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.
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".
[5] The MLO believes in what they titled "Chaosophy", they believe in the Jewish and Biblical creation theory of Adam and Eve and the existence of the abrahamic God, or Yehowa, that according to them created the universe, but unlike followers of the abrahamic faiths, they instead reject Yehowa and want to see this creation not to have taken place, and wish to destroy it or cause its non-existence through magic and rituals.
[2]: 4–6 Militant neo-gnosticism and misanthropy is taught within the group, and they say that the true Satanist must not be a part of the modern society, as it is founded upon lies.
[8] During their investigations, the police interrogated the early former member of the MLO, and Vlad's girlfriend (who had reported him for aggravated domestic abuse) who described the organisation and narrated the occult ceremonies they had attended.
During the weeks that preceded the murder of Josef ben Meddour, Vlad had been more and more extremist in his speech, and the idea of performing human sacrifices, followed by a mass suicide, was discussed at length.
