Comments[edit]
- An introit is a "piece of music sung or played at the beginning of a worship service".[1] In many Christian denominations, an introit is sung to begin the Eucharist, or Holy Communion.[2]
- 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).
- The synth that can be heard at 0:21 is very similar to and has the same notes as the flourishing synth that can be heard in "Aquarius", "Warp10-03", and "Alpha And Omega".
- "Introit" transitions seamlessly into the next track "Prophecy At 1420 MHz", it is one of only four tracks on Inferno to do so, the other three being "Age Of Capricorn" into "Father And Son", "Acts Of Magic" into "Memory Death", and "Deep Time" into "All Reason Departs".
Samples / Lyrics[edit]
Trivia[edit]
- Introit is the shortest opening track on a Boards of Canada album since "Into the Rainbow Vein" on The Campfire Headphase.
- The main melody of the track is almost identical when played forward or reverse.
Videos[edit]
The split music video for the song was released on May 7th, 2026, through the band's official YouTube channel.
It is directed by Robert Beatty and produced by Greg Burne of Big Active.
