The Mighty One’s Tim Steinruck and Papua New Guinea’s Ancient Dusk unite to record their new single “YHWH” set to be released on December 27th.

Yahweh YHWH

The definition: Yahweh, name for the God of the Israelites, representing the biblical pronunciation of “YHWH,” the Hebrew name revealed to Moses in the book of Exodus. 

When pronounced without vowels, it sounds like breathing: YH (inhale), WH (exhale). A baby’s first cry, their first breath, speaks the name of God. A deep sigh, groan, or gasp calls His name, too heavy for mere words. 

The story:

with a specific word and melody in his awareness, as often happens with this spiritually inspired creative. He quickly wiped the sleep from his eyes without questioning what he’d heard, and stumbled to his recording studio where he picked up his guitar, plugged in his microphone, and pressed record. What resulted was a reggae song that captured what he had heard in his dream. 

Earlier this year songwriter Tim Steinruck aka STEINRUCK, awoke from a lucid dream

Afterwords he researched the meaning of Yahweh and was shocked to realize it’s divine, sacred history and meaning.

Typically Tim is a hard rock and acoustic rock artist but this song inspired a creative departure. 

His instincts guided him to frontman Tarzzy Metta of the Papua New Guinean band Ancient Dusk who had recently signed to Canada’s Big Records, a company for which whom Tim consults.

The song was warmly received by Tarzzy and his producer with the agreement to add their signature island sound. Ancient Dusk producer Raymond Waloloki immediately envisioned a cinematic approach to the song which now includes their indigenous Bola language and features traditional Papua New Guinean native instruments. 

Tarzzy Metta recounts how emotional he and the Ancient Dusk group felt after hearing what had been captured in their recording session. 

Tim also shares how he was brought to tears when he heard what they had done with the song.

YHWH is not just a song. It is a energetic transmission of the ineffable essence of the Creator that transcends time and space, and celebrates our collective human experience with Him.

YHWH releases to all streaming platforms on December 27, 2024.

Steinruck and his indigenous influenced acoustic rock band B.E.A.R. will join Ancient Dusk in Papua New Guinea for the Rise Up TV Tour and the filming of their thirteenth docu-drama episode that captures the touring experiences of artists around the world.
