“𝗣𝗼𝘄𝗲𝗿𝘀 𝗼𝗳 𝗗𝗮𝗿𝗸𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀” (Swedish: “Mörkrets makter”) was an anonymous 1899 Swedish adaptation of 𝐁𝐫𝐚𝐦 𝐒𝐭𝐨𝐤𝐞𝐫’s 1897 novel 𝐃𝐫𝐚𝐜𝐮𝐥𝐚.
This reading downplays the vampirism of Stoker’s novel and portrays Dracula primarily as the head of an international cult inspired by social Darwinism, new experimental trends that were fashionable at the dawn of the 20th century, when social and religious movements set their ideologies under question.
Yiannis Manopoulos, mastermind of Thelemite said about the concept of the new album:
“When I was looking for the concept name for our new record, the combination of this edition, which combines Stoker’s gothic masterpiece, with the Darwinism of our previous “𝐒𝐮𝐫𝐯𝐢𝐯𝐚𝐥 𝐨𝐟 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐅𝐢𝐭𝐭𝐞𝐬𝐭” (2023), but also the occult, created the magic that connects our two releases thematically, filling me with inspiration.. .but also the feeling that everything happens for a reason, and that …𝐂𝐫𝐨𝐰𝐥𝐞𝐲 ( our godfather), is watching us from somewhere that I can’t explain at the moment and is rubbing his hands!”
The artwork of this concept album of Thelemite is illustrated once again (as on the successful “Survival Of The Fittest”) by Argentinian fine artist Rodrigo A. Gudiña at Core76 Studio and it’s an absolutely masterpiece!
From our headuarters in Transylvania and Wallachia, we share the front cover of “Powers Of Darkness” with eternal love for all of you:
