and had established themselves as a well known dance act on the club circles.
After signing to the UK goa/psychedelic trance label Atomic Records they released their full length album in 1999

entitled "Letting Go" that received excellent reviews internationally.
The album featured actual guitarist and drummer on selected tracks adding a different vibe to their work.
Their music style links heavy beats with dark psy/goa trance along with experimental techno influences

that work well on fast tracks and slowed down melodies.

Udumbal was formed in 1998 by Voist Angiras as an experimental project 

in which there was an attempt to recreate the ritual Vedic Brahmans in the style of black metal.

With the help of Wraith Angiras on bass, sampling and programming 

they recorded their first album in 1998 entitled "Sarcis".
After the publication of "Sarcis", work began on the following material,

that was released at the end of 1999 under the title "Ahi Budhnya".
The album is based on the envocation of the archetype of the Serpent and to the primary Chaos

and its unmanifested nature, consuming the duality of Creation through the womb of Shakti,

in connection with the tantric tradition.
Both albums were originally released in a cassette format on Possession Productions.
From 1998 to 2008 another four albums were recorded that finally released in 2011 as a compilation box

under the title "From Beyond MXMVIII-MMVIII".
Udumbal's lyrics are in Sanskrit, Sumerian and Ancient Russian.
