Album Notes & Community Reviews

The anonymous French collective's third full-length opens the trilogy completed by 'Fas - Ite, Maledicti, in Ignem Aeternum' and 'Paracletus'. Its title adapts Christopher Wren's epitaph in St Paul's Cathedral, and its theological program draws heavily on the writings of Georges Bataille across seventy-seven minutes.
