Allowing a second glimpse into the forthcoming album, THE LOVECRAFT SEXTET unveil the new composition 'Miserere [Opus III]-Sanctum'. The song is defined by sorrowful instrumentation and the expressive as well as versatile female vocals of Jason Köhnen's long-time collaborative partner Lilian Tong. By adding eerie and sinister saxophone, noise and ambient elements, the track transforms itself from a neoclassical piece into a Jazz noir mélange. Composer Jason Köhnen narrates on the conceptual background:
"The song opens with a lamentation and gradually progresses to repentance and the penitence of sin. With this composition I tried to transpose religious expressions into a specific musical journey … a confessional journey of a heretic. I composed the classical part and instructed Lilian Tong on the theme and emotion for the song. She is singing a specific part of Psalm 51 which reflects on the concept of the 'Sanctum' piece. As a classical trained soprano, Lilian is incredibly fine to work with, she really understands the vocal desperation needed for this song."
