"This is the first demo for submitting Antiquus Scriptum, a band that was formed in 1998, after some changes in line-up, Sacerdos Magus (former bassist of the Firstborn Evil) and Helskir (now a member of The Firstborn) joined and recorded in May 2000 this epic tribute to the dark ages through a brutal and heinous work with 18 min.This demo-tape is divided into two topics: "Bula Ad Extirpenda (Innocentio IVth, MCCLII - The Saint Office Of Inquisition Of Faith)" and "In Pulverem Reverteris" accompanied by an Intro "Fleurs du Mal" and an Outro "A Nightside Of Eden "where the thematic approach of the historical facts of the dark ages, Christianity, calamity and injustice. Themes are very fast, impressive, with a voice strong and aggressive, combined with the sumptuousness of the keyboards and programmed devastating drums. These themes are interspersed with choruses type Gregorian chants dating back to the past in question. The sound shows influences from the nordic black metal but more extreme. It is intended for all lovers of the most cruel and ultimate Black Metal of this Lusitanian realm. Lusitanian brutality!" 9 (Carina Martins - Riff Magazine)
