Ave Satani

Ave Satani

"Ave Satani" is the piece of music used to create most of the theme song for "The Omen", written by Jerry Goldsmith, which won him an academy award. [ [http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/main.jhtml?xml=/news/2004/07/24/db2401.xml News - Telegraph ] ] The Omen won an Oscar for Best Score, with "Ave Satani" nominated for Best Song, [ [http://www.nypost.com/entertainment/movies/news/n13719.htm New Movies | Upcoming Movies | Ratings - New York Post ] ] one of the few songs not in English ever to be nominated.

The title intends to mean "Hail Satan" in Latin, but the declension of the word "Satan" used is incorrect. The song has been described as hair-raising [ [http://www.guardian.co.uk/media/2003/may/20/tvandradio.television Pick of the day: Satellite, cable & digital | Media | The Guardian ] ] although one journalist reviewing the soundtrack of the Da Vinci code considered "Ave Satani" to be "nonsense" in comparison to that more restrained soundtrack. [ [http://edition.cnn.com/2006/SHOWBIZ/Music/05/08/davinci.soundtrack/ CNN.com - Review: 'Da Vinci' music a blessing - May 9, 2006 ] ]

A version of the song has been produced by the band Fantômas, who altered some of the lyrics so that they mean "smallest blood, body spirit" rather than "we drink the blood, we eat the flesh," and added the word "Rotted". Other versions of the original song have been performed by the Italian vocalist Survio Tulio, and by Gregorian. It has been used in mixes of sinister music [ [http://www.accessmylibrary.com/coms2/summary_0286-33290667_ITM Commentary: Album Reviews: Holiday albums. | Journal Record (Oklahoma City, OK) (, 2007) ] ] and such a concept was made into an album by Dee Snyder and other musicians, entitled "Oculus Infernum Van Helsing's Curse."

The seminal British heavy metal band Black Sabbath have used the song as an intro for many shows and tours during their tenure with Tony Martin. The American heavy-metal band, Machine Head, previously used this as an introduction track to their live performances some of which have been recorded. (See Elegies, Hellalive)
