"The Eighth Pillar" was the first full length release by UK Power Electronics outfit Con-Dom back in 1991 (SFCR).

The CD is inspired by the life, writings and example of British author T.E. Lawrence - an enigmatic outsider who lived a tortured odyssey of physical and spiritual extremes in search of his own personal faith.

The name of the CD derives from his book called "The Seven Pillars Of Wisdom". The powerful sounds and strong vocals give a good impression on how torturing the life of Lawrence must have been. Con-Dom explores every kind of social tension with an acidic, violent and uncompromising attitude. A milestone.

"Life is an unending effort towards unattainable, imagined light, an unending war, with an enemy who is not of this world, nor life, nor anything, but hope itself. The freedom of mankind lies in defeat".

The CD comes with four 15 x 12cm artcards and 16pp lyric / art booklet.
