Inpestae - Cold and Dead
Just a short comment: A guy sent me the link to this EP of the French raw black metal band Inpestae. The name sounds latin and eventually refers to the noun "pestis - pestilence".
But "pestae" isn't a correct form of this word. The prefix "in-" is normally used for negations.
There is the adjective "infestus" which means dangerous, ready to attack, but I don't think that the band meant this word, especially because the ending "-ae" indicates feminine plural.
On the quoted EP there is one track which has the latin title usque ad sanguinem incitati. I don't know if the lyrics are in latin, too - I couldn't understand what he's singing.
The plural form incitati means provoked. In latin, you normally used this word with a direct object: to provoke somebody/ something. The term usque ad sanguinem - up to the blood doesn't make sense at all. If you translate this phrase literally into German, you get the correct phrase gereizt bis aufs Blut, which means extremely provoked. Maybe, this phrase exists in French as well, I don't know. So, let me know!
Dissection - Reinkaos
I was asked to check the lyrics of the latest Dissection record. I found
a lot of strange words which are definitely not latin but another
language I don't want to go into that right now, simply because I've
no clue about it. Some words look a little bit like latin but they aren't
and a few ... yes, you guess right... so:
* Starless Aeon *
Dies Irae Dies Illa Solvet Cosmos In FavillaVocamus Te Aeshma-Diva
Here, Dissection used the famous Dies Irae-theme but exchanged the
latin word "saeculum - century" for the greek one "cosmos/kosmos -
cosmos, order". So, "kosmos" is the opposite of "chaos", another
word of great importance to this record:
Days of wrath, that day will dissolve the order in ashes.
(By the way, you need the accusative: whom does that day dissolve?,
so the correct greek form would be "kosmon")
We call you, Aeshma-Diva (a deamon of Wrath)
* Chaosophia *
Lucifer Illuminatio Mea! The song title means The love for Chaos. The rest is quite simple, even
to those who don't understand latin: Lucifer, my illumination!
