About Lapis Niger

There is more than one artist with this name: 1) The dark ritual ambient project of Swedish author/musician Tommie Eriksson, whose work is an expression of the Draconian Current as channelled in Dragon Rouge - Ordo Draconis et Atri Adamantis. It is named in honor of the black diamond of Draconian Alchemy; the eternal star of Thaumiel of the Qliphotic Qabalah. 2) An Italian black metal act, formed in 2003, consisting of Zrohell and Quirinus (formerly of Noctifer), with Triarius/AWAK on drums. They take their name from an ancient shrine in Rome which was believed in ancient times to be the gravesite of the legendary Romulus.
