Urkaos is the sound equivalent of the orthodox Saint Cyprian's dual essence, great occultist of his time and admirer of the Black Arts, he possessed the power to summon impure spirits to serve his own purposes.

But we portray the depths of human despair and darkness. Not because it is good, but because herein lies the key to redemption. Face the world for what it is. Therein lies the fruit of salvation. Here is our worship. At the foot of the cross. Our good is dying. This is the banality of evil." (interview with the band, Invisible Oranges)
