Chants of Evil

The Visions of the Breathing Darkness

A Photobook on the Art of Black Metal by

Chérie, Metalphoto

(European performances)

Featuring Chris Slack Gravemusic

(North American performances) Hear the voice of the Bard ! Who present, past, and future sees; Whose ears have heard The Holy Word, That walked among the ancient trees,

Calling the lapsed soul, And weeping in the evening dew; That might control The starry pole, And fallen, fallen, light renew!

From: Hear the Voice of the Bard William Blake (1757-1827) 3 4 13 25 45 Hora Ruid

Discite, Moniti! Hora Ruid, hic hearet aqua Ad Portas, ibi tempus fugit

Veni, creator spiritus !
