Weirdo Shrine Built up like a grand ritual spanning over four separate rites in 45 minutes, the band proves they are capable of creating an atmosphere of rising momentum that grips the listener’s attention like a hypnotist would. Like watching four episodes of your favorite dark sci-fi series, the tracks unfurl in front of your ears, each more action packed and weird than the next one. Favorite track: Manzareck’s Secret.

Alex Koppert This is the right music to fall asleep with, to ease your mind: hypnotizing. I never make it to the last song, which is accidentally my favorite.
This music is disturbing the comforted but comforts the disturbed (On U Sound) Favorite track: Animus In Decay.

The Veiled Man’s waiting for us to make the move -ah- To leak the secret that are buried in fumes -ah- Once they find out what it is It’s hard to keep The Veiled Man asleep Once you find out how it feels It’s hard to cling on to it Oh, you wanted it more You wanted it here The love that I have for you feels so surreal You turn your eyes on me I sense the vanity The Veiled Man is waking but there is no time to breathe The secret to be found, the tears to flood the ground The curse’s for you to sort, Not me to fill the void What’s it for? You tell me The love that I have for you feels so surreal You tell me, what’s it like To feel the pain but feel so dead alive Feel so dead alive, feel so dead alive I feel so dead alive! Oh, how I want you to be What you’re destined to be, yeah The fear and the trust combined with lust Feels like you’re breathing, in the dust, yeah. I’m craving the thing you wanted more I crave it like the end of this song. I wish you came to relief me from this pain But you’re just here to take the blame

I am, I am silver light, I am, I am the god’s sight I am, I am the earth’s truth I am, I am everything that’s pure I am, I am water I am, I am fire I am, I am the pure life For I’m the one you love And I’m the one you curse I am, I am golden light I am, I am the god’s eyes I am, I am misery I am, I am energy I am, I am venom I am, I am no one I am, I am tension For I’m the one you love And I’m the one you cursed Fire, water is burning my skin Just like them when they’ve found my sins Forgiven I’ve found peace Forgiven I’ve found your abyss Serpents of Saturn are calling my name They know I’m here to heal your pain The more I touch the truth The more you want me to soothe Ashes, ashes flowing by The fire that they made From bodies so divine I’ve seen you in my dreams before time That day you were giving me your light The more I want you here The more you pray at night Why you’re telling me all these lies Eyes are crawling deep, hands in disguise Why you keep on taking the same path The more I want you here, the more you hide

You care more than I could, than I could give away Tease me again and as long as you... Grab me by the skull until I... For I am sorrow and I am a lust, lust, lust, lust. I beg for forgiveness but then you run, run, run, run, away I'm sorrow, I'm lust I'm the one you should never, never trust I'm tension, I'm pain, I'm the one you want to turn into clay Run away, run away, run away Turn away, turn away, turn away I'm sorrow, I'm lust I'm the one you should never, never trust I'm tension, I'm pain, I'm the one you want to turn into clay. I've once begged for forgiveness but you just ran, ran, ran, ran, ran away I grabbed you by the sleeve but you've turned away Turn away, turn away, turn away, turn away, turn away.

I came to see you at your mass grave You’re my animus, animus in decay Once I found peace Once I found desire Once I found lust, lust in destruction I begged for love, at your mass grave You smiled at me and turned away, turned away Your birth was in ashes Your mother just a sin You crave for my emotions But you don’t know where I slit The moment I looked into Your soul to find me well You grabbed me by my darkness and threw away the pain Come back into my arms Give me some decay Come back into my arms and find a way to stay To stay, to stay, to stay You are my emotion, you’re the one I saved Creatures with their collars are begged to be enslaved Show me you’re imortal Find the way to your grave Animus you’re the one I chose to keep safe Children with their feathers They want to keep you sane The morning is ascending And you cry for your own grave I came to see you at your mass grave You’re my animus, animus in decay Once I found peace Once I found desire Once I found lust, lust in destruction I begged for love at your mass grave You smiled at me and turned away

about

Their journey started a long time ago, some say on Saturn, some say in the subconscious of the human psyche, coming out in different manners through the ages, channelled by mystics, witch doctors, shamans, free thinkers, free spirits. But we do know that what has become Codex Serafini travelled here from their home world on Enceladus in 2019 and crash landed
into the music scene of Sussex.

Invoking many styles of psychedelic rock from the recent human musical history to open the minds of their human audience to the other world, and higher plane.

After releasing two EP’s, ‘Serpents of Enceladus’ in 2020 and ‘Invisible Landscape’ in 2021 Codex Serafini embarked on their most immersive journey so far creating what would become ‘The Imprecation Of Anima’ an exploration of the self, the duality of the human existence. The album is heavy, much heavier than their previous output and the albums longest song, ‘Animus in Decay’ is longer than either of the bands previous EP’s.

It snakes and weaves an epic motif through the wilderness of the sometimes barren lands of the unconsciousness, focusing the mind with it’s almost heavy metal mantra and using this to open up the third eye to the realisation of our mortal existence. The whole album is a pilgrimage into ones inner self and it’s relationship with it’s own shadow in it’s truest form, two parts coming together as a whole.
