Cover art for Genesis lyrics by Ghost

I know this is an instrumental but let me just put a magnifying glass on something about this that I find really cool. Opus Eponymous is such a brilliant record even by the way it's laid out, it doesn't sound like it but it's really a subtle concept record/rock opera. The band introduces themselves with Con Clavi Con Dio, We're here to worship Satan and bring about his reign. Then it goes to Ritual, saying that this rock show/album is actually a ritual, not just some album. Then as it goes through Satan Prayer, a direct parody of parts of actual sermons in Christian churches, then Death Knell is how we are very close to anti-Christ being here, in fact so close we can hear the bells calling in the end of the world. Prime Mover is about the literal act of Satan impregnating a nun to conceive the anti-Christ and then this, Genesis, is his birth. The beginning of the end.
