Abbey ov Thelema are a band from Slovakia founded in the beginning of summer of 2009 as a dark ambient one-man side project of Delgrast (who was then a member of another BM band, Nevaloth), who now call their style "Transcendental Khaoblack Metal". Despite the statement " "Abbey ov Thelema is not, never was and never will be a political band" on their official site, and their lyrics solely based on occult themes, Delgrast states that their approach to the music is very anarchistic/khaotic, and they'd be glad to see this promo on my blog.

...To be honest, this kind of BM, with lots of keyboards, isn't my favourite, so I don't think I can provide an adequate review of this promo. If you're interested, visit their official site and follow the links to reviews (there's a lot). And if you run a label and are interested in releasing their upcoming full-length album, here's the contact e-mail: delgrast [AT] gmail [DOT] com.

    1. Well maybe, but Delgrast decided to send this demo to be and not to some other blogger, so I guess he has at least some sympathy for anarchism.

    1. Hmm... I just downloaded it, and it works OK (there should be one long mp3 track + album covers). What exactly is your problem?

    2. Well, i'm confused, because i expected 3 tracks. And the file name is "MMXII - Here & Now - At the Threshold ov End Times". Thats why i'm not quite sure if it's this album.
