~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The
inspiration for Lycantrop�s second compilation, Distorted Shire, comes
from Greek myth and legend. For thousands of years, the ancient Greeks
celebrated the �Eleusinian Mysteries,� an annual ritual that culminated
with group consumption of the barley-based, entheogenic kykeon drink
and a night of wild dancing. Greece was also home to the father of all
Lycans: King Lykaon, transformed into a wolf by Zeus himself.
Transformation lies at the heart of these ancient traditions and
tales�and trance formation is Lycan lifeblood.
Distorted Shire
is a �split plus friends,� with Nelson (Mind Distoriton System) and
Mario (Darkshire) at its core, and featuring an all-Greek cast of
producers, with the exception of Mind Distortion System. MDS and
Darkshire collaborated on two tracks; the rest of the album is split
between the two artists and features each of them solo, as well as with
friends, including artist Dimitri Dark Elf on tracks with each. The
result of this tight-knit collaboration is a highly cohesive and
smooth-flowing album with dynamic basslines and energetic, shifting
rhythms: acoustic kykeon for the wolf within!
Lycanophiles everywhere, prepare for lift-off!
Efxaristo Ellada! Thank you, Greece!
