Cordis Cincti Serpente is a ritual/dark ambient/post-industrial musical project

born in 1989 from an idea of Bari based musician Giovanni Lisi.
Lisi started his musical journey in the early 80s in the local punk scene as a bassist forming the group Bedlam Cage.

Soon he lost interest and moved on.
At the late 80s he met Ivan Iusco (Nightmare Lodge) of Minus Habens label and they quickly became friends.
Cordis Cincti Serpenteit was born spontaneously.
At that period Lisi practiced his esoteric studies strongly inspired by Aleister Crowley,

Kenneth Grant and Austin Osman Spare.
The debut cassette of the same name was released on December 23, 1989

containing six obscure ritual tracks with Ivan Iusco helping Lisi on electronics and producing the release.
The tape was printed in 31 copies and was given to friends and people interested in that kind of subject.
The next appearance of Giovanni Lisi was in 1993 with the collaboration project Nanaleth 23 

and the cassette "Submit To Desire" featuring Ivan Iusco, Paolo Bandera (Sigillum S, Sshe Retina Stimulants)

and David Padbury (aka Krist Wolf of The Grey Wolves).
The tape was produced as ritual music to be used as a soundtrack for the making of Magic Seals,

a practice borrowed from Austin Osman Spare who was the basis of the practices of the Temple Of Psychic Youth 

(founded by Genesis P. Orridge) that Lisi was a member at the time.
Lisi also collaborated with Russolo of Nightmare Lodge under the name Thee Naodema 

creating several songs that were released on various tape compilations.
By 1995 Lisi had announced that the next work from Cordis Cincti Serpente would be entirely centered on Cthulhu Mythos.
Instead of being released in 1996 as "Yuggoth" the album published by Industrial Ölocaust Recordings two decades later,

in May 2016 as "Noo Yuggoth", in a limited edition box set of two cassettes.
In September 2017, a new limited cassette was released again on IÖR entitled "Cenobitorium"

followed by the album "Mala O" in 2020.

"Cordis Cincti Serpente" was remastered and reissued in 2019 on limited cassette and CDr editions by IÖR.
