ZERO KAMA - Zero Kama 3LP BOX
Release of 2020.
Deluxe collector's 3xLP BOX, limited 500.
Zero Kama was an experimental music project founded by Zoe
DeWitt in 1983. The first release of Zero Kama was the title V.V.V.V.V.,
recorded for the Nekrophile Rekords cassette compilation The Beast 666.
In 1984 followed the cassette release of the album The Secret Eye of
L.A.Y.L.A.H., which is commonly regarded as one of the key albums of the
industrial-subgenre 'ritual'. The fact that all instruments used for
this recording were exclusively made from human bones and skulls, its
elusive musical style, the implied occult symbolism as well as the
short-time existence of Zero Kama, whose backgrounds remained unknown
for a long time, have been contributing to the cult status of this
project until now.
Following an invitation of the
NL-Centrum Amsterdam, Zero Kama played two live concerts in the
Netherlands in 1985, and - after two more releases on the Nekrophile
compilation The Archangels of Sex Rule the Destruction of the Regime -
completely withdrew from the public. While The Secret Eye of
L.A.Y.L.A.H. was recorded solely by Zoe DeWitt, the later live
performances were realized with befriended musicians such as Didi
Neidhart and Muki Pakesch, whom Zoe DeWitt knew from the Austrian music
underground of the 1980s.
Since that time there have been a couple of re-releases of
Zero Kama recordings, amongst others the 1988 Vinyl version by the
French label Permis de Construire, followed by the CD release in 1991.
In 2001 the French label Athanor published The Goatherd and the Beast, a
10" vinyl containing tracks from various compilations that were
recorded besides The Secret Eye of L.A.Y.L.A.H.. This collection was
also included as a bonus CD in the Live in Armhem double CD release by
Athanor in 2008. In 2014 Athanor finally published a remastered version
of The Secret Eye of L.A.Y.L.A.H. as both vinyl and CD.
