"RAISON D’ETRE: Der ewige Maßstab für viele sakrale dark ambient-Produktionen mit einem neuen Werk, welches die stetige Verfeinerung & Verästelung des etablierten Stils eindrucksvoll belegt. Wieder ein einziger ästhetischer Genuss, und niemals lässt einen diese Musik kalt!
“Back again since his "Requiem for Abandoned Souls" from 2004 with a brand new album; a massive wall of dark ambient sounds, drones, water, rusty chains, scraping metals... Transformation is the key to the psyche. Breath and feeling intertwined is the given links for the search of inner wisdom and to unlock the hidden inside us. ‘Metamorphyses’ is a journey into the deep inner; a drama of the sublime and trancendental transformation of the psyche through a katabasis ritual of six transitional stages into a final completion. ‘Metamorphyses’ is a key to the psyche. Hypnotic, introspective and yet more difficult. As the seventh fullenght album from Raison d’être ‘Metamorphyses’ is in many aspects different from previous works by Peter Andersson. The organic flow and the use of drones has been extended creating a varied output of both calm/meditative and harsh/intense sound structures. The transformation in sound is also present in the feelings; demanding, tempting and deceptive are only a few elements that characterize the ordeal the listener has to withstand. No further presentation of a genious is necessary, - this is the work of Peter Andersson.” [label info]
