Notes

111 MHz: ‘The Diviner’s Prayer to the Gods of the Night.’ You may not have asked for Belgian progressive doom metal, but here’s Wyatt E. with Lowen’s Nina Saeidi. This track scans less as heavy and more as something adjacent to Dead Can Dance, with swirling mysticism and propulsive acoustic guitars. And the liner notes offer some unexpected interpretive guidance: “Wyatt E. writes the soundtrack of the exile of the people from Bethlehem to Babylon in 587 B.C.” From the new album Zam​ā​ru Ultu Qereb Ziqquratu Part 1.
