Zero Kama was a ritual industrial project from Vienna, Austria, formed in 1984 by Michael DeWitt (owner of Nekrophile Rekords). The album "The Secret Eye of L.A.Y.L.A.H." is one of the earliest and most influential ritual ambient releases. The music on this recording was exclusively played with homemade instruments made of human skulls and bones.
Before Zero Kama, DeWitt was involved with the project Korpses Katatonik, playing old school industrial music.
The recording of "The Secret Eye of L.A.Y.L.A.H." took place at the Secret Temple of Laylah from 5th to 28th of May 1984. Dedicated to the symbol of Laylah, meaning night and death, as well as to its numerical equivalent, Oz, a goat or unrestrained sexual force of creation, thus showing the identity of the basic two opposite forces in this generous universe of beauty and strength, in which the lovers may find ecstasy in Pan. In November 1987 Michael DeWitt made a remix of the recording, which was released in 1988 on LP by French label Permis de Construire.
The project Zero Kama also appeared on a few compilations, and recorded a live performance in September 1985 in Arnhem, Netherlands. A planned release of a musical/ritual rendition of "The Book of the Law" was planned, but only one track ended up being completed. Read more on Last.fm.
