NERATERRÆ and CHAIGIDEL have joined forces and created a deeply evocative ritualistic opus rich in various aural elements and sceneries. The title “Lamaŝtu” pays tribute to the Mesopotamian mythological malevolent goddess, the most terrible of all female demons, daughter of the sky god Anu and lover of Pazuzu.
Black mantras, organic drones, tuvan throat singing, tibetan bells, doumbek, balaban, maaponim, shofar and ritual drums are the earthly tools chosen to cut through the soil of human beliefs and comprehension, and to reach for the purest and obscure states of being.
Available in High Resolution Audio 24-bit FLAC.

- "De dark ambienttovenaar kennen we maar al te goed als NERATERRÆ die ons in het verleden al heel wat duistere elektronische lekkernijen voorschotelde."
- "Het einde van de wereld is nog niet nabij maar deze twee heren laten wel al een mogelijk doemscenario horen."

- "Belle réussite d’ambiance, au final, pour cette coopération studio qui en réfère directement, par son titre, à la sombre déesse de la mythologie mésopotamienne."

- "Chaigidel & Neraterrae's bewitching Lamastu must be traveled. It must be heard, if only to fortify one's mental mettle; so prick up one's ears and strengthen one's heart."

- "L’impasto sovrannaturale di questo album è vischioso, sa di terra umida e sangue rappreso, di pietra fredda e antica che fa esclamare ELOI ELOI LAMA SABACTANI, nel momento stesso in cui l’oscurità avvolge l’ultimo bagliore di lucidità e di speranza."

- "A fascinating production"
- "The opus stands for an anguishing adventure throughout an imaginary, forbidden, place."

- "Le connessioni tra le cose sono sottili e sfuggenti, e la comprensione delle cause che determinano gli effetti è spesso sconosciuta o inaccessibile. E forse, per questo, più affascinante."
www.darkentries.be/recensies/chaigidel-neraterrae-lamastu
- "wij zijn erg onder de indruk van deze slepende muziek vol variatie en oriëntaalse invloeden, die uitmondt in acht uitgestrekte experimentele en rituele nummers."
www.rockshock.it/chaigidel-e-neraterrae-recensione-di-lamastu
- "Lamaŝtu è un album ostico, misterioso e dannatamente (è il caso di dirlo) primitivo, sconsigliato a chi dorme ancora con la luce accesa perfetto per i maudits contemporanei, quelli che si lasceranno inghiottire dai magma primordiali, quelli che all’effimero universo dei social preferiscono il buio dell’anima."
www.echoes-zine.cz/recenze/neraterrae-chaigidel-lama-s-tu
- "Tuto nahrávku nejde pojmenovat jinak, než dark ambientní zlo. Rituální, strašidelné, kruté a minimalistické, ale v rámci možností také osvěžující."
- "Společné album italských autorů je ryzí dark ambientní okultismus."

- "Oscurità e paganesimo antico vivono qui."

- "Będzie to świetny soundtrack do lektury na temat mezopotamskiej mitologii, jak również do odwiedzin pobliskich lasów w porach nocnych. Oczywiście, jeśli macie na tyle odwagi…"
