Wyatt E. write the soundtrack of the exile to Babylon after the siege of Jerusalem by King Nebuchadnezzar Il 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 deepens its exploration of ancient Babylon with an almost mythical approach through the eyes of the exiled captives from Jerusalem.“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 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.
Brief reminder: In 2015, their debut EP Mount Sinai/Aswan caught the eye of Shalosh Cult, a Jerusalem-based label which released their critically acclaimed debut album Exile to Beyn Neharot in 2017.
In 2022, their second full-length record “āl bēlūti dārû” (“The Eternal City” in Akkadian language) marks the rise of the band on the doom
scene. Mixed by the godfather of doom Billy Anderson (Sleep, Om, Melvins,...), the album led them to a 95-concert tour across Europe and
the Middle East. They played at notable events such as Roadburn Mystic Festival, DesertFest London, ArcTanGent, DesertFest Belgium, Dunajam, Stoned From The Underground, Red Smoke Festival, A Colossal Weekend, Rock in Bourlon, Dour Festival, Fusion Festival, Stick & Stone, Astral Festival Bristol, Black Earth Festival and many more.
In 2023, the group composed for the motion picture soundtrack Bowling Saturne and released Roadburn-commissioned live-collaboration
with the English band Five The Hierophant and singer Tomer Damsky under the name Atonia.
The Cyclist Conspiracy
This Serbian collective from Belgrade has been making genre-defying music for over a decade, shifting between psychedelic rock, world music, folk and desert rock. Their distinctive sound is based on rich arrangements, copious instruments, a mystical mood, and quasi-cinematic drama.
Their music remains largely instrumental, supported by vocals used as an element of atmosphere rather than a vehicle for lyrics. The band is inspired by Balkan and Middle Eastern traditions, rebetiko music, and the aesthetics of 1970s psychedelic rock. Their work resembles a journey through different cultures and eras, combining archaic and modern elements.
On Back To Hermetics And Martial Arts, Vol. 1 they combine psychedelia, ritual music, Asian influences, and spaghetti western drama. Of course, with a touch of irony and a wink to the listener." - The Quietus

-Wyatt E. je belgijski ritual doom bend koji nam dolazi po prvi put u Beograd u sklopu turneje povodom svog dugo iscekivanog albuma **zamāru ultu qereb ziqquratu – Part 1 (Music from Inside the Ziggurat).**Reč je o prvom poglavlju ciklusa od dva konceptualna albuma u kojima bend produbljuje svoje istraživanje drevnog Vavilona, pristupajući temi gotovo mitski, kroz oči prognanih zatočenika iz Jerusalima.
Uz učešće sedam međunarodnih saradnika, zamāru ultu qereb ziqquratu ima potencijal da postane jedan od najambicioznijih projekata na doom sceni, kako u produkcijskom, tako i u konceptualnom smislu. Album će objaviti jedna od najuglednijih izdavačkih kuća u žanru – Heavy Psych Sounds.
Zvučne granice pomerene su angažovanjem dva bubnjara snimana istovremeno, čime se postiže imerzivni efekat udaljene mase. Eklektična kombinacija instrumenata – među kojima su saz, viola, sitar i truba – prožima se sa analognim i digitalnim elementima, obogaćujući zvučni pejzaž. Prisutan je i omaž turskom kompozitoru Fazıl Say, kroz citat iz njegove Simfonije Mesopotamia.
Po prvi put, uz instrumentalne kompozicije pojavljuju se i dve vokalne numere. Iranska pevačica Nina Saiedi daje svoj eterični glas pesmi „The Diviner's Prayer to the Gods of the Night“, otpevanoj na akadskom jeziku, dok dirigent hora iz Jerusalima, Tomer Damsky, donosi upečatljivu interpretaciju kompozicije Im Lelya na aramejskom, dodajući albumu duboku vokalnu dimenziju. Završni miks potpisuje renomirani producent Tim De Gieter, poznat po radu sa bendovima Amenra, Brutus i Absent in Body, čime je celokupnom izdanju udahnut završni, majstorski pečat.
Podsećanja radi, njihov debitantski EP Mount Sinai/Aswan iz 2015. godine privukao je pažnju jerusalimske izdavačke kuće Shalosh Cult, koja je 2017. objavila hvaljeni debitantski album Exile to Beyn Neharot.
Godine 2022. izlazi njihov drugi studijski album „āl bēlūti dārû“ („Večni grad“ na akadskom), koji označava snažan uspon benda na doom sceni. Album je miksovao „kum dooma“ Billy Anderson (poznat po radu sa Sleep, Om i Melvins), nakon čega je bend krenuo na turneju od 95 koncerata širom Evrope i Bliskog istoka. Nastupali su na značajnim festivalima kao što su Roadburn Festival, Mystic Festival, Desertfest London, ArcTanGent, Desertfest Belgium, Dunajam, Stoned From The Underground, Dour Festival, Fusion Festival i mnogim drugim.
Tokom 2023. godine bend je komponovao muziku za filmsku produkciju Bowling Saturne, a potom objavio i live-kolaboraciju naručenu od strane festivala Roadburn, sa engleskim sastavom Five the Hierophant i pevačem Tomerom Damskim, pod nazivom Atonia.
-The Cyclist Conspiracy su jedinstveni fenomen iz Beograda. Alhemijski zvuk ansambla je zasnovan u teškom, psihodeličnom, ceremonijalnom roku i inspirisan elementima geografije koja grubo koreposndira sa Vizantijskim carstvom: bliskoistočnim skalama, balkanskim muzičkim tradicijama, grčkim rebetikom i muzikom za giallo i špageti vestern filmove. Za deset godina postojanja, ovaj eklektični orkestar je dobijao pozive da svira na raznoraznim događajima, od alternativnih festivala do svadbi i nastupao je sa bendovima poput Acid Mothers Temple, King Dude i Bombina.
Ovaj beogradski kolektiv već više od decenije stvara žanrovski neuhvatljivu muziku, prelazeći od psihodeličnog roka, preko world music-a i folka, do desert rock-a. Njihov prepoznatljiv zvuk zasniva se na bogatim aranžmanima, mnoštvu instrumenata, mističnom raspoloženju i kvazi-filmskoj dramaturgiji.
Njihova muzika je najvećim delom instrumentalna, dok se vokali koriste kao element atmosfere, a ne kao nosilac teksta. Bend inspirišu balkanske i bliskoistočne tradicije, rebetiko i estetika psihodeličnog roka sedamdesetih. Njihov rad podseća na putovanje kroz različite kulture i epohe, kombinujući arhaične i moderne elemente.
Na izdanju Back To Hermetics And Martial Arts, Vol. 1 spajaju psihodeliju, ritualnu muziku, azijske uticaje i dramaturgiju špageti-vestern filmova. Naravno, uz dozu ironije i diskretno namigivanje slušaocu.” – The Quietus
