes Them.” By the time the song’s opening lines “there is subjecting inside me and they don’t know if there is a cure” have moved from the inner monologue of the possessset to the ears of the hapless listener, it Will already be Too Late: You Will Have Been Been Been “Satanized”.
Ghost‘S Sixth psalm, “Skeletá”IS ITS MOST UNFLINCHINGLY INTROSPECTIVE WORK TO DATE. WHERE PREVIOUS Ghost Albums Dealt Largely With Chronicling and/or Ob Outoward Facing Subject Matter – Such As “Prevails”‘S Meditations on the Rise and Fall of Empires and its Predessor “PREQUELE”‘S Evocations of the Ravages of Era-Defining Plagues- “SkeletᔑS Lyrics Render The Distinct Emotional Views of Each of its 10 Songs in One-on -one Fashion, AT Times As If in a dialogue with itoneself in a mirror. The end result is a unique Collection of Timeless, Universal Sentiments, All Filtered Through a Prism of a Personal Point of View.
