German gothic rock masters Merciful Nuns announce that their album number 13, entitled Finistere, will be released on 20 November via Solar Lodge. With Finistere, Merciful Nuns present their most apocalyptic and visionary chapter to date — a requiem forged in the beyond, resonating within cathedrals of sound and silence.
This album depicts the end beyond all ends, an initiation of the Kvltans, where myth, memory, and void collapse into a single point. It begins with a young neophyte and an Occvlanth, the iron compass for the afterlife; continues to the icy tower of Zal'tharr, the exiled god of the broken time cycle; and descends into the purple tomb of Mars, where the Astralith pulses with forbidden Kvltanic hymns. Transformed into vessel and voice, she herself becomes Finistère — the shore where sky and sea dissolve into nothingness.
True to their essence, Merciful Nuns weave ritual, darkness, and transcendence into sonic monuments. Finistere is not simply an album — it is the fissure in the firmament, the echo of worlds long lost, the threshold where even endings must learn how to end.
Merciful Nuns' mastermind Artaud Seth comments: "Death, a fleeting breath everything ends and begins at once. And whoever has felt this breath will know that separation is only a word. Invented by those who still must wait."
