The Trio Infernal strikes again: "Thelema VIII", the eighth album from the occult rock gods led by mastermind Artaud Seth (ex Diary of Dreams, Garden of Delight) has been announced. The man himself, Jawa Seth and Jón Tmoh arguably spearhead the international Goth-Rock scene. Hardly any band in this genre can boast a vitae like the Merciful Nuns.
"Thelema VIII" pounds ear-drums with an implosion and rarely the album succeeds in drawing the listener so convincingly and quickly under its spell.
Instantly pinpointed and excessive songs, wild and menacing dark penetrate the auditory canals. In the Merciful Nuns' typical style we find the synapsis exceeding the process of mere listening by posting a fundamental question of meaning in its literary context. On this occasion we find the inquisitive Socrates on his journey into the abyss of a dystopic society living in accord with Thelemitic principles on a distant exoplanet. 
First copies come with the exclusive, and hand-numbered "Allseing Eye" EP, featuring 4 exclusive versions/tracks as double-package. The EP is not available seperately.
