Album Themes/Concept

Anti-Christian: The album title sets the tone, with songs like “Raping Christianity” explicitly expressing hatred for Christianity and its values.

Violence and Destruction: Lyrics often depict scenes of violence and destruction, reflecting a general theme of rebellion and chaos.

Darkness and the Occult: The album delves into dark imagery and references to the occult. This isn’t just spooky, but rather revels in a darker power system.

Satanic Celebration: There’s an underlying glorification of Satanic figures and a rejection of Christian morality.

While not a strictly linear story, the album has a loose thematic concept. It can be interpreted as a descent into darkness and a celebration of Satanic power.

Track titles like “Kill For Satan (The King’s Birth)” and “Beyond The Grave (The King’s Reign)” hint at a narrative, but it’s more about atmosphere and feeling than a specific plot.

Album Mood

Aggressive and Relentless: The relentless drumming, tremolo-picked guitars, and Nag’s harsh vocals create a sonic assault that’s the core of the album’s mood.

Dark and Blasphemous: The album revels in anti-Christian imagery and dark themes, contributing to a sinister and unsettling feeling.

Triumphant Defiance: Underlying the aggression, there’s a certain twisted exuberance in celebrating the demonic and rejecting societal and religious norms.

Moments of Chaos: Some tracks emphasize a sense of uncontrolled chaotic energy and violence that goes beyond controlled power.
