German gothic rock masters Merciful Nuns will release on the 18th of March via Solar Lodge their new highly anticipated album entitled KVLTAN. Now the band, masterminded by Artaud Seth, presents the second single/video "The Kvltanians". The video was directed by Artaud Seth and you can watch it below.
“What if life did not originate on Earth?” A profound question to open Merciful Nuns’ 11th album with the ominous title: KVLTAN. Artaud Seth, creative head, mentor and visionary behind the band takes us on a journey to the onset of human civilisation, the origins of all earthly existence. Why do we exist? Where do we come from? What was or could be the “missing link” between a simple, indigenous life and the sudden appearance of the first High Cultures in Mesopotamia? Why is it indeed that almost all subsequent world religions came about entirely independent from one another and without any conceivable connection between them by virtue of direct intervention from “Gods that came from the skies”, i.e. from outer space? And why are we so fixated on the notion that intelligent life originated here on Earth? What irrefutable evidence do we have in support of the certainty by which this theory is being peddled as fact? The key to finding the answers resides in asking the right questions.
KVLTAN is the strongest Merciful Nuns' material to date – exceptional in its conception, arrangement and execution; every element is carefully considered and inserted in its designated place in order to maximise the desired effect.
So, are we ready for the ultimate panoramic view from the peak of the symbolic mountain of cognition; this highest geological point within our solar system: the peak of Olympus Mons? And would we be ready to become spacefaring gods like our ancestors who came from outer space before us? KVLTAN tells a story that could have happened and perhaps even has. In a any case it is a story that should inspire you to dream. Link
