Ad Majorem Sathanas Gloriam has been released in a limited edition digipack on
Regain Records. This edition features slightly modified cover art and a bonus
DVD which includes the uncensored version of the "Carving a Giant" video not
previously seen on MTV or YouTube as well as "The Making of Carving a Giant"
documentary. More information on the release is available via Regain Records'
website.
The title is Latin for "For the Greater Glory of Satan". It is a parody of Ad
Maiorem Dei Gloriam ("For the Greater Glory of God"), the motto of the Society
of Jesus, conceived by Infernus after having read an article on the
counter-reformation and the Jesuits. This is so far the only Gorgoroth album not
to have any titles and lyrics in Norwegian.
The artwork used is from the painting Dante and Virgil in Hell by
William-Adolphe Bouguereau.
