Carbonized in Cruciform

The Black Dahlia Murder

Subtitled the ‘Ritual of Conjuration,’ this track depicts a gathering of Satan’s disciples brutally sacrificing a trio of women in a ‘black inversion’ of the Crucifiction.

The lyrical narrative implies a broader struggle by the narrating party against the worshippers of the Christian God, challenging His primacy. The imagery mixes Judeo-Christian mythology with that more akin to polytheistic, Greco-Roman ritual of animal sacrifice for divine favour.
