Deus demonum, deus archangelorum, deus Diabole, deus domini nostri Satanas. I conjure you Adversary of weakness, enemy of the servile and pale sheep, destroyer of false saints. I summon the Adversary whose names are many and terrible to be chanting in the night: Satan, the Devil, Opposer, Mahazael, Belial, Mastema, Beelzebub, Berith, Astaroth, Sathan, Bael, Leviathan, Lucifer and the Legion of the Star of the Morning, By Diabolus and Samael! By the virtues of self-reliance and strength of Will; by the Fallen Angels and Demons of immortal spirit and aerial abode, gather unto me! Infernal Spirit whose inspires and illuminates my mind, by Lucifer the King who commands and rules this earth. O Infernal brothers and sisters, guides and teachers of the Black Arts; I conjure thou Spirit of the Devil to fill my temple of mind, body and spirit. Hail Satan, Hail Beelzebub, Hail Lucifer, Hail Leviathan, in the Devil’s Name I journey into the darkness and so guided by the dagger-ridged crooked spine of the dragon, Ave! Unclean Spirit, Dragon, Noxious Serpent, I invoke you by the mystery of Cain’s bloodthirst from whence Clay became Fire and atlast Light. Ave Author of Diabolical Power, Inventor of Malice and Ruler of this World. I conjure you O Devil, by the Dragon, Beast and False Prophet, ignited and risen in me. I reject the bastard Christ, I deny the false god, I spit upon the deflowered virgin whore-mother, I embrace Death to awaken in Life! I conjure you O blessed, holy Devil of old. Ave Satanas!

The aural necromancy of Darkness Enshroud is that of ritualistic dark ambient, synthesizer and keyboard black atmospheres which present a ghostlike world of demonic apparitions and twisted shapes in the fog of graveyards and shadow-drenched woods....more

Driving home in heavy winter traffic, this replaces the drive-time news with thoughts of HEAVY-SEXY. I'm all fingers and thumbs as I picture the riot-girl balaclava, pale slavic nudes and red velvet drapes, flapping in a post-nuclear breeze of sheer and utter end times. Favourite track: all of them at once! But hard to drink coffee to. Must maintain eyes on the road. x Frauke Hunckle RDT
