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!
Halls of Human Delights
Genus Ordinis Dei Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Tell them they can be better
And punish all those envying souls
Give them gold, give them whores
Give them wine and infect their wheat
Force the king to sell the crown
To pay for his mistakes
We made seas, we made seasons (we made)
We made dreams, we made reason (we create)
we create sins to fill our prisons
Halls of human delights
Feed their desire
Of total prevarication
Promise them tasty prizes
They won't enjoy for too long
Name this "Faith"
And they will blindly follow you
Lead them to the death they deserve
And eat their brains for the rest of forever
Give them gold, give them whores
Give them wine and infect their wheat
Force the king to sell the crown
To pay for his mistakes
We made seas, we made seasons (we made)
We made dreams, we made reason (we create)
we create sins to fill our prisons
Halls of human delights
We made seas, we made seasons (we made)
We made dreams, we made reason (we create)
we create sins to fill our prisons
Halls of human delights
The lyrics to Genus Ordinis Dei's "Halls of Human Delights" describe the manipulative and corrupt actions of a powerful entity, suggesting the entity is a religious organization or a state ruler. The first few lines encourage the creation of more sinners, who can then be controlled and punished for any form of envy. The subsequent lines describe what they are offered- gold, whores, wine and corrupting their crops. However, they demand the king to sell his crown to pay for the sins they've orchestrated.
The chorus presents the entity's boastful description of the ability to make anything- seas, seasons, dreams, and reason. They create sins to fill their prisons, which are described as halls of human delights- it's possible the entity feeds off human pleasure and joy. Finally, the lyrics suggest that the entity encourages complete moral decay, promises prizes they won't enjoy for long, and preys on people's faith, leading them to their death, and then cannibalizing the dead.
Overall, the lyrics are a commentary on the potential evil nature of a controlling power, who manipulates the masses to keep their status. Moreover, it highlights how such entities can claim authority in the name of faith or religion.
