Ghost with Amon Amarth Kick Off the Re-Imperatour U.S.A in Concord California
So, I dragged my 13 year old son to the opening night of the band Ghost’s Re-Imperatour U.S.A tour last night at the Concord Pavilion in Concord, California. And I cannot get over it. I can’t!.
This was the first time in 5 years the band from Sweden has been in the Bay Area. And they brought with them Amon Amarth, the Vikings of Metal. Let’s start with them. Their set was phenomenal. The Viking helmet and ship on the stage were accompanied by large statues and then a giant serpent of the sea. The lightning, the thunder, Viking on Viking violence, Amon Amarth was ready to kill their set. When Johan Hegg screamed, “Raise your horns!” and took a drink out of his horn, we all went insane. Then there was the rowing. The ENTIRE crowd swayed back and forth as if they were rowing the Viking ship. It was majestic AF! Skål!
We were all ramped up. And then it was time for the Ritual. Tobias Forge, under the persona Papa Emeritus IV, launched into Imperium as soon as the curtain dropped. The stage was set like a cathedral, ready for the sacrifice. The Nameless Ghouls’ masks look like a devil with a steampunk gas mask on. The set list was a mix of their work, including the crowd favorite Rats. Even my son was raising a fist! Absolution had us all dying to reach the sun.
I would say that if you have the time, you MUST go see this tour! For a list of upcoming tour dates and to buy merch, go here: https://ghost-official.com/
I did not have a photo pass for this show, so my pics are from my cell phone and I have put them in the gallery on this site. To see video clips of the bands that I recorded with my cell phone, visit my Tik Tok here: https://www.tiktok.com/@chel_evah/video/7262981135762836779
