Exegesis
Passeth Now the Mantle of Dawn.
The tune of an incantation, a significant cry, the mien of the operator; these have a natural leading power over the soul upon which they are directed, drawing it with the force of mournful patterns or tragic sounds - for it is the reasonless soul, not the will or wisdom, that is beguiled by music, a form of sorcery which raises no question.
Henceforth the ideal that is Hæresiarchs of Dis came into being in the late twentieth century through the perversity of Cernunnos. Misanthropic principles were given form, that humanity as a whole is inherently improper, resulting in a cacophony of wantonness, a direct retaliation against morality and stagnation. Passeth now the mantle of dawn so that all may rest their weight. Consummatum Est. Hæresiarchs of Dis is a manifestation of hate.
The music invokes satanic passages, suites of orchestrated divergence, raw brutality and operatic leitmotifs. The result is a symphonic sweep of blasphemy and melancholy. The music has been described as epic underground USBM with eclectic and atmospheric parts akin to Leviathan musing (mid-era) Emperor.
