The Arcane Roof-Garden A sanctuary where to savour a slow suffering, where the silence is a limb of rage drilled deeply into the amygdala My twisted senses crave for a symbiosis revealed by ecstatic visions of agony and trapped inside this garden so vicious When the gaze meets the abyss, there is no turning back from the shrine of such revelation A sublime thirst for torture leads my eyes over lashed and maimed bodies, which stand still like a giant bleeding tree Beneath the mosaic of my creation pleasure seems to be a metaphysical illusion that runs along the cortex as adrenaline Beyond the sleep of reason every wound is an empty truth The symmetry of amputations flow through the signs hidden in hypostatic stains, as victims were rotten fruits that ripen on hundred of hanging corpses to which I belong A ravenous unconsciousness feeds the arcane duality of death and sex drives and I get pleasure from their purulent stench Stare at disgusting nemesis of the corpse tree of knowledge Cartilage, skin and sores are the pillars of our wretched way to be food for the gods.

about

THANATOSCOPE is a concept mainly based on serial killers and profiling. The thematic map behind the lyrics features topics of forensic psychology and anthropology, criminology and forensic medicine which are all linked to disciplines of occult philosophy and alchemy. The name “thanatoscope” comes from the ancient Greek θάνατος + σκoπέω, which means “to observe death”, and (in our case) it refers simultaneously to a modern tool as to some past and almost lost experiments. In forensic medicine, it refers to a particular thermometer employed to establish the time of decease according to the corpse temperature (I leave to you to figure out where it goes...). Different temperatures are usually determined by the different conditions the body has been exposed to (i.e. water, humidity, dry weather etc.). Back in time, the thanatoscope has been linked to real anatomical experiments conducted by Athanasius Kircher (1601-1680), who was a Jesuit scholar and “master of a hundred arts” quite skilled on oriental disciplines, Egyptology and, above all, a big fan of Leonardo Da Vinci’s work. The thanatosope has been also source of inspiration for two horror/thriller movies: “Four Flies On Grey Velvet” a 1971 movie by Dario Argento and, more recently, “Imago Mortis”, a 2008 international co-production (Italy+Spain+Ireland) directed by Stefano Bessoni.
Therefore, bearing in mind the information above, the track-list contains 4 songs which represent a vicious description of ritual and violent crimes lived through the eyes of 4 different pathological executioners.
