Genus Ordinis Dei were established in 2011 from a circle of friends residing in the same town. Between 2011 and 2012, the band sculpted its musical identity, melding the new millennium metal with symphonic sonorities.
At the start of 2012, their first self-produced album came out, "The Middle", heavily backed by an intensive run of live shows throughout Italy and Europe.
In 2013, thanks to their greatly received first album, they engaged with Mr Fabrizio Scotti, who has been working in the Italian music industry for many years. Together they started a project that opened up an opportunity to work with Mr Marco “Maki” Coti Zelati (Lacuna Coil) as producer.
With this new heavy crew, Genus Ordinis Dei started the recording of the new EP in February 2014, at the JDM Studio of Mr Jonas Macullo.
By late 2014 their new discographic project was completed, and since signing a world wide deal with Metal Music Bookings & Management the band are ready to take the world by symphonic storm. Stay tuned for news coming soon!

Genus Ordinis Dei Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Small man
I'm ready
One step
No look back
My faith stands
Your gaze rips my dress I'm the oppressed
Take a look at my shape
You cover your face
I walk towards your Lord
Trampling men in your home
I have something to say
Your torment fades away
You ask me for the light
I'll give your just a fight
You want to drink my tears
I'll drown you in fear
The olive branch is your shield
I have the fire in me
Your sword points to the ground
I turn you face-down
Eager servant
Are you ready?
Like it or not
Today
I'll break your Cross

Ravens from the sky (renuntiato)
(abiurato)

(corruito)
I blow on your lights (renuntiato)
(abiurato)

Ravens in the room (renuntiato)

My wind blesses you (renuntiato)

Davanti alla nostra famiglia
Nega e rinuncia sotto giuramento
I Eleanor
Daughter of the Red Snake
I stand up and spit on you my bane
In ginocchio e a mani giunte
Purifica la tua anima e pentiti
I foresee a lake of fire
Demons burning of desire
I hear the drums of a Cadence of War
A Greyhouse that opens its doors
La tua anima è posseduta
Tu sei il nido in cui cresce il demonio
Tu sei la piaga
Tu sei il volto del male
I address you
pathetic citizen
I'll walk in your house and
I'll devour your children
Ordino che sia messa sotto
Le cure dell'Arcangelo
Che il demone che vive in lei
Sia estirpato e distrutto
I Eleanor
I swear
I force myself
To be your servant (your servant)
I don't regret.
The lyrics of Genus Ordinis Dei's song "Abjuration" are dark and intense, filled with themes of defiance, power, and spiritual conflict. The song opens with a strong declaration to "Open the gates" which sets the stage for a bold and unapologetic narrative. The singer asserts their readiness and determination, refusing to look back as their faith stands firm. This sense of conviction and resolve is palpable throughout the lyrics, painting a picture of a defiant individual ready to confront challenges head-on.
As the lyrics progress, the tone shifts to a more confrontational and accusatory one, with the singer addressing an oppressive force symbolized by a gaze that "rips my dress." The imagery of being oppressed and then defiantly stepping forward to confront this force adds a layer of empowerment to the narrative. The singer challenges the oppressor, calling attention to their own form and strength while the oppressor cowers and covers their face in response.
The lyrics then delve into a battle of spiritual and mental fortitude, with references to offering a fight instead of light, drowning in fear, and wielding fire against a shield. This contrast between light and darkness, fear and courage, creates a complex dynamic of power struggle and resistance. The singer asserts their dominance over their oppressor, turning their sword face-down and preparing to break their cross, symbolizing a symbolic overthrow of oppressive forces.
The latter part of the lyrics introduces elements of ritualistic incantations and exorcisms, with references to demonic possession, purifying the soul, and banishing evil forces. The singer, identified as Eleanor, embraces their role as a powerful force to be reckoned with, issuing commands and orders to vanquish darkness and cleanse the soul. The song concludes with a solemn oath of servitude, where Eleanor vows to be a servant but not without a sense of power and determination, expressing a willingness to take on the challenges ahead without regret. Overall, "Abjuration" is a powerful and intense song that explores themes of defiance, spiritual conflict, and empowerment in the face of oppression.
