Cornelius, the band's chief lyricist, stated on the band's website that much of the lyrics have Satanic undertones, and that it wasn't a coincidence; he believes that part of the formation of what metal is today is due to evil and the rhetorical figure of Satan, who in turn is praised on the song "Red Music Diabolos", claiming, "our crazy music has to come from somewhere."[citation needed]
Conceptedit
The album's themes are based on various philosophers and deities, all of which have a single song based on them.
As taken from the album's booklet: "Ten songs, ten wheels of time To be buried in the body, Grave of the mind - Chained to an infinite universe Where night is the rule Ten songs, ten pills To make the known look unknown And the ancient feel new - Pills against the ageless ills Ten songs, ten rites To purify the spirit - Demons talking hard And demons talking soft:
First, Gebura, for justice Second, Munin for knowledge Third, Munch, for creativity Fourth, Epictetus, for virtue Then Dionysus, for pleasure Sixth, Diabolos, for music Seventh, the Virgin, for fertility Eighty, the Prophet, for charity Ninth, Odin, for protection Last, for light, the sungod Apollon
Ten songs, ten stories of Extreme music science - Solefald proceed to play
In the album's booklet, the songs "Red Music Diabolos" and "Dionysify this Night of Spring" are incorrectly listed track five and track six, respectively.
Blabbermouth.net's review was favorable, writing, "in a mire of screaming pocket Satanists, Solefald offer a tangible break from the norm. That their desire for experimentation has previously led to threats from conservative black metal zealots must surely be recommendation enough for you to bend your brain around this album."[2]
