Recorded, mixed, and mastered in the Spring of 2018.
The lyrics are the Satanized Enochian Keys.
Conceptualization and composition began 4 years ago, in the January of 2014. However, the project was put indefinitely on hold when it was decided the scope was too overwhelmingly large for the, at the time, overly ambitious 20 year old that I was. In addition, interest in other styles began diverging my focus from this release, as well as general life plight. The music was left aside, for time to later decide when its realization was ready to come to light.
Digression aside, it can be said this album is the paramount culmination of my early ambitions for this project; it is as a tribute to the Satanist in myself and to those who also subscribe to such Left-Hand Path philosophies. It is the most, structurally, "progressive" release I have ever envisioned thus far. Dedication to black and death metal.
A monument to the blackest dark, whose epitaph reads, "Thou who beholdest this, know that thy now art a keeper of the Enochian Keys". The promethean illumination of the path to self-preservation, blasphemy, heresy, and glory. Presented in raw form, raw passion, raw wrath.
Hail Satan, Hail Lucifer, Hail the Seven Princes of Hell! Ave!
