Osmi Putnik - Maleficium Taciturnitatus

Osmi Putnik - Ulična molitva (1986)

The Croatian metal band Osmi Putnik ("Eight Traveller/ Passenger") released their first full lenght record in 1986. The last song "Maleficium Tacitunitatus" contains Latin and Croatian lyrics.

Someone wrote in a comment at youtube:

Diabolus dominus - Devil Lord
corrumpere non potuit - could't break/ ruin/ corrupt
(here, the accusativ case is missing: couldn't break whom? - maybe the band means: "the devil could't break the Lord", so "Dominum" would have been the correct form)

lise sencie simenca mandukaren - (not Latin)

Veritas dobi - truth (not Latin)
saecula casen - centuries (not Latin)
greve en lucie - (not Latin)
en plom file obscuritatus -  (not Latin) of the darkness

Maleficium taciturnitatus - crime in Silence

The lyrics are quite strange. It seems to me that someone just picked some words out of the dictionary. Also, the two adjectives "obscuritatus" and "taciturnitatus" are no words used correctly in ancient times, but you understand what they should mean.

Ghost - Infestissumam

Ghost - Infestissumam (2013)

"Infestissumam" is the superlative form of "infestus - hostile, threatening, dangerous". It's accusative case feminine: whom? - "the most hostile one". Because of the "u" instead of "i" it sounds like archaic Latin - like the English pronouns "thou" and "thee".

The lyrics are written in Latin and Italian, although the grammar isn't always correct:

Il padre - The father
Il filio - The son
Et lo spiritus malum - and the bad spirit
Omnis caelestis - every celestial one
Delenda est - must be destroyed

Anti Cristus - Antichrist
Il filio de Sathanas - Satan's son
Anti Cristus - Antichrist
Il filio de Sathanas - Satan's son
Infestissumam - the most hostile one (again, this is feminine!)

The second song is called: Per aspera ad inferi. This means "Through hardships into the hell." The grammatically correct phrase would be: per aspera ad inferos.

The Tower - Hic Abundant Leones

 The Tower - Hic Abundant Leones (2014)

The title of the reacord means Here we have an abundance of lions. In old maps this saying (sometimes together with a picture of a lion) was used to express that this area is still unexplored and might be dangerous.

The first song title is Non Omnis Moriar. You can find these three words in the poem Carmina III.30, written by the famous ancient Roman writer Horace (he who also wrote Carpe Diem). In this poem he says: I'm not gonna die wholly. With an abundance of self-confidence he says that he has created something which will last longer than eternal bronze, so his work will survive.

Portrait - Crimen Laesae Maiestatis Divinae

Portrait - Crimen Laesae Maiestatis Divinae

In May 2011, the Swedish Heavy Metal band Portrait gonna release their second album which has a latin album title, as you've already read above. They bring us fine old-school heavy metal in the tradition of Mercyful Fate and others...

I'm also proud that I can add not just another black metal band - which isn't a critique. But it's nice to see that there aren't just evil black and white guys running through foggy forests out there which use latin chants for singing about Satan and darkness... well, ehm, Portrait sings about Occultism as well. Maybe they are a black metal band, but they don't know it yet. We'll see.

By the way, the album's title means The crime of having offended/ injured the divine majesty or, in other words: blasphemy.
"Crimen Laesae Maiestatis" is the medieval term for having committed a crime by acting against the majesty or insulting him by words.
