The Image of Ultimate Evil
The Devil and other emissaries of hell have been know by many names throughout the years.
Belial.
Behemoth.
Beelzebub.
Asmodeus.
Satanas.
Lucifer. Okay, I’m done I just wanted to have my Ghost moment because Year Zero is a great song. Old Scratch has as many artistic interpretations throughout history as he has names. Starting around the Middle Ages the devil got a concrete image that wasn’t just copies of pagan deities. From presiding over sinners in Hell to playing monks like instruments in propaganda, this iteration of Satan is often animalistic, grotesque, and overtly sexual in a disgusting way.
Like this 1260 mural for example. Horrid, weird, and having his junk out in the open. This trend lasted till the Renaissance and the publishing of John Milton’s Paradise Lost. With this poem, the idea of satan shifted into something more sympathetic, human, and handsome. See my previous post for some examples of Renaissance Lucifer. This beauty lasts till the modern era, but we also see the introduction of Satan depicted as a representation of modern indulgences and greed. This is personally my favorite version, a sophisticated and charming devil with a silver tongue and selling fast luxury. Especially in DC Comics, the devil is a suave antihero and an extremely compelling character.

“You will wear your independence like a crown.”
In Ghost’s 2015 “From the Pinnacle to the Pit”, the singer describes the falling of Satan from heaven and his accursed rule of Hell. In the song it is depicted as an act of a hero and a king, as the devil does become. It also emphasises the idea of the fallen angel as a rebellious figure looking for independence from a tyrannical God. The whole song is a melancholy celebration of the Devil’s freedom and the start of his rule of the Pit.

A Prince in Exile Here in Hell
The band Ghost BC has many songs in direct praise of the Lord of Darkness Lucifer, but their song “Majesty” is directly an infernal hymn. The song describes the beauty and power that Lucifer has, the fact he has descended from Heaven, and also describes the sinners that flock to the throne of the Devil as his subjects and worshippers. It is a solemn celebration of the Dark Prince, stating “Old one, Master. All beauty lies within you, your infernal Majesty.” It is a sinister and ethereal psalm to Lucifer, and a generally great song.

wanted to try some different posing and colouring style : )
⛧ ) 🦇 — Opuseponymusalbumic!
an albumic/musicgender connected to the Opus Eponymus album by Ghost, this gender may also be connected to castle architecture, lightning, bats, and full moons!
( colours picked from the album cover and lightened / tuned slightly )
[ID: Three flags with 11 stripes each, starting with a purple-ish black, dark cyan that fades into a lighter cyan over the next 2 lines, a line of white-ish blue, and a cyan line in between. The colours flip and end back with the purple-ish black. The far left flag has five bats flying around the middle edges of the flag, three on the left and two on the right. There's a full moon on the right underneath one of the bats. At the bottom of the flag, three lightning strikes spread out. The middle image has the Opus Eponymous album in the middle of it. Papa Emeritus the First is seen hovering behind an Elizabethan-era castle, his hands that end in claws are spread in the sky, his robes making up the sky in the background. The same bats and moon from the first image are there above the castle, and the lightning is behind it. End ID.]
