With Finistere, Merciful Nuns present their most apocalyptic and visionary chapter to date—a requiem forged beyond the veil, echoing through cathedrals of sound and silence. This album sketches the end beyond all endings, an initiation of the Kvltans where myth, memory, and emptiness 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 flow of time; and descends into the crimson 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 merely an album—it is the fracture in the firmament, the echo of lost worlds, the threshold where even endings must learn how to end.
