Kam Min Janneh (Arabic for How Many Heavens) is a 16-track studio album produced by Acamol and Julmud with lyrics written and performed by Haykal and Julmud. The musicians immerse us in their vanguard contemporary interpretation of various living musical traditions in the Arab world, produced and envisaged from within the soundscapes of Palestine. Acamol and Julmud’s broken beats, chopped bass lines, and bleeding textured melodies progress and delay in concurrent unison with Haykal's lyrics, each verse landing as a punch in the gut.

Creating an album that reflects the urgency of the years of its making, a call to break away from the current world, and a call to militate towards its unmaking. Haykal’s verses are rich and humorous, agitational, and frustrated, shifting and layering throughout the album, as he summons many voices that oftentimes utter politically lucid statements while at others pronounce disdain through performatively diabolical remarks, while Acamol’s and Julmud’s compositions and audial interventions lay the infrastructural basis for an emergent sound from below the soil, declaring the cracks and twitches in the muscles of the colonized and disfigured at verge of a ceremonial eruption.

Haykal is a Palestinian artist who has been creating and performing music since 2012. Over the years, he has performed in various venues and museums around the world and collaborated with numerous Palestinian and Arab artists, including Makimakkuk, Muqata’a, Julmud, and El Rass. To date, Haykal has released four EPs and is currently working on his first full-length album.

Julmud is a music producer/researcher and a sound engineer/designer based in Ramallah-Palestine that creates, composes, samples and combines sounds from across the globe to create his own non-generic form of music/sound. He has produced works and collaborated with different artists such as Al Nather, Muqata’a, Haykal, Baraari, Makimakkuk and Walaa Sbait among many other international artists. He is currently in the process of producing a variety of solo and collaborative works. His debut album ‘Tuqoos’ was released on March 30th 2022 on Bilna’es.

Acamol works to lower a fever and acts quickly. Additionally, Acamol can reduce pain caused by headaches, toothaches by the flu, cold, rheumatic pain, and severe heartache. Acamol does not affect the memory and can be taken by patients who suffer from colonial trauma. Although they don’t occur in most people, some effects can be serious, this is especially true if you take more than the recommended amount. It doesn’t actually reduce swelling or inflammation. Instead, it’s thought that it blocks the release of certain chemicals in your brain that signal the sensation of pain. It’s not fully known how Acamol actually operates.
