Attera Totus Sanctus is Dark Funeral's 4th full length studio album. It was released on October 24th, 2005 in Europe through Regain Records, and on November 29th, 2005 in the United States through Candlelight Records USA. The title is the (erroneous) Latin translation of "Destroy All the Holy", and was chosen to convey the band's vehement anti-Right-Hand Path stance.[1]
Strangely, the Latin title of the album contains a grammatical error. 'Totus Sanctus' alone would seem to refer to either a single 'holy man' or a single 'holy' object which is associated with the male grammatical gender. Being the direct object of the imperative verb 'Attera,' 'Totus Sanctus' would be more correctly rendered 'Totum Sanctum.'
In addition, the song 'Atrum Regina' would more appropriately be titled 'Atra Regina,' since 'Regina' is a feminine singular noun.
