About this song
Year Zero is taken from Ghost's second album, Infestissumam, which is described as a theatrical work. The song opens with a choir chanting what are presented as terms for Satan, though they are in fact the six kings of Hell. The band's sound blends heavy metal with pop sensibility and strong hooks, and sounds more like 1970s anthem rock than the black metal their stage show and lyrics might suggest.
What it's about
The song tells of the rise of Satan to power, following his ascent after his birth. It forms part of the album's larger story of his origins and rise.
