02 The Sabbath of the Goat O! the heart of N.O.X. the Night of Pan. Duality: Energy: Death. Death: Begetting: the supporters of O! To beget is to die; to die is to beget. Cast the Seed into the Field of Night. Life and Death are two names of A. Kill thyself. Neither of these alone is enough.
3.
03 The Cry of the Hawk Hoor hath a secret fourfold name: it is Do What Thou Wilt. Four Words: Naught-One-Many-All. Thou-Child! Thy Name is holy. Thy Kingdom is come. Thy Will is done. Here is the Bread. Here is the Blood. Bring us through Temptation! Deliver us from Good and Evil! That Mine as Thine be the Crown of the Kingdom, even now. ABRAHADABRA. These ten words are four, the Name of the One.
4.
04 The Battle of the Ants That is no which is. The only Word is Silence. The only Meaning of that Word is not. Thoughts are false. Fatherhood is unity disguised as duality. Peace implies war. Power implies war. Harmony implies war. Victory implies war. Glory implies war. Foundation implies war. Alas! for the Kingdom wherein all these are at war.

5. Dinosaur 04:09
05 Dinosaur None are They whose number is Six: else were they six indeed. Seven are these Six that live not in the City of the Pyramids, under the Night of Pan. There was Lao-tzu. There was Siddhartha. There was Krishna. There was Tahuti. There was Mosheh. There was Dionysus. There was Mahmud. But the Seventh men called Perdurabo; for enduring unto The End, at The End was Naught to endure. Amen.

07 Steeped Horsehair Mind is a disease of semen. All that a man is or may be is hidden therein. Bodily functions are parts of the machine; silent, unless in dis-ease. But mind, never at ease, creaketh "I". This I persisteth not, posteth not through generations, changeth momently, finally is dead. Therefore is man only himself when lost to himself in The Charioting.
8.
08 Waratah-Blossoms Seven are the veils of the dancing-girl in the harem of IT. Seven are the names, and seven are the lamps beside Her bed. Seven eunuchs guard Her with drawn swords; No man may come nigh unto Her. In Her wine-cup are seven streams of the blood of the Seven Spirits of God. Seven are the heads of THE BEAST whereon She rideth. The head of an Angel: the head of a Saint: the head of a Poet: the head of An Adulterous Woman: the head of a Man of Valour: the head of a Satyr: and the head of a Lion-Serpent. Seven letters hath Her holiest name; and it is A B This is the Seal upon the Ring that is on the Forefinger of IT: and it is the Seal upon the Tombs of them whom She hath slain. Here is Wisdom. Let Him that hath Understanding count the Number of Our Lady; for it is the Number of a Woman; and Her Number is An Hundred and Fifty and Six.

9. Samson 00:39
09 Samson The Universe is in equilibrium; therefore He that is without it, though his force be but a feather, can overturn the Universe. Be not caught within that web, O child of Freedom! Be not entangled in the universal lie, O child of Truth!
10.
10 The Blind Webster It is not necessary to understand; it is enough to adore. The god may be of clay: adore him; he becomes GOD. We ignore what created us; we adore what we create. Let us create nothing but GOD! That which causes us to create is our true father and mother; we create in our own image, which is theirs. Let us create therefore without fear; for we can create nothing that is not GOD.
11.
11. Dewdrops 01:14
11 Dewdrops Verily, love is death, and death is life to come. Man returneth not again; the stream floweth not uphill; the old life is no more; there is a new life that is not his. Yet that life is of his very essence; it is more He than all that he calls He. In the silence of a dewdrop is every tendency of his soul, and of his mind, and of his body; it is the Quintessence and the Elixir of his being. Therein are the forces that made him and his father and his father's father before him. This is the Dew of Immortality. Let this go free, even as It will; thou art not its master, but the vehicle of It.
12.
12 Windlestraws The Abyss of Hallucinations has Law and Reason; but in Truth there is no bond between the Toys of the Gods. This Reason and Law is the Bond of the Great Lie. Truth! Truth! Truth! crieth the Lord of the Abyss of Hallucinations. There is no silence in that Abyss: for all that men call Silence is Its Speech. This Abyss is also called "Hell", and "The Many". Its name is "Consciousness", and "The Universe", among men. But that which neither is silent, nor speaks, rejoices therein.
13.
13 Pilgrim-Talk O thou that settest out upon The Path, false is the Phantom that thou sleekest, When thou hast it thou shalt know all bitterness, thy teeth fixed in the Sodom-Apple. Thus hast thou been lured along That Path, whose terror else had driven thee far away. O thou that stridest upon the middle of The Path, no phantoms mock thee. For the stride's sake thou stridest. Thus art thou lured along That Path, whose fascination else had driven thee far away. O thou that drawest toward the End of The Path, effort is no more. Faster and faster dos thou fall; thy weariness is changed into Ineffable Rest. For there is not Thou upon That Path: thou hast become The Way.
14.
14. Dragons 02:13
14 Dragons Thought is the shadow of the eclipse of Luna. Samadhi is the shadow of the eclipse of Sol. The moon and the earth are the non-ego and the ego: the Sun is that. Both eclipses are darkness; both are exceeding rare; the Universe itself is Light.
15.
15 Mulberry Tops Black blood upon the altar! and the rustle of angel wings above! Black blood of the sweet fruit, the bruised, the violated bloom-that setteth The Wheel a-spinning in the spire. Death is the veil of Life, and Life of Death; for both are Gods. This is that which is written: "A feast for Life, and a greater feast for Death!" in The Book of the Law. The blood is the life of the individual: offer then blood!

_________________________

Vittorio Sabelli is certainly to be counted among the most talented and leading musicians of the Italian underground metal, as demonstrated with DAWN OF A DARK AGE, INCANTVM and NOTTURNO, all projects in which he has poured not only the typical eclecticism of a technically gifted and inspired multi-instrumentalist, but also an extraordinary culture. With A.M.E.N. Sabelli makes his passion for Aleister Crowley manifest, setting to music some of the most enlightening writings from "The Book Of Lies." The musical imprint of the project, which exists in a delicate balance between jazz and extreme metal, can be compared to that impressed by John Zorn on his impromptu rock/metal lineups to narrate the occult and esotericism in music.
The first in a series of releases, in "The Book Of Lies - Liber I" everything revolves around the perverse sound of the clarinet, which Sabelli plays vigorously interweaving it with a classic metal instrumentation. Silken nocturnal melodies alternate with jazz grind sobs and sudden gallops between rock and metal, thus underlining the biting irony and the desecrating character of Crowley's writings. And on top of this, the amazing vocal performances of Matteo Vitelli and guest singer Erba del Diavolo (PONTE DEL DIAVOLO), which contributes to the occult charm of the album as much as the beautiful Luciana Lupe Vasconcelos' cover painting inspired by Babalon, Crowley's scarlet woman.
