8 is the eighth full-length studio album by Indonesian experimental metal band Kekal, announced on 23 June 2010,[5] and made available for purchase on 23 January 2011.[6] While the band has no officially active members, former members Jeff, Leo, and Levi all contributed to the album.[1][7][8][9] The album was set to be released by Whirlwind Records during December 2010, on CD and as a digital download,[10] and on 15 December 2010, the album was available for pre-order, which included an offer of free shipping within Europe up to December 24.[11]

On 19 February 2010, Jeff announced that he had posted a music video on YouTube[12] for a song titled "Tabula Rasa". At that time, the new album was still untitled.[13][14] On 24 March 2011, it was announced that "Tabula Rasa" was included on a compilation/sampler album by the Sonic Seducer magazine.[15][16] Metal Hammer Germany commented that the album was far from the early black metal days of the band, and gave the album a rating of 4 out of 7.[2]
