Shaitan

Evildamn's song 'Shaitan' delves deep into the themes of darkness, blasphemy, and the occult. The lyrics are heavily influenced by Aleister Crowley's famous dictum, 'Do What Thou Wilt Shall be the whole of the law,' which sets the tone for the song's exploration of forbidden knowledge and the rejection of conventional morality. The invocation of Satan, or 'Shaitan,' serves as a metaphor for the ultimate rebellion against religious and societal norms, embracing a path of self-discovery and unholy enlightenment.

The song's vivid imagery of ancient cults, forgotten rites, and unholy ways paints a picture of a world steeped in dark rituals and sacrilegious practices. The repeated calls to 'Hail Satan' and the summoning of the 'Damned Beast' highlight the allure of the forbidden and the seductive power of sin and blasphemy. The lyrics suggest a journey through the shadows, seeking wisdom in the dark and invoking the name of Satan to gain deeper insights into the mysteries of existence.

Musically, the song's intense and aggressive style complements its dark themes. The guitar solos by Trillo and Gómez add to the atmosphere of chaos and darkness, enhancing the sense of a descent into the abyss. The lyrics' references to 'Veil of Darkness' and 'everlasting night of souls' evoke a sense of eternal damnation and the embrace of one's inner beast. The final declaration, 'I am beast! I am man! I am god! I am...SHAITAN!!!!' encapsulates the song's message of transcending human limitations and embracing a godlike, albeit dark, power within oneself.
