Raison D'etre
Metamorphyses (expanded Edition) (2cd)
The expanded double-CD edition of 'Metamorphyses' contains the original album remastered according to the K-14 level standard. Additonally, two previosuly unreleased early sketches from the 'Metamorphyses' session have been added to the first disc. The second disc contains a selection of previously unreleased live recordings from performances that took place between 2006-2008 in Sofia, Gent, Salzburg, Alkmaar and Budapest. Comes in a 6-panel digipak with original art by Kati Astraeir. Transformation is the key to the psyche. It unlocks the hidden domains inside us and finds the paths to inner wisdom. 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 have been extended, creating a varied output of both calm/meditative and harsh/intense 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.
