The Misanthropic Luciferian Order (MLO) was a satanic occult order founded in Sweden in 1995 and later renamed Temple of the Black Light. It had originally three members, Vlad Nemesis Khoshnood, Jon Nödtveidt and another member who left the group early. Johan Norman joined the order in the same time of Jon but left the group when Vlad and Jon started to talk about committing violent acts. Vlad's girlfriend later became a supporting member. The group never grew beyond this size again after two earlier friends had dropped out. As a sign of membership the three had a symbol tattooed on the arms, of a so-called "vampire pentagram" that Vlad had designed.
The MLO released Liber Azerate, a modern grimoire written by the founder Vlad Nemesis Khoshnood, whose title was Magister Templi and nicknamed Frater Nemidial,[a] in 2002.[2][3] It was released on the internet in Swedish and Norwegian. Azerate is the hidden name of the "eleven anti-cosmic gods" described in the book. A related musical work is the 2006 Dissection album Reinkaos, the lyrics of which were co-written by Vlad, and which Jon Nödtveidt explained was "based on the book Liber Azerate and the teachings of MLO".[4] The MLO propagate "Chaos-Gnostic Satanism" or "Current 218".
In 2010, a second book named Liber Falxifer was published. It is also a grimoire with spells, and commentary about Latin American death cults. It was published by Ixaxaar Publications, in limited editions.[5]
