Thelema

Country: Italy

Thelema is an Italian group formed in Modena in the winter of 1984 by Massimo Mantovani, bassist Giorgio Parmigiani and Gregorio Bardini, who drew its early themes from the esoteric writings of Aleister Crowley. The band's music sits between post-punk, dark wave and gothic rock, with passages that lean towards neofolk. Drummer Marco Bucciarelli joined the line-up before Thelema released its debut Tantra in 1986, a record later reissued.
