Lumina Quasi Oculi Deorum (“Lights Like the Eyes of the Gods” in Latin) is the thirteenth single from Rove Monteux, accompanying his thirteen albums, in his solo career into Classical, Cinematic, Drama, Neobaroque and Neoclassical music.
The single is divided in two parts, Lumina Quasi Oculi Deorum (“Lights Like the Eyes of the Gods”) and Tenebris Quasi Oculi Deorum (“Darkness Like the Eyes of the Gods”), and is a horror, drama, cinematic album, ambient with the soundscape of a screaming hell with crows and emanating pulses from its bottomless pit/abyss.
The concept of a "bottomless pit," also known as a "pit of hell," appears in some religious traditions as a place of punishment and suffering. It is often described as a deep, dark, and endless hole or pit that is associated with the underworld or the realm of the dead. The concept of a bottomless pit is often associated with the idea of hell, which is often depicted as a place of eternal punishment and torment. In some religious traditions, the bottomless pit is described as a place where the wicked or damned are thrown or cast to suffer for their sins.
The concept of the bottomless pit is often also used metaphorically to describe a place or situation that is endless, boundless, or without end.
The Lights and Darkness concept illustrates the bipolar view of the Gods being either hateful or benevolent, in practice commonly seen as a bipolar deity displaying both at the same time, all at once.
