As the tides change and the flames mount, Papa Emeritus II and the Group of Nameless Ghouls
reflect upon man's fall and the Antichrist's rise.
In the year of 13, the second phase of Papa Emeritus II and the Group of Nameless Ghouls
begins with the release of the sophomore psalm INFESTISSUMAM. Papa Emeritus II succeeded
Papa Emeritus at the conclusion of phase one in the year of 12, and the Nameless Ghouls joined
him under the unholy church's current moniker Ghost B.C.—the "B.C." is silent when spoken
aloud, please remember that. The name is also phonetically written [goʊst]. Their rituals demand
reverence and praise, fortified through a delivery of sweetly satanic melodies, snaking distorted
riffs, and vaudevillian keyboards.
The world's introduction to the troupe, the year of 10's Opus Eponymous, closed with "Genesis",
a foretelling of the Antichrist's coming. He is here now on INFESTISSUMAM and shall be treated
accordingly.
Here are the details. This collection was captured to tape in Christian epicenter Nashville, TN with
the help of producer Nick Raskulinecz. It will now be disseminated through newly formed Loma
Vista Recordings and Republic Records.
As for the story itself, this is what you should be prepared to hear and see.
"INFESTISSUMAM"—Latin for "The greatest threat"—refers to the Antichrist as being the biggest
danger to the Christian world, and ironically a choir conducted by Papa Emeritus II heralds His
onset.
"PER ASPERA AD INFERI", translated to "Through Hardship to Hell", slyly dissects the
overblown ambitions of youth who can't come to terms with their own insignificance. All of their
sanctimonious gloating forges a pact with the Devil. This hubris is the most tragic of flaws.
"SECULAR HAZE" refers to the mist that sweeps over the earth as His power slowly takes hold.
"JIGOLO HAR MEGIDDO" talks of the Antichrist moving among us in the form of an attractive
young man. Driven by lust, females flock to him and, after "the act," dub him the Antichrist. The
first half ends with "GHULEH/ZOMBIE QUEEN" a dirge ballad that mourns the passing of days
gone by, wrongly yearning for the past.
"YEAR ZERO" laughs at the reaction of small individuals to His arrival as its bellowing bombast
pays homage to the horned subterranean god. "BODY AND BLOOD" deals with the cannibalistic
ideal of communion, while "IDOLATRINE" shines light on the church's preoccupation with
attracting sheep. "DEPTH OF SATAN'S EYES" overturns the notion that intellectualism and free-
thinking are a work of the Devil and, in fact, man's greatest tools. Everything leads up to
"MONSTRANCE CLOCK". It's a ritualistic event involving a ministry coming together to witness
the consummation and birth of the Antichrist. Sexually charged and demonically conveyed,
procreation stands regarded as one of the most utterly evil works of Satan. Ironically, it's the
source of life.
Speaking of life, Papa Emeritus II and the Group of Nameles Ghouls invite all to witness their
rituals on stage. The front row remains continually comprised of females willing to do anything for
Papa Emeritus II as a dramaturgical exposition of the Antichrist's ascent unfolds on stage. Rituals
have taken place in front of sold out audiences across the world and at festivals such as
Download, Orion Music + More, Coachella, and more. The congregation has grown to include
such high-profile members as James Hetfield of Metallica, Philip Anselmo of Down and Pantera,
Fenriz of Darkthrone who has the honor of being the first public supporter, and Dave Grohl of Foo
Fighters and Nirvana, who participated in the recorded ritual on a cover of ABBA's "I'm a
Marionette".
The age of INFESTISSUMAM is formally underway. Allow Papa Emeritus II and the Group of
Nameless Ghouls to open your mind or simply play witness.
Either way, you're under their spell now.
