Fidem from MMXXIII by Hiemis

from MMXXIII, released December 31, 2023
Malleus Maleficarum, the most famous of all books on witchcraft, was written in 1486 by two Dominican monks. Immediately, and throughout the following three centuries, it became the indispensable manual and the final authority for the Inquisition, for all judges, magistrates and priests, Catholic and Protestant, in the fight against witchcraft in Europe. It covered the powers and practices of witches, their relationships with the devil, and their discovery. The Inquisition, the stake, the torture, mental and physical, of the crusade against witchcraft: all this is known. And behind each of the bloodthirsty acts was this book, both a justification and an instruction manual.

All songs composed, performed and produced by HIEMIS between May and September 2023.

All lyrics taken from Malleus Maleficarum book.
