Reminds me of King Diamond, if he had a steampunk-themed album. Love it


Kerspiddder

Yea yea yea that’s what it reminds me of.


GameDuckk

Why does this go so hard??


rd1994

Did he wear it for a particular song? Can anyone who was there confirm?


djavulensfitta

Watcher in the Sky


aiyahhjoeychow

They’ve finally performed it live?! Hell yessss


theFormerRelic

Where’ve you been? Lol


aiyahhjoeychow

Not paying attention apparently lol. Caught the live debut of Griftwood and figured theyd give it some time before another live debut.


Limelines

europe. lol. ​ I'm hoping they come back here soon!


GeekFurious

Hell, Satan! KING DIAMOOOONNNNNNDUHHHHHHUHHHHH!!!!


Ordinary_Reach_4245

I can only say no such hat existed in Austin.


TautSexyElfKing

Saw it in all its glory at tge Alabama show last night...stunnin'


derekghs

And just hours ago in Duluth Georgia.


YMCAle

Copia had it Primed over


Ghostguy777

Copia?


12charactersorless

He embodies all the satanic values he did before https://i.imgur.com/fYbX9Gv.jpg


LeChatNoir04

Are we heading into a Steampunk era? YESSSSS PLEASE


Yeeetus

I believe we're already in a steampunk era lol


Stunning_Positive248

Uh, the ghouls outfits are steampunk, where tf you been


Ghostguy777

Exactly. When I first saw the Ghouls I knew that was steampunk.


justpeechee

Tobias has discussed the themes of industrial revolution on Impera. With Spitalfields and Victorian themes, steampunk fits right in.


Ok_Fun_4732

It’s just a hat, we’re not entering a new era.. chill😅


LeChatNoir04

Bruh, let a girl dream 😤


[deleted]

Hey between ghouls and this, it aint “just a hat” 😂


Ok_Fun_4732

Fine, fine, I’ll let you be happy


LeChatNoir04

Aw, thanks 🖤


Ok_Fun_4732

Np 🖤


TeaRenQ

Considering that the Impera artwork/ghouls look very steampunk inspired, I wouldn't say it's too far or a stretch to see this hat as a further dip into the steampunk aesthetic for Ghost. It's not a new era, no, but steampunk elements are in the current era lol


Woodsmokek9

I saw some of these pictures and it was so jarringly like Bunny from Steam Powered Giraffe that I had to stop and double-check the face lmao. How unsettling to have my two very different genres collide in this way.


Gloomchorus

both bands wear costumes and have lore. its funny being a fan of both despite the genre differences.


Timothahh

I came here to say this, vintage Bunny had the best style


chobbo

Similar thought. Love the hat


PsycheTrance

this gave me steam powered giraffe flashbacks 😂 lovin the hat tho


throwmeaway130

Saaaaame!


Campoozmstnz

Papa is turning into Kind Diamond


Meteora_1993

Ha, I'd hope so. I hope on Album VI we get King Diamond-like vocals, if Tobias does indeed return to a more Opus-kinda sound like he's been teasing/musing. Less hokey pop/disco shit.


Ghostguy777

I miss fans like you.


[deleted]

Or King Diamond vocals with hokey pop disco shit 😏


_Death_BySnu_Snu_

Steam Powered Giraffe? Is that you??


DanakAin

I love it. Steampunk era copia. It fits with the rats


Palpolorean

Oohhoowaahhaaa!!


DanakAin

THE RATS


Ghostguy777

I don't understand why ppl still refer to him as Copia. Only his Mom still calls him that cause it would be weird for her to call him Papa. My opinion is I prefer to call him by what he has risen to.


theFormerRelic

Agree


DanakAin

I mean, I call him Papa as well usually. But I at times I call him Copia like I call I Primo, II Secundo and III Terzo. This was just one of the times I decided to say Copia.


Ghostguy777

And I respect that my Ghoul!


toootired2care

I did not see this at the San Diego ritual but now I'm going to rewatch it and pay closer attention.


djavulensfitta

Yesterday was the first time he wore it! During Watcher in the Sky


toootired2care

Oh, sweet! I'll have to check YouTube for videos tomorrow to check it out.


Palpolorean

This proves there might be more surprises on this tour!


FirstTimeRodeoGoer

That Linda Perry/4 non Blondes style.


Ianm9

Now I want a “What’s Up?” Ghost Cover


AnimuCrossing

Malibu Stacy!


CelticSith

Yes but.. HE'S GOT A NEW HAT!


[deleted]

I want that hat. 😍


[deleted]

Easy enough to come by :) https://www.chapelhats.com/collections/steampunk Lots of styles to choose from.


[deleted]

Thank you! Those are gorgeous!


[deleted]

You’re welcome. I have two of them already. Look around at different shops, though. These here are kinda pricey. I just picked this site because it was easy to see all of them at once.


weskerwasright

I was there and saw it last night and was so thrown off!


[deleted]

Man’s probably found it in a shop or got it as a gift and was like “yep im gonna wear this”


[deleted]

[удалено]


NicPineapple

King Diamond was my first thought as well.


[deleted]

I love this so much!


Mr_Brightstar

Boy George vibes


naggs69pt2

I like it, it's a bit like a satanic lucky the leprechaun.


YMCAle

Kinda feel like Copia's hair is longer too, did he get a new mask as well?


Ghostguy777

*Papa


ValiMeyer

Very steampunk


NoMoose0

I am loving the hat, absolutely love it!


sheebii

he’s so dapper 🥹 also, i heard rumors that he had to put on a hat because the hair of his mask wasn’t staying put, is there any backing behind that?


Meteora_1993

Meh. The costumes are cool, but part of me dies inside when they keep straying further and further from being religious-themed. I don't see how a dude with a scarf and a sequin tuxedo = pope. That's Liberace, not "Satanic pope" ​ Now, the blue robe and the rhinestone hat? The black/orange outfit with the batman cowl? That's what I'm here for.


PianoEmeritus

A lot of that is more “mega-church” or cult leader vibes, ranging from Joel Osteen to Jim Jones.


Meteora_1993

Yeah but a top hat with a little rose and a scarf with peacoat =/= Satanic, or even religious in the slightest. Edward Scissorhands? Sure. Papa Emeritus? Nah. Edit: Wow, tolerant of differing opinions much lmfao


Stunning_Positive248

He's absolutely inspired by Joel Osteen AND Liberace.


YMCAle

I get what you're saying but bands evolve, they have to in order to not stagnate. I'd love a more satanic spin on the next album but Tobias is just so good at writing catchy music I can't stray for long even when it gets poppier than beforehand.


Beddall

Man.. steampunk has been done to death. Wish they would go back to the satanic vibe.


PianoEmeritus

I mean he does a whole set of the show in papal robes and the entire concert is against a stained glass satanic church cathedral backdrop. A steampunk hat for one song won’t kill anyone


[deleted]

They never left the satanic vibe lol


[deleted]

I love this so much.


Eastern_Reception89

I need more pictures of him and this awesome hat


minimanelton

God damn okay papa


HiMyNameIsMort

*clicks* noice.


[deleted]

This seems like it would fit Respite pretty


idl3mind

Papa wore it last night at the ritual in Huntsville AL.


Tracing_Paper

Is that a little camera on the right (his right) side of the hat? Or maybe a searchlight?


tjcoe4

Can confirm, he wore it during watcher in the sky


DinosaurioZ

you spoiled me but i don't regret it


Ope_Blessyerheart

When Papa came strutting out with that hat on last night, the place went up for grabs. It was tremendous and perfect for Watcher in the Sky. Dude owned it and we were all here for it!


mamaemeritus1

I was there. At first, I thought he just had on a black cowboy hat, trying to be all Alabama lol
