Teatro Satanico tis thee projekt ov thee occult experimental elektronikx artist deviLs g./Devis Granziera [Abra Had Abra, Lvnvs, Necrofilia, Necrophonie, S. Biasin Trio..] who hails from Bassano Del Grappa (Vicenza), Italy!!

here tis thee info which was included with thee track:

"the title of this work is: VENI LUCIFER

the chant says: veni Lucifer et emitte caelitus lucis tuae radium

it's Latin text, and it is an evident détournement of the catholic chant known as "veni sancte spiritus"

I think that the line "send forth from the sky the radiance of your light " fits better to Lucifer, the "Light Bringer", than to a white pigeon ; )

I created this track from just only one audio-file: the recorded voice of kalamun while he was chanting that line.

I just used that audio source for this piece and absolutely no other sound.

beAst regards

deviLs g."
