<i>New Introductory Lectures on the System of Transcendental Qabala</i> 2016 studio album by Kel Valhaal

New Introductory Lectures on the System of Transcendental Qabala is the first studio album of Kel Valhaal, an electronic music focused project of Liturgy vocalist and guitarist Haela Hunt-Hendrix. It was released on Hunt-Hendrix's label YLYLCYN on July 15, 2016. Ideas for Kel Valhaal were created in 2010 as a rap project. However, Hunt-Hendrix's practice in making electronic music while touring with Liturgy led the project to be an electronic act, though her rapping is still present on the record in her trademark vocal style. Her intent of making music under the moniker Kel Valhaal is to create a complex spiritual mythology set to music; supposedly emulating what has been called "transcendental catharsis". The titular character of the project is described as a "logical agency of faith and acephalic becoming", with the name derived from Liturgy's third studio album The Ark Work.
