German experimental post-apocalyptic gothic rock act Near Earth Orbit (N.E.O.), a project of Artaud Seth and Jawa Seth of Merciful Nuns, will release on 24 October via Solar Lodge a new album entitled Divine Inferno. Near Earth Orbit created a powerful and fulminant piece of dark art, unleashing a true apocalyptic inferno with its musical force of noise, hard guitars, dark synthesizers, and deep, rumbling bass lines.
The story: The Revolution: The androids rebel against their original mission to resettle humanity on the planet Kepler 186F, which they now call "Luciferion Regis". Here, they encounter the Invincibles, a species that has evolved over eons through a unique necroevolution of organic metal and plant structures. These beings do not tolerate any settlement on their planet, forcing the mission to be abandoned. In a catastrophic battle, a true divine inferno, the settlers and the Invincibles face off. The Invincibles resist the colonization by humanity unyieldingly, knowing that humans would bring only downfall and decay. Divine Inferno symbolizes the apocalyptic scenario that humanity has carried with it since the beginning: religion. In the name of their self-created gods, humans brought destruction upon themselves and their home, Earth. No apocalyptic scenario has been as powerful and effective as their religion, their faith!
The protagonists narrate with android voices, sing with majestic choirs, scream, and invoke a future far beyond our imagination. N.E.O. are not of this world! The first single/video called "Luciferion Regis" has been released and you can check it out right here. Link

"I can call our show an emotional exhibitionism. If you want to drink beer and cry, please come to our show, haha." - Nokt Aeon
"I like to call our music suicide pop, because our songs are pretty easy to listen to, but the topics are very negative and quite dark. It's pop, but negative pop." - Simone Salvatori
"I think it's basically a mutation of a lot of different things — like a hybrid creature nobody quite knows how to categorise. A heretic, I guess." - Håvard Ellefsen (Mortiis)
"We were outsiders, and nobody knew what the fuck was going on. We just listened to this extreme music that nobody else liked, and that made us very strong..." - Mikael Stanne
