about
Birthing Homunculi Part II: Sigil Insidious- A synopsis by Stevie Boiser:
For the Homunculous, the only quality that overshadows his devious nature is his curiosity. Though his newfound powers have made him the most powerful being on Earth, there is still much that he does not know, and the only way to acquire both more knowledge and power is to repeat the event that took place in Xerxes but on a much larger scale.
He begins by expelling what he perceives to be imperfections from his body and, and a result, begins to give birth to seven homunculi; Wrath, Pride, Gluttony, Lust, Envy, Sloth, and Greed...
Now, going by the moniker of "Father", he uses his children as pawns to infiltrate the military industrial complex, stage uprisings, and attacks to provoke his citizen's lust for conquest. This grants him two things; a means to push the borders of the nation he wishes to sacrifice, as well as a smoke screen to prevent these puppets from bearing witness to their true ruler... Father, the Shadow King.
Once he has amassed enough land and people for his sacrifice, he orders the construction of an underground Transmutation Circle, the likes of which have never been seen...
Sigil Insidious.
With that under construction, he only needs one remaining piece to complete his puzzle; the lives of five others who have seen the eye of truth. If he can acquire these sacrifices and perform the ritual on The Promised Day, he will be born anew.
Those who remain will bare witness to the birth of a new God that all the cosmos will revere.

lyrics
(Stevie Boiser)
Shrouded in sinister secrecy.
Arcane alchemy births pieces of me.
Willing my children into existence,
A force from which there is no resistance.
Birthing homunculi, embodiment of sin.
Casting out these imperfections, my ultimate scheme begins.
Using my seven deadly children and desires of man.
I string and harness the military of this chaotic land.
Pushing its borders beyond boundaries once perceived.
Alchemic atrocities, these puppets have been deceived.
Wrath, Pride, Gluttony, Lust, Envy, Sloth, and Greed.
Our goal is strangulation.
For each task will be assigned, children
We will reap the souls of this nation.
Populating propaganda, a constant state of war.
Blinded solders commit deeds of which they will abhor.
Orchestrating ominous onslaughts the Shadow King unspoiled.
Our territory stained by scarlet soil.
(Guitar Solo 1 by Nick Padovani)
(Guitar Solo 2 by Christian Muenzner)
Beneath the Surface... Sigil Insidious
Transmutation Circle... Unparalleled
Guiding the flow of this nation the Shadow King..
Homunculous!
And artificial children fit to do his bidding.
Terrifying powers gifted by their crimson core.
Indispensable tools of war.
(Guitar Solo 3 by Christian Muenzner)
Wrath, Pride, Gluttony, Lust, Envy, Sloth, and Greed.
Our goal is strangulation.
For each task will be assigned, children
We will reap the souls of this nation.
Seeking sovereign sacrifices who've been beyond the gate.
Human transmutation has forever changed their fates.
Perilous preparations, the promised day is near.
The birth of a new god all the cosmos will revere!
Limits of my abilities are unknown,
And the depths of my schemes will haunt your very dreams.
Perilous preparations, the promised day is near.
The birth of a new god all the cosmos will revere!
Limits of my abilities are unknown,
And the depths of my schemes will haunt your very dreams.
Perilous preparations, the promised day is near.
The birth of a new god all the cosmos will revere!

I'm a big fan of The Faceless middle two albums and when I saw Lyle Cooper was on this album I knew I needed to check it out. I bought the discography almost instantly, reminds me a little of The Faceless and a bit more of Fallujah who I also adore. Well worth the money, Support these great Musicians!

My first exposure to Inferi was seeing them live with Shadows of Intent. They were supporting this album. Unbelievably awesome live show and the greatest possible way to discover this amazing band. Love everything they produce.
