| Band biography |
Yamatu is a manifestation and dedication to the coming into being of Dalkhu Zilittu. The musical spells of fire and blood are scripted under the powers of this being. The conjurings of Yamatu are an artful and creative communication focused on the emotions and experiences of Dalkhu Zilittu. In turn, these spells are offered up to human and non-human minds so as to externally influence and inculcate Yamatu's personal spiritual atmospheres upon those who desire a taste of immortal blood. The music is a congregation of effects, notes, and sounds weaved together in a ritual of complexities (consisting of thoughts, dreams, journeys, and emotional climates) focused upon thy citadel of serpentines. The music is a ritual of power that recognizes and shapes one's being in manners that are not commonplace to experience. Its spell effects, in similar ways, those who can ascribe and relate to the themes therein. The lyrical aspect of Yamatu is a creative process and completion that insp! ires, directs, and communicates the powers invested in Yamatu by the bloodstone: Asaru (a stone that is not a stone -- an eye, opening and closing upon the infinite throne of chaos). Penning in grand lyrical flight allows Dalkhu Zilittu to become lord over Yamatu's own aesthetic conception and design.
Yamatu compromises an intersting blend between Egyptian and Sumer-Akkadian mythic images, concepts, and pantheons (in accordance with additional occult concepts and systems). This entails the creation of a rather obscure symbolic structure that becomes quite complex and esoteric. The imagery and systems involved with Yamatu are utilized only as a conglomerative essence for Dalkhu Zilittu alone. Others may fall privy to such systems, but it should be realized that there is no adamant 'religious' overtone to the work herein. These creations are meaningful to only to Dalkhu Zilittu. Thus. the system involved varies and evolves as the progression of time persits.
Due to the sanctity of Yamatu to its creator, Yamatu has only been introduced to selected listeners. This passion shall continue, but hopefully under the medium and format of mini-Cds. This musical format will allow greater ease of listening and higher quality packaging; hence, permitting greater artistic atmospheres to be invoked. Yamatu will always be focused on personal gratification by way of the creative process, shunning any and all political and/or monetary motifs. Yamatu shall always stand as an uninhibited reflection of Dalkhu Zilittu.

YAMATU genesis: YAMATU is the chronicle of an immortal being, utilizing its vessel as a messenger of apocalyptic foresight to humans and of hope and awareness to beings owning immortal potential. It is for this reason that YAMATU is understood by some and misperceived by others.
The messages and chronicles of YAMATU are expressed in a medium that might be described as "severe occult metal." While YAMATU is an entity of the extreme heavy metal variety, it has no authentic relationship to a "heavy metal genre" in the sense that the purpose and definition of YAMATU reach beyond a culture or genre. This fact becomes apparent when YAMATU is perceived in its breadth of textual, artistic, and musical eccentricity.
The public genesis of YAMATU, in 1993, proved to rectify the project as an early forerunner to the American black metal movement and has thus been heralded as a "cult" formation, yet obscure and still little known. A lack of publicity was both intentional and necessary at that particular juncture in time. YAMATU has therefore only presented several limited demonstration cassettes, and a limited edition CDR/Book showcasing its past. Presently, YAMATU is in league with Trocar Records for the publication of a debut CD-Book Boxset to be titled "Mah Immina Guza Utu Ninnkigal," or "Exalted are the Seven Throne Bearers of Ninnkigal."
Essentially, YAMATU expresses and is, in fact, the realization, self-aseity, and coming into being of a Vampire. Alchemical in nature, the vessel owning this immortal spirit has utilized the services of reason, magic, and the Undead to rectify and acknowledge the ancient genetic path upon which it has evolved.
