Transformation is the key to the psyche. It unlocks the hidden domains inside us and finds the paths to inner wisdom. ’Metamorphyses’ is a journey into the deep inner self; a drama of the sublime and transcendental transformation of the psyche through a katabasis ritual presented in six transitional stages slowly moving towards completion. ’Metamorphyses’ is the key to the psyche.Hypnotic, introspective and yet more difficult. Being the seventh full-length 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\u002Fmeditative and harsh\u002Fintense sound structures. The transformation in sound is also present in the perceived emotions. Demanding, tempting and deceptive are only a few elements that characterize the ordeal the listener has to withstand.The expanded edition of 'Metamorphyses' contains the original album with additionally two previously unreleased early sketches from the 'Metamorphyses' session. Also included are selection of previously unreleased live recordings from performances made between 2006-2008 in Sofia, Gent, Salzburg, Alkmaar and Budapest. All music by Peter Andersson. K-14 level mastering 2014. Original art by Kati Astraeir.
