The Magus previously explained that the new album delivers a more aggressive and dynamic sound than the first album, “Βυσσοδομώντας”, while keeping the devouring dark atmosphere the project’s music is known for. The album's sound has some unexpected and diabolically diverse moments that will make listeners feel uneasy.
According to The Magus, “The new album is a journey to Demonhood. The Truth lies Below not Above. The Six are Three. The Unholy Trinity. The Three are One. The Absolute. The Infernal pact.
“Musically, it is more edgy and vengeful. More aggressive and dynamic. Still theatrical and horrifying in nature, hellish and complex in performance. And as always there are these diabolically diverse moments that will surprise and will make you feel unease...but Lucifer has many names and many faces. In some parts, collaboration with top-level musicians and vocalists was deemed necessary to achieve maximum impact.”
"Daemonospohia" is pulsating Darkness in all its beauty and all its horror. A beacon of Luciferian Black Metal for Extraordinary People.”
For the album cover art, The Magus collaborated with Mexican artist Nestor Avalos, known for his work with numerous bands, including Exodus, Deicide and Rotting Christ. The artwork is an Infernal Triptych that portrays six infernal entities: Lucifer/Samael, Leviathan/Tiamat, and Belial/Satan. Nestor created a majestic painting of infernal wisdom and occult meanings, giving prominence to the Luciferian tradition and the music of the album.

The Magus was formed in 2022, following the dissolution of the legendary Greek black metal band Necromantia, which The Magus co-founded. He decided to end Necromantia after the death of his bandmate Baron Blood in 2019, releasing a final album, “To the Depths We Descend”, in 2021 as a tribute. A seminal figure in the extreme scene, The Magus’s storied history includes playing a pivotal role in the early days of Rotting Christ and co-founding the cult project Thou Art Lord alongside Sakis Tolis. For this new project, The Magus continues his legacy of uncompromising Luciferian Black Metal, bringing in long-time collaborators El on guitars and Maelstrom on drums to push the boundaries of the Hellenic sound.
