"walking through the streets of venezia, i imagined a musical soundtrack. obsessed with the city’s beauty and history, i planned to produce my own musical tale. lots of cultures and civilisations influenced venice history. their rituals and knowledge make part of the obscure side which existed throughout the centuries. i was thinking of pure ritualistic and tribal music, a more specific ritual sound as what i produced up to now. ah cama-sotz is known for tribal ritualistic stuff, but these 4 tracks would follow a different path. venice gave me the possibility to express myself in a different musical context, still with a recognisable sound conveying the listener throughout musical culture and history. charged mystical atmospheres with sensual undertones and eastern influences." ah cama-sotz 2022

Chimère Obscure

Chimère Obscure (Snippets)

Ah Cama-Sotz is the musical project of Belgian artist Herman Klapholz, blending dark ambient, industrial, tribal, and EBM genres. Active since the early 1990s, the name is inspired by the Mayan bat deity Camazotz, reflecting its themes of darkness, mysticism, and the underworld. The music ranges from haunting cinematic soundscapes to energetic, rhythmic club tracks, often exploring apocalyptic, ritualistic, and spiritual concepts. Renowned in the underground electronic scene, Ah Cama-Sotz creates immersive atmospheres that captivate listeners with a fusion of heavy beats, ritual chants, and eerie ambiances. It’s both a sonic journey and a deep exploration of human and mythic darkness.
