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 in July 17, 2015
Music video
The song's music video was directed by Zev Deans.[2] 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
