Adam „Nergal“ Darksi kommentiert „Opvs Contra Natvram“ im O-Ton wie folgt: „The album title means going against the current,“ Nergal states. „It’s the negative of the values and morals and ethics that I stand against. I’ve seriously been wrestling with destructive tendencies in pop culture — cancel culture, social media, and tools which I feel are very dangerous weapons in the hands of people who are not competent to judge others. That’s something which I find very destructive and disturbing — and extremely limiting coming from an artists‘ perspective. This is my middle finger to that. There’s a song on the record called ‚Neo-Spartacvs.‘ Spartacus was one of the most iconic rebels in history who went against the most powerful empire of all time. In the end, it’s me screaming, ‚I Am Spartacus, and so are you!‘ I want to spark that flame of rebellion. If something seems wrong then stand up to it!“
