MERCIFUL NUNS, die alteingesessenen Gothic Rocker, mit Metaleinschlag, planen eine Kombiveröffentlichung, unter dem Namen “LIBER KVLTANAE“. Sie besteht aus einem 120seitigen Buch, das eine dunkle, mythische Saga über die Anfänge des Seins, verlorene Götter und verschwiegene Wahrheiten, thematisiert, sowie einer begleitenden Musik CD, auf welche die NUNS neue Versionen bekannter Songs gepackt haben. Als Erscheinungstermin ist der 11. Juni geplant.
MERCIFUL NUNS schreiben:
“Kvltan is not merely a word — it is an echo from the depths of the universe, a primordial myth that opens the gates to our true origins. At the threshold between myth and reality unfolds the story of an ancient civilization that ruled long before the first earthly high cultures, whose knowledge was lost and whose secrets live on in ancient hymns and deadly legends. This book conceals forbidden invocations, primeval rites, and forgotten knowledge that lies beyond the profane world. Dream-born insights intertwine with accounts of portals to alien dimensions—through which something gazes that must not be named. Whoever speaks the words alters the course of their being—and never returns unchanged. This book knows its reader.“
Zur Vorstellung des Konzepts hat Mastermind Artaud Seth jetzt seine neue Version des “Finistere“ Tracks `Black Monoliths`, mitsamt Musikvideo online gestellt.

Lyrics:
o mother of Marduk who speaks in backwards
they came before memory learned to lie
to wake the sleeping Giants, feel its might
and flood the barren darkness with its light
o holy mother, with eyes unmade
the gods are blind, but still obeyed
the monoliths do not speak
in silence, they weep
but the dust bleeds stories
when you breathe it in
no name left to forget
and in that dark, a hymn is cast:
to wake the sleeping Giants, feel its might
and flood the barren darkness with its light
o holy mother, with eyes unmade
the gods are blind, but still obeyed
long turned to stone
black monoliths
rise from the old land
