Ecclesia - 'Ereptor Veræ Fidei' (official lyric video)

In conclavis tenebris
Manus a diabolo tenentur
Ut tempora eveniant
Petrus deber exuere
"Habemus papam" Roma corruit hoc die
Iste papa fallax est

Antipapa, ereptor verae fidei
Te regnante, sancta Ecclesia ruit

Is multidudinem fallit dolosis mendaciis
Nemo diffidit imperio ejus pravo
Susurri ejus venenati animos corrumpunt
Quam molesti sunt isti dies

Antipapa, ereptor verae fidei
Te regnante, sancta Ecclesia ruit

At spes stat fides nostra firma aeternae
Ecclesiae vincet in saecula saeculorum
Per tenebras et chaos stamus
Antipapae regnum non manebit

Domine Jesu, exhortabimur animas nostras
In antipapam, fortes manemus
Cum fide et amore, defendemus Petri
cathedram usque ad Judicii diem

Antipapa, ereptor verae fidei
Te regnante, sancta Ecclesia ruit

Antipapa, ereptor verae fidei
Te regnante, sancta Ecclesia ruit

Ecclesia: πενταμελές Γαλλικό doom (κατά βάση) metal συγκρότημα με Ελληνικό όνομα (εκκλησία). Δημιουργήθηκαν προ οκταετίας και αποκαλούν την μουσική τους «Witchfinding Metal of Doom». Γάλλοι που έχουν μελετήσει πολύ καλά το Σουηδικό power / doom metal ρεύμα των 90ς, το εμπέδωσαν πλήρως, το αφομοίωσαν και παρουσιάζουν την δική τους μουσική πρόταση - οπτική.

Έχουν κυκλοφορήσει ένα ep (το 2017) και δύο "ολοκληρωμένους" δίσκους ("De Ecclesiæ Universalis" ο πρώτος). Ο δεύτερος φέρει τον τίτλο "Ecclesia Militans" και "βγήκε" στις αρχές της άνοιξης, με το Γαλλικό συγκρότημα να μας λέει σχετικά: «We are proud to present our new witch-hunting soundtrack.»

Δελτίο τύπου: «Armed with purifying fire, blessed swords, and Holy Rage, Ecclesia's lyrical themes deal with the 12th Century dark medieval age of Holy Inquisition.

On Ecclesia Militans, one will find a perfect syncretism between traditional heavy metal and epic doom, recalling the likes of Candlemass, the UK's Solstice, and especially Tony Martin-era Black Sabbath.

Ecclesia's proselytism will convert fans of those as well as anyone who can feel the righteous fervor of medieval brimstone - now confess your sins!»
