"Amidst the shadowed desertscapes of the ancient lands. - The dark worshippers of the serpent gather beneath a dark moon. As Shammash sleeps behind the mountains of Akrabu. - The Magick of the 7 Maskim are summoned from the shadows. - I conjure thee, mountains of Mashu, may the Serpent of Kur bring forth destruction. - Come forth from the mountains of Mashu, by the Rites of the 7 Maskim of the seven ignited spheres."

During the Midst of Winter, December XXX Anno Sathanas (1995), Count Vampir Scorpios of the vampiric black metal act, Crimson Moon , wrote and recorded five entrancing dirges entitled "Kakos Draconis" (Wicked Dragon) a day before, on, and after the December full moon during an invocation to a force known as Mummu-Tiamat or Tehom, dragon of primordial chaos, Goddess of the Ancient Ones, who layeth beyond the gates.
A force known as Akrabu is invoked as well. Akrabu (Scorpion Man) is the one who dwelleth amongst the mountains. Both these forces are summoned unto the listener on the Kakos Draconis canticles as well as other dark deities and demons.
Akrabu consists entirely of acoustic instruments. No synthesizers are used, which puts Akrabu into a whole new realm of ritual orchestrations. The rites within "Kakos Draconis" and the debut cassette album of Akrabu, "Kispu Ina Ina Nekelmu," are actually recorded from a casted circle and the deities conjured are real. Embrace the astral realms of the Vampire Goddess, Tiamat. Through the seas of Absu rise, praise be the blood of the serpent.

...Those who wish to rise to the realm of the Akrabu, the west gate of the calling shall appear...
