A concept by Mr. Doctor, the title of the album is a reference to the Roman Emperor Elagabalus. Background In 1989 Mr. Doctor began work on two compositions: "The Black Holes of My Mind", a 45-minute composition incorporating esoteric quotations and subliminal messages; and "Eliogabalus", a 60-minute composition inspired by Antonin Artaud's book ''Heliogabalus: Or, The Crowned Anarchist''.

Only the Italian section, and the Slovenian guitarist Bor Zuljan, was recruited to record the album. ''Eliogabalus'' was released in 1990, with the shortened version of "The Black Holes of My Mind" renamed "Mr. Doctor" for this re ...
