Biography
Arcanum Inferi is an italian black metal band formed in 2009.
To music the complex ermetic/alchemical symbology, describing the operations and the rituals related to the pure occidental esoteric Tradition, telling the report of the journeys to hell by Artifex and his demonic meetings…This is the mission led by Arcanum Inferi.

"Arcanum" is etymologically bounded to the word "arca", so there's a clear allusion to a container which, obviously, carries something but in the mean time hide this "something"; from here the links with all that is mysterious, hidden to the mob. The word inferi is formed of "in" (inside) and "ferre" (to bring), so it suggests "to bring into". So we could translate Arcanum Inferi as "the whole of knowledge handed down in a hidden way to the people, that give to the artifex/miste/wizard the means to become aware of oneself". In simpler words, Arcanum Inferi propose our esoteric Tradition, with all its complex symbologies and the non less mysterious rituals, as the highest way to reach the eternity of the Awareness given by Lucifer. Conscious of this thing, we silently proceed on this Earth, children of the Night and of the shiny Sirius, warriors of a struggle without time, eternal Lords of the sidereal immensity set beyond human taste…
