Equimanthorn

**Equimanthorn** is an experimental music project rooted in dark ambient and industrial sounds, active since the late 1980s. Founded by Boyd Rice (known for his work as NON) and Robert Turman, the duo crafts ritualistic soundscapes infused with occult themes and nods to ancient Mesopotamian mythology—evident in tracks like *Nindinugga Nimshimshargal Enlillara* and *Exalted Are the Seven Throne Bearers of Ninnkigal*. Their work often blends eerie drones, primal percussion, and cryptic vocal incantations, creating an immersive, otherworldly vibe that feels equal parts ceremonial and unsettling.

Though sporadic in output, Equimanthorn’s releases—including recent titles like *A Fifth Conjuration* and *Second Sephira Cella*—maintain their signature focus on esoteric mysticism and arcane textures. Their collaborations with artists like Current 93 and ties to the underground experimental scene have cemented their cult status among fans of avant-garde and dark occult music. Equimanthorn remains a shadowy, enigmatic force, channeling ancient whispers into a modern sonic lexicon.
