Missa Tenebris by XITAN

Missa Tenebris is a collection of Infernal Hymns composed, written and produced by Xitan.

The point of the Album is to deliver, fast paced and beat driven tracks, that start off with an atmospheric intro, transporting the listener to an infernal and apocalyptical Universe. With this Album, Xitan wants to deliver an opus that fuses multiple musical genres, from the Cinematic to the fast paced Electronic, and then spiced off with a hint of Blackened Industrial Metal for taste. The mixture of genres gives the album an organic feel, so that the listener does not feel like the music is purely generated by a computer, thus striking a balance between the Machine, the Musical Instrument, and the pure organic vocal work unraped by any computer corrective pitch editors such as autotune.

The message of the Album, which only the intellectual listener can comprehend by reading in between the lines of the lyrical poetry, is the abolishment of theistic religion, since Xitan believes the world would be a much better place if humanity acted on ethical behaviour, always seeking knowledge instead of motives based on fiction and the false belief system created by religion.

One should listen to the album as a form of entertainment, taking in the words with a pinch of salt and with the same mentality as one watches a fantasy or horror movie.

Xitan is a one-man band and thus everything the listener hears in the Album, has been created by him.
