Zaum is a passage toward the dark realizations of the old world; a monolithic, doomy mantra-basedÂ meditative experience forged by bass and drums interwoven with sitar, woodwind, string, and synthÂ textures. Based in New Brunswick - Canada, observers experience a tranquil resonance whereby theÂ astral and physical planes can coexist and be understood from a natural perspective. Zaum 's new album "Divination" is a direct continuance of the ever evolving lore and world in which ZaumÂ has exposed. Â Conceptually, the album unpacks a transmundane darkness from ancient Burma - touchingÂ on conflict, theism, and some esoteric events which play a key role in the developing canon of ZaumÂ based on their previous releases to date. Audibly, the album portrays a dense and vivid dreamstate; supplanting the listener into an overseer'sÂ perspective of these aforementioned esoteric depths, re-experienced with a celestial clarity. Â TheÂ soundscapes within encapsulate an unveiled mysticism harnessed to unpack the fluidity of consciousnessÂ at the crux of the human condition. Â While Zaum's meditative "Mantra Doom" sound stays quite true to what people have experienced to date,Â their sound and presentation certainly has progressed further into new territory on "Divination" with theÂ inclusion of recorded instrumentation such as Jaw Harp, Digideroo, Singing Saw, Dilruba, Saz, BrassÂ Bells, Brass Bowl, and Finger Cymbals. Â In addition, their live experience now features a monumentalÂ change with the recruitment of Egyptian-Canadian evil queen Nawal Doucette to Zaum, performing herÂ mesmerizing dark dance rituals entrancing those who observe.
