Hellripper's James McBain explains the events that inspired the track “the song takes inspiration from a series of events that occurred in 17th Century France. Possession, witchcraft, child sacrifice & poisonings were at the heart of a large-scale investigation conducted during the reign of the Sun King (Louis XIV) after an extensive plot was unearthed within the court of Versailles, targeting members of the aristocracy and the King himself in order to gain power and influence; the scandal exploded when it was revealed that the royal favourite herself was partaking in black masses and had allegedly poisoned a younger rival to win back the King’s favour. "

THE AFFAIR OF THE POISONS
The child is ripped from the womb of the whore
As the altar of flesh soaks in blood
The candles burn bright in the shadow of gore
For the Blasphemous call of the dark
Drink from the chalice, this ichor of life
As the clandestine rites are pronounced
This black magic calls on the princes of Hell
With the force to beguile the crown

Vile congregation of the damned!

Black divinations bring power from hell
Manifest poisons and bless them with spell
Sin’s congregation with death and disease
Hail the eternal one!

Arcane ambition infecting the soul
Forged execrations to regain control
Grave premonitions of efforts obscene
Hail the infernal one!

The venom of vengeance in clandestine form
Will bring death to the traitors within
The outbreak of malice will unleash the storm
And blacken the might of the Sun
The profit of murder and lust for revenge
Decimates all that stand in the way
The father and sons die to end her torment
Drowned by hatred, they slowly decay

The sinister confessions of the cursed!

Black divinations bring power from hell
Manifest poisons and bless them with spell
Sin’s congregation with death and disease
Hail the eternal one!

Arcane ambition infecting the soul
Forged execrations to regain control
Grave premonitions of efforts obscene
Hail the infernal one!

The burning court awaits you now
Face the judgement
The punishment for broken vows

The heretics will die in pain
Face the torment
Endure the devastating shame

Black divinations bring power from hell
Manifest poisons and bless them with spell
Sin’s congregation with death and disease
Hail the eternal one!

Arcane ambition infecting the soul
Forged execrations to regain control
Grave premonitions of efforts obscene
Hail the infernal one!
