Album Title
The title "Lucifuge" is the imperative form of the Latin compound verb lucifugere, from 'lux' (light) + 'fugere' (to flee), which means "to flee or shun the light". If it is to be taken literally, "Lucifuge" is thus a command: "shun the light" or "flee from the light" (or logically, "seek darkness"). "Lucifuge" is also the name of the demon in charge of Hell's government by order of Lucifer, who is also one of the seven princes of Hell. Before its release the album had been tentatively titled "777".
