Background and release

A Nameless Ghoul called "From the Pinnacle to the Pit" a "truly stomping riff-based song, Led Zeppelin-style" and "something that would sound great coming out of a car stereo in an American high school parking lot."[1] The song was released on July 17, 2015.

Music video

The song's music video was directed by Zev Deans,[2] and was filmed in a style reminiscent of 1920s silent movies. In the video, a student is sent to the headmaster’s office only to be shown how man can harness the power of a god. The student is turned into an all-powerful man who despises what he’s become. This evolves into the creation of Ghost vocalist Papa Emeritus III.
