IMPERATORIA TENEBRIS PRAVITA

Before the word, there was noise.

Before the album, there was this demo:

a raw, unpolished scream that marked the birth of the ongoing series of the Great Work.

This first recording is more than a mere draft or experiment —

it is the original echo of a vision still unfolding.

From here, in 2017 emerged the concept that would later place the foundations to the creation of its direct sequel: “奴隶制度没有远去 是一个生后黑暗里” (Slavery has not gone away, it is a darkness that follows after death), and is shaping its third part: “黑度” (Nigredo), which is currently in production.

While “奴隶制度没有远去 是一个生后黑暗里” deals greatly on personal struggle, ego, delusions and the violent and magickal means to break from the chains that hinder the spirit, “奴隶制度” is a treaty of addiction, meaninglessness and the masochistic desires that prelude the first awakening.

Originally released on a limited 5 tape run, the demo is now available for streaming on Spotify.

No commercial pulse. No intention to please.

Only the urge to expose what still festers beneath the skin.
