Kamadhenu is an album by the Japanese noise musician Merzbow. It is the first volume of the Merzcow trilogy. It is limited to 300 copies (the cover says 350 by mistake) in a Digipak.[3]
The Merzcow trilogy is inspired by Cattle worship in Hinduism, and is dedicated to the Care for Cows charity in Vrindavan, India which takes care of abandoned cattle.[1] The album is named after Kamadhenu, a Hindu goddess who is the mother of all cows and a "cow of plenty". Track 3 refers to Samudra manthan.
The Merzcow trilogy will also consist of Surabhi (part 2), and Goloka (part 3). Merzcow was originally announced as a double LP by the Merzbow blog on February 12th.[4]
All music composed by Masami Akita.
