Coph Nia
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Coph Nia is the name given to the dark ambient/ambient industrial act formed by Aldenon Sartorial. Coph Nia is currently signed to the Swedish label Cold Meat Industry. Its first release was the album That Which Remains, which was released in 2000.
The name itself derives from Chapter 3 of Aleister Crowley’s Liber AL vel Legis. The passage reads in full: “I am the Lord of the Double Wand of Power; the wand of the Force of Coph Nia—but my left hand is empty, for I have crushed an [sic] Universe; & nought remains.” (AL III:72)
Coph Nia’s music tends to drift between dark ambient soundscapes and tracks that betray Aldenon’s interest in the Western magical tradition, and the work of Aleister Crowley in particular.[1]
