[edit] Artwork and Title
According to the band's official website, "Irae Melanox" could be translated as "The black night of wrath", from Latin Ira (wrath), Nox (night), and the Greek prefix Melan- (black). Melanox is a constructed word, and won't be found in any Latin dictionary. Still according to the official website, the cover is Gianluca's painting "The Realms Of Mist", and has been painted for this particular purpose. It represents the castle of King Adramelch I, closed in the mist and seen from distance by the dark of a cave. The "Irae Melanox" complete artwork was then made in black and white due to lack of money by the label.
