| − | * '''Introit''' is the opening chant of a Catholic Mass — the prayer sung or recited as the priest processes into the sanctuary. As ''[[Inferno]]'''s first track (0:36), it frames the whole album as a liturgical act — the listener enters the space as if entering a Mass, or, following the album's title, the gate of Dante's ''Inferno''.
| |
| − | * The first word of the Introit proper in the traditional Latin Mass is ''Introibo'' — "I will go in." ''[[Inferno]]'' likewise opens with an act of entry.
| |
| − | * Sits with "[[Father And Son]]" and "[[The Word Becomes Flesh]]" as the album's explicitly Christian-liturgical triad.
