Their journey started a long time ago, some say on Saturn, some say in the subconscious of the human psyche, coming out in different manners through the ages, channelled by mystics, witch doctors, shamans, free thinkers, free spirits. But we do know that what has become Codex Serafini travelled here from their home world on Enceladus in 2019 and crash landed into the music scene of Sussex. Invoking many styles of psychedelic rock from the recent human musical history to open the minds of their human audience to the other world, and higher plane. After releasing two EP's, `Serpents of Enceladus' in 2020 and `Invisible Landscape' in 2021 Codex Serafini embarked on their most immersive journey so far creating what would become `The Imprecation Of Anima' an exploration of the self, the duality of the human existence. The album is heavy, much heavier than their previous output and the albums longest song, `Animus in Decay' is longer than either of the bands previous EP's. It snakes and weaves an epic motif through the wilderness of the sometimes barren lands of the unconsciousness, focusing the mind with it's almost heavy metal mantra and using this to open up the third eye to the realisation of our mortal existence. The whole album is a pilgrimage into one's inner self and its relationship with its own shadow in its truest form, two parts coming together as a whole.
