Belphegor - Goatreich - Fleshcult

Belphegor - Goatreich-Fleshcult (2005)

I've already written about the phrase "festum asinorum", but I've forgotten some more words.

~ The Cruzifixus - Anus Dei ~

Cruzifixus means The cruzified, Anus dei is God's anus/asshole.

~ Fornicationium et immundus diabolus ~

The noun fornicatio means arch or whorehouse or harlotry/prostitution. The ending -ium is incorrect, the form "fornicationum" would be genitive plural: of the arches/ whorehouses/ harlotry. Maybe Belphegor thought that "fornicationium" is a correct noun, so two translations are possible: a) the harlotry and the impure devil, or b) even the impure devil of the harlotry.

I think, the double meaning of this word goes back to ancient Roman times: it's certain that the arches of the Circus Maximus were used as little brothels, cheap and dirty ones.

Belphegor - Angeli Mortis De Profundis

Belphegor - Blood Magick Necromance (2011)

Soon, Belphegor gonna release their next bloody opus. Track nr. 5 has a latin title, which means Angels of death out of the depths. If there will be any latin phrases in the lyrics, I gonna explain them later...

... back again: Now I hold the new CD in my hands and reading the lyrics, I found two latin phrases:

The phrase natus in morte (in: Blood Magick Necromance) means born in death, the phrase ignis extotum corpas (in: Possessed Burning Eyes) means... actually nothing. "ignis" is "fire" and the two other words don't exist. Maybe Belphegor wanted to say Fire out of the whole body, which would be ignis ex toto corpore in latin.

Belphegor - Festum asinorum Chapter 2

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:

• 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!
