It's 7 bands (numerologically relevant), one of the bands is the one that
"unites"
all the other bands, this is the Electro-Magnetic Azoth. Other bands
include the
Holy Vehm, one of Trey's projects that he has been talking about for a
long time
already. Look for the clues involving Pythagorean geometry all over the
CD.
I haven't heard it yet, nor seen the track list, but I bet you that there
will
be either 7, 12, or 19 tracks on the album, and there will be all kinds of
subdivisions
involving the number 3, 4, 5, 7, 12, and 19. "The seven and the twelve
procure the nineteen",
as one of the cyphers on the Book M CD stated.
The CD is the first of three, and this one actually represents the Left
Pillar (Boaz)
of the kabbalistic Tree of Life. The left pillar stands for the female
polarity of the
universe, the right one represents the male side. The next CD will
represent the Right Pillar
(Jachin), and the third naturally will represent the Middle Pillar,
representing balance.
Probably, this third CD will be dominated by the Electro-Magnetic Azoth as
it is naturally
associated with the concept of balance (the hermetic or chemical
marriage).
Notice how the cover artwork displays a superimposition of the first
letter
of the alphabet in the three alphabets of the world's monotheistic
religions -
Hebrew, Arabic, and Latin.
