On today's episode we discuss Ghost: 2 Big to Rig. As of this recording, the follow-up to ''Ghost: Rite Here Rite Now'' has just finished up its 5-day theatrical run and we have a LOT of thoughts.  GonstFM LINKS linktr.ee/gonstFM

With Ghost's 2 Big To Rig coming soon to theaters, we take a trip back in time to the band's 2017 mini-documentary The Devil's Hands. Initially premiering at various fan gatherings, the film follows the band's various crew members, including their tour manager, backline tech and more as they run through their role in Ghost's live production.

He served as Ghost's Earth Ghoul, playing drums for them from 2010-2014 and appearing on the studio album "Infestissumam" and the "If You Have Ghost" EP.

Our Witch Images series resumes as we continue exploring the music videos of Ghost with "He Is" (directed by Zev Deans). With the cinematography invoking a dreamlike quality, Papa Emeritus III portrays a rockstar-esque pastor leading a congregation of women in song while also collecting money from/baptizing them.

Today we continue our Witch Images series (in which we explore the music videos of Ghost) with Square Hammer directed by Zev Deans. Framed as a sendup of 1920s expressionist horror, the video finds Papa Emeritus III and the Nameless Ghouls taking in a night at the movies as spooky shenanigans ensue with a dash of humor.

On this episode we discuss Ghost's subtle yet, abrupt cancellation of the remaining dates of the Skeletour (marking the shortest album cycle in the band's history), the reasoning behind it, and the subsequent criticisms/fallout resulting from it.

Ghost released Chapter 23 and left fans with many questions such as: "Is Papa IV coming back?", "Is the Skeleta Era over already?", "Is this the end of Ghost, entirely?" We give our answers to these questions based on past actions from the band and do our best to quell the worries of the fanbase with an open discussion.
