Ritus Cruentus from Canticum by Rove Monteux

"Rove Monteux's 'Canticum' is a masterful odyssey into the darkest recesses of the human experience, articulated through a series of experimental musical compositions that traverse the spectrum of our deepest fears, emotions, and existential contemplations. This album is not merely a collection of tracks; it is a profound journey through the metaphysical landscapes of despair, chaos, and the quest for meaning amidst the void. From the ceaseless encroachment of darkness in 'Tenebrae Incessantes' to the haunting void of 'Silentium Mortis', each piece serves as a meditation on various facets of the human condition—be it the infernal tumult of 'Fragor Inferni', the profound loneliness of 'Desolatio Profunda', or the liberating yet chaotic breaking of 'Vincula Fracta'. The album delves deeper with 'Visio Tenebrarum' and 'Abyssus Animae', exploring the psychological abysses within, and culminates in the raw, unbridled expression of 'Flammae Furoris'. 'Canticum' is not just heard; it is experienced, offering a cathartic passage through the shadows that bind the soul, echoing the eternal human cry against the cruel indifference of the cosmos."

1. "Canticum Doloris" - Song of Sorrow: A mournful dirge that speaks to the heartache and agony of loss, echoing the universal lament of those left behind.
2. “Fragor Inferni" - Roar of Hell: This piece captures the chaotic and terrifying cacophony of the infernal realms, where screams blend with the sound of eternal flames.
3. “Desolatio Profunda" - Profound Desolation: A haunting melody that embodies the soul-crushing loneliness and despair of being utterly abandoned in a desolate, uncaring universe.
4. "Vincula Fracta" - Broken Chains: Symbolising the brutal and violent breaking of bonds, both physical and metaphorical, leading to uncontrollable chaos and suffering.
5. "Silentium Mortis" - The Silence of Death: An eerie silence that is more terrifying than any sound—a void where life once thrived, now suffocated by the cold embrace of death.
6. "Visio Tenebrarum" - Vision of Darkness: A piece that delves into the unsettling depths of the human psyche, exploring the horrors that lurk in the shadows of our minds.
7. “Tenebrae Incessantes" - Ceaseless Shadows: A composition that evokes the relentless, creeping darkness that knows no bounds, consuming light and hope alike.
8. "Ritus Cruentus" - Bloody Rite: Capturing the raw, primal energy of a blood ritual, this composition is both horrifying and fascinating, revealing the darkness within the human soul.
9. "Abyssus Animae" - Abyss of the Soul: An exploration of the deepest, most hidden parts of the human spirit, where despair and madness dwell side by side.
10. "Flammae Furoris" - Flames of Fury: A fierce and intense piece that embodies the uncontrolled rage and destruction that can erupt from the darkest corners of the human condition, leaving only ashes in its wake.
