    This iconography was probably taken from ancient roman cults. I’m not an expert on decadence in art, but death cults are creepy.

      I’m an artist and student of arts and history of arts, etc. Most of time, portraying decadent elements makes the watcher to be into deadly desires and be more fanatical to serve, I have no source here, but the more you look at this elements, you’re gonna see it. Then, there’s also chantings about accepting death and causing it, causing a run of adrenaline and even oxitocine/dopamine on it. There’s a famous Christofascist song in the Spanish army called “I’m Death’s boyfriend”, which os sung while carrying a Jesus or a Virgin Mary on a pole.
