No, I'm not calling Him a liar 
Well, I can do all things through the Lord

* The vocal samples were likely processed by reversing the source audio, applying AI voice enhancement, and reversing it back, creating an effect which makes it sound both forwards and backwards at the same time. This is likely also the reason for the other voice samples, which sound like incoherent babbling, which is common of enhancement models when applied to things like sound effects or music instead of voices.

"[[Age Of Capricorn]]" is the fourth track on [[Boards of Canada]]'s fifth studio album, ''[[Inferno]]''.

__TOC__

== Comments ==

The "age of Capricorn", to followers of astrology, is an upcoming astrological age that will follow the current "age of Aquarius" and begin around the year 4000 AD.<ref>https://compassastrology.com/capricorn-age</ref> Astrologists theorize that humans, by this time, will be "born clairvoyant" and that the concept of death will disappear as humans "will be in constant contact with the worlds beyond."<ref>https://www.astrolada.com/articles/predictive-astrology/the-age-of-the-capricorn-4000-ad-to-6000-ad-occult-secrets-of-the-distant-human-future.html</ref>

The mentions of "Mabus" likely refer to the writings of famed astrologer and seer Nostradamus. Followers of Nostradamus claim that the name "Mabus" refers to the Antichrist, and several attempts have been made to link this name with well-known figures, from Barack Obama to Osama Bin Laden. The sample of a man rearranging the letters of "Usama" to "M a a u s" then to "Mabus" is almost certainly a reference to this.<ref>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nostradamus_in_popular_culture#%22Mabus%22_as_Antichrist</ref>

== Samples / Lyrics ==
* From 0:49 onwards, a Nostradamus prophecy theorist (potentially John Hogue) performing anagrammatic analysis on the name "Mabus", linking Osama Bin Laden through an alternative spelling "Usama".

Introit

{{Infobox Song|
| name=Introit
| runtime=0:36
| appearson=[[Introit / Prophecy At 1420 MHz]] [[Inferno]]}}

"[[Introit]]" is the first track on [[Boards of Canada]]'s fifth studio album ''[[Inferno]]''. It functions as a short introduction track, in the same vein as on their previous albums. "Introit" was released on May 7th, 2026, alongside "[[Prophecy At 1420 MHz]]", as the album's lead single.

__TOC__

== Comments ==

== Samples / Lyrics ==

== Trivia ==
* An introit is a "piece of music sung or played at the beginning of a worship service".<ref>https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/introit</ref> In many Christian denominations, an introit is sung to begin the Eucharist, or Holy Communion.<ref>https://www.episcopalchurch.org/glossary/introit/</ref>
* In the rite of the Catholic Mass, especially as seen in the 1962 pre-Vatican II Missals, the Introit specifically refers to the beginning of The Liturgy of the Eucharist. This could tie directly into another track on the album "[[The Word Becomes Flesh]]" whose title comes from John 1:14, a verse that becomes central in the Liturgy of the Eucharist in the Christian denominations (especially Catholicism).

== Videos ==
The split music video for the song was released on May 7th, 2026, through the band's official [https://www.youtube.com/@boardsofcanada/ YouTube channel]. 
It is directed by [https://robertbeattyart.com/ Robert Beatty] and produced by Greg Burne of [https://bigactive.com/ Big Active].
