Headfirst Editor's Pick
"Esoteric Babylonian-drone-doom prophets Wyatt E ride into town on gryphons, not tour buses. A towering highlight from the last Astral Fest, their widescreen compositions reach a fever pitch of double drumming and hypnotic mantras in long-dead languages. Singular Biblical desert psych FFO: Five the Hierophant, Bong, Lowen, Grails, Prince of Persia, Dead Can Dance."

A gig held at Moor Beer Co on Wednesday 2nd July. The event starts at 19:30.
Extra Terrestrial Promotions & Velvet Echoes are proud to present Wyatt E. a band who write the soundtrack of the exile to Babylon after the siege of Jerusalem by King Nebuchadnezzar II in 587 BC. A travel in the past which leads to ancient Gods, forgotten cities and lost civilisations.

After two years in the making, the band seals their long-awaited return in 2025 with the highly anticipated narrative sequel to “āl bēlūti
dārû”: zamāru ultu qereb ziqquratu Part 1 (Music from inside the Ziggurat); is the first chapter of a set of 2 concept albums in which the band
deepens its exploration of ancient Babylon with an almost mythical approach through the eyes of the exiled captives from Jerusalem.
Featuring contributions from 7 international collaborators, zamāru ultu qereb ziqquratu is poised to become one of the most ambitious
projects in the doom scene in terms of production & conception and will be released by the finest label in the genre: Heavy Psych Sounds.
The album pushes sonic boundaries by featuring two drummers recorded simultaneously, creating the immersive effect of distant crowds. An
eclectic mix of instruments, including the saz, viola, sitar, and bugle, blend with both analog and digital elements to enrich the soundscape.
A nod to Turkish composer Fazıl Say is also present, with a quotation from his symphony Mesopotamia.
For the first time, two vocal tracks appear alongside the instrumental pieces. Iranian singer Nina Saiedi lends her ethereal voice to "The
Diviner's Prayer to the Gods of the Night," sung in Akkadian, while Jerusalem’s choir conductor, Tomer Damsky delivers a captivating
performance of Im Lelya in Aramaic adding a deep vocal layer to the album. The final mix, crafted by renowned producer Tim De Gieter,
known for his work with Amenra, Brutus, and Absent in Body, brings everything together with a masterful touch.
