Swallow the Sun, Finnish gods of Doom and hopeless melancholy, have just released their fourth album "New Moon" - excellent black ans slow lava - on CD as well as live.
The CD's inlay has a blazon on it's back side, which contains a latin saying:
Unusquisque amoris damnatus ipse ut famulus miseriae genuflectet
Finest classical latin, grammatically perfect and well balanced written.
(The genitive form amoris belongs to damnatus. Words with juridical meanings use the genitive to express the reason of charge. It's also possible that the genitive expresses the punishment (which would be condemned to love), but this is just the case with capitis and adjective forms. That's why I've translated it as written above.)
Everyone condemned because of love himself will kneel like a servant of misery.
Finally, perfect music, perfect latin, what more do you want?
