Nope, Rege Diabolicus is definitely the short track, I have the actual collectors edition of the CD with everything included, so it isn't mislabelled.



Plus, the lyrics include the title of the song over and over again, for example @ 1:40



Planning on rewriting this soon with a higher rating, this is one of the very few cd's that I never got tired of.



Enuma Elish isn't a bad track at all, it's one of my favourites, but I really think it doesn't fit in with the rest of the album, good to have some variety in the album though.This Message Edited On 05.15.08

Ah, okay, I hear it, so those two tracks are switched for me, gotcha, thanks. And I have the exact same opinion you do of Enuma with He, The Aethyr

If I were you I might check the times of your tracks with an official listing or something, sounds like a few might be mixed up.

Might not be, but no harm in making sure.

You said you have the collectors edition...everywhere I'm looking has Helios listed as the 2:52 track, but there's no question he's saying Rege Diabolicus in that song. Strange. Where did you get that version? (amazon seems to only have the regular one)

Ebay. Not sure what it is officially called, but I got a DVD with it, full booklet and fold out case.



If you're still not sure about it, here are correct lyrics for every song (I've checked them with my booklet), just a case of matching them up:

Of course, I'm just being pedantic here, so feel free to ignore me.This Message Edited On 05.15.08

Honestly, like the 3rd or 4th time I listened to this, I had it blasting in my car and it sounded like totally different songs (in a good way). There's a lot going on. I liked what I heard from earlier Rotting Christ as well, and I know you're a black metal man, so that would help explain why you will probably always like their older sound better.



edit: Thanks Crimson, but the other thing is, the version I have, Helios Hyperion (ostensibly Rege D) blends right into He, The A, which still puts those two out of order lol. Sheesh. This Message Edited On 05.15.08

Holy crap my track list was totally out of order, I hade Enuma Elish and Nemecic mixed up to. This sucks. And I'm seeing a half dozen different track lists (some have Phobos' Synagogue towards the end) so I'm afraid that even if I bought a hard copy it would still be lying to me lol.

Sweet man



It's comes off to me as only barely black metal which I think threw a lot of people off; it's awesome in a very different unique way.

I agree. This album is sooo much different than their early albums. Non Serviam is still their best IMO.

I have this and I've heard a lot of their albums, but they've always bored me. All these high ratings have caused me to listen to it a few more times though, just in case.

Their older shit is much better. Non Serviam is amazing.
