Nebula atomic ritual full album 2003


Atomic Ritual is an album from rock band Nebula released in 2003. Some copies of the CD come with a Liquor and Poker sticker. On one of the flaps of the album case there are 5 lines of text reading:

Contents

  • "In the years of the Primal Course, in the dawn of terrestrial birth,
    Man Mastered the mammoth and horse, and Man was the lord of the earth."
  • "He made him a hollow skin from the heart of a holy tree,
    He compassed the earth therein, and Man was lord of the Sea."
  • "He controlled the vigour of steam, he harnessed the lightning for hire;
    He drove the celestial team, and Man was the lord of Fire."
  • "Deep-mouthed from their thrones deep-seated, the choirs of the aeons declare
    The last of the demons defeated, for Man is the lorde of the Air."
  • "Arise, O Man, in thy strength! the kingdom is thine to inherit
    Till the high gods witness at length that Man is the lord of his spirit."

    • Underneath this the initials A.C. are printed. These are the initials of occultist Aleister Crowley who wrote this. This is not Nebula's only Aleister Crowley reference, their MySpace tagline reads: "Do what thou wilt, shall be the whole of the law." a direct quote from Crowley. [1]
