What began with the previous releases, comes now to the final chapter and climax, with an epic double album! Usumgal Kalamma is a huge and rich soundwork, divided into two parts that transport the listener into the realms of the archaic world. It is an invitation to explore a mythic age in history whereby the inventions of these people are still connected with us today. Intense ritualistic and percussive drumming melt with deep atmospheric drones, invocations, otherwordly tones and various acoustic instruments such as gongs, bells and zither. This sonic prayer is Herbst9´s trademark of a ritual infused dark ambient style and an essential document that combines historical background with sound art. This amazing double-album comes in a box with a separate 32-pages booklet! Released late January, 2012 on Loki.Track Listing CD1:01 She filled the Wells of the Land with Blood02 Napissunu Mutumma03 Ludlul bel Nemeqi04 Birds of Sorrow are building Nests on these Flanks05 Ušumgal Kalamma06 A sacred Dwelling07 Ereškigal, rise from your ThroneCD2:01 Kima šuškalli ukattimanni šittu02 Iilam-pilah03 Ningirsu Ušumgal04 The sage Lord Ašimbabbar05 Mutum kima imbari izannun elišum06 Ašar tallaki ittiki lullik07 The great Child of Suen
