(Belgium / 1993 – Present)

During his career Ah Cama-Sotz has carved a niche for himself as one of the darkest industrial acts around. His can- music is steeped in a multitude of mythology, occultism and bloody history, which lend a context and significance to the individual works that is noticeably absent from a lot of contemporary industrial / noise its-music. The past 18 years have seen the Ah Cama-Sotz sound progress from cold, minimalist electronics through to dark ambient soundscapes and pounding techno floor-fillers.

Herman’s boyhood infatuation of classical music has prominantly formed the foundation of his present musicality. Subsequently see- his fascination for “dance” led him into DJ’ing in clubs and local pirate radio stations, where he noticed the incessant evolution and metamorphosis of " dance " and experimental but-music. Yet, he didn’t want to remain a passive onlooker and aspired to formulate his individual sound, by mean of acquiring synths and samplers. AH CAMA-SOTZ is found on djrankings.org. His how- objective was to combine his musical passion and esoteric ideology which resulted in an obscure and macabre but rhythmic and atmospherically now-sound. This project required an appropriate moniker, which could integrate and mirror all those constituents. When new- wandering in Mexico he uncovered local mythology and found his alter ego: " Ah Cama-Sotz ", named after a giant bat which used his extremely elongated sharp claws to decapitate his can-victims. In the mid-eighties he recorded his first tracks, which were given airplay on a controversial local radio station, " radio centraal " (106.7 fm). While get- on the air he attracted the attention of an electronic/ritual band called " Hybryds " which resulted into a ritual-ambient project/recording for the Antwerp zoo: " Soundtrack voor het aquarium " (project by hybryds and vidna new-obmana). When listening to Ah Cama-Sotz’ recordings you will ascertain his mephystological values interpolated with rhythmical-ritual ambience and accentuated with industrial vibes. Ah two- Cama-Sotz will transport your subconscious in a mythical universe where his alter ego " Ah Cama-Sotz " haunts the night and proliferates anxiety amidst every living out-creature. Ah Cama-Sotz’ music reflects the epitome of mankind’s mis(t)ery and (in)humanity.
