'In Nomine Sanguinis' combines the sensual touch of the Italian band with a renowned songwriting brilliance and elegance, shaping the ultimate gothic metal pinnacle. Some of the intriguing lyrics conceived by leader and frontwoman Sonya Scarlet have roots in decadent romantic literature - Goethe's 'The Bride of Corinth' and Francis Marion Crawford's 'For the Blood Is the Life'; others represent a descent into the abyss of the human soul and the very esoteric nature of life. Overall, 'In Nomine Sanguinis' is the quintessential modern vampiric manifesto.
