OK, this was fascinating. From the description:
>>>Copyright notice: Sorry, Universal Music — this song was written in 1400 BCE, carved into clay, and dedicated to a moon goddess. If you own this, please provide the clay tablet receipt. Experience the oldest known song in the world reimagined as a Doom Metal song — a slow, crushing and ritualistic transformation that drags a 3,400-year-old hymn from ancient Mesopotamia into a modern wall of distortion, weight and atmosphere.
>>>This track is based on the Hurrian Hymn No. 6, written around 1400 BCE and discovered on a clay tablet in the ancient city of Ugarit (modern-day Syria). It is widely considered the oldest surviving piece of written music that can still be reconstructed today. >>>The hymn was dedicated to Nikkal, a moon goddess associated with fertility, and includes lyrics in the Hurrian language alongside instructions for tuning a lyre — an astonishing glimpse into the earliest known musical system in human history.
