Powers of Darkness: Το Σκοτεινό Παραμύθι των Thelemite

Οι THELEMITE επιστρέφουν με τον 4ο δίσκο τους κι εδώ καταπιάνονται με την πάντα γοητευτική και γεμάτη γοτθική ατμόσφαιρα ιστορία του Κόμη Δράκουλα, του χαρακτήρα που εμπνεύστηκε ο Bram Stoker. Βέβαια, εδώ η άμεση πηγή έμπνευσης του συγκροτήματος είναι μια διασκευή του βιβλίου του Bram Stoker από έναν ανώνυμο Σουηδό συγγραφέα το 1899, με τίτλο «Mörkrets makter», που στα αγγλικά μεταφράζεται ως «Powers of Darkness» — τίτλος που, φυσικά, φέρει και ο παρών δίσκος.
