Belphegor - Goatreich Fleshcult (2005)
This quoted song contains some interesting latin lines which go like this:
Festum Festorum
Festum Asinorum
Aurum de Arabia
Thus et Myrrham
Tulit in ecclesia
Virtus Asinaria
Orientis partibus
Adventavit Asinus
Pulcher et fortissimus
Virtus Asinaria
These lines are also the lyrics of "Chants for the devil" from the 2006 album "Pestapokalypse VI". These lines are interesting, because they imitate medieval latin lyrics - maybe you've heard from "Carmina Burana". The latin grammar has some little mistakes, but in general it's well done.
The translation is:
the feast of the feasts
the feast of the donkeys
gold from Arabia
frankincense and myrrh
brought into the church
the virtue of the donkey.
Form the regions of the orient
came the donkey
beautiful and strong,
Virtue of the Donkey.
I like the line "feast of the feasts". Even more I like the term of this grammatical phenomenon.
It's called a "paronomastic genitive of intensity". "Paronomastic" comes from the greek "par - same" and "onoma - name". So you take the genitive form from the same word to use it to intensify. The best-known example therefor is "the book of the books" as a synonym for the bible.
Grammatical aspects like this one turns me on... huuh!

Belphegor - Lucifer Incestus
Belphegor - Lucifer Incestus (2003)
The album "lucifer incestus" (maculated/ outrageous lucifer) contains several latin refrains.
In the title track they sing converte linguam tuam in natibus meis, which means turn your tongue in my butt.
Other refrains can be found:

Other refrains can be found:
- Diaboli Virtus in lumbar est - Devil's virtue is in the loin (better would be: diaboli viruts in lumbo est.)
- Te invoco O Sathana - I invoke you, Satan
- De gloria missae sanguinis - About the glory of the blood's mass
- Inflamate Christianos! - Burn the Christians!
Arcturus - Aspera Hiems Symfonia
Arcturus - Aspera Hiems symfonia (1996)
Listening to the old Arcturus record which I like alot, I've just recognized that it has a latin title. Not to see the wood for the trees! It means: harsh winter symphony.
That's for the moment,
