Biography
"The cold mystic winds of Nanakanisurra," a scarlet spell upon Prometheus and fervent candlelight are the doleful elements that brought Equimanthorn together in the year 1992. The members of Absu were determined to choose an alternate path. This pathway warped them through storms of occult sciences and the mythology of the ancient Sumerians.
In the past decade, Equimanthorn has manifested as a wayward project commanding the participation of other prominent occult-minded musicians. Through experimental and droned ceremonial oblations, Equimanthorn expresses anguish and treacherous lust without ever forgetting the ironic twist that endures in their craft.
Equimanthorn is a project that exceeds the limits of a category for their style of occult-ambient music. The elements, in which are used, might be labeled as ritualistic, mysterious, exquisite yet haunting to name a few. This is the ultimate soundtrack dedicated to Sumerian fables, featuring members from Absu, Zemial, Melechesh and The Soil Bleeds Black!

In this enthralling work, Equimanthorn, a wayward project arising from Sumerian-fabled and candlelit peculiarities, has contrived, ordered and combined these fragmented pieces for you. Such synthesis has transpired in order to create an authentic portrait of pure ritual magic(k).
Designed audibly with intonational artifacts of the period, the sounds on this record guide the listener through the ominous realms of Equimanthorn. Passionate, exotic and memorable, Exalted are the Seven Throne Bearers of Ninnkigal is a compelling mélange of myths timely in its rediscovery. "When the seventh day arrived…"
