LurkMusick the meditative journey these three recordings just took me on is simply indescribable. it's as if I just took my astral soul on the complete underworld expedition tour in the confines of my own headphones/mind, and I would truly love to thank the creators personally for the illuminating experience. truly powerful stuff here. Favorite track: dreaming under the star-veiled arch of nuit.

fjones I am transported to a cold desert night while listening to this album. Favorite track: a procession through the seven gates of kur.

about

"mātu šaplītu" is an aural ritual interpretation of the descent into the underworld as it is told in ancient Near East mythology.

drone, dungeon synth and middle-eastern instrumentation coalesce into 30 minutes of "desert synth"
