The 15-song opened with "Genesis" from the band's 2010 debut, "Opus Eponymous", and also saw former frontman Papa Emeritus II hand over the reins to his three-month younger brother alongside the band of Nameless Ghouls.

New material receiving its live premiere included "From The Pinnacle To The Pit", "Majesty", "Absolution" and the project's just-released lead single, "Cirice."

"A message from the clergy: to all our followers who came to support our ritual tonight. We thank you," says the band. "To those who couldn't be there we are coming."
