Shapeshifter is more personal and conceptually cohesive record, where music of eccentric Finns speaks about altered states of consciousness, dissolution of identity and irreversible transformation, with native tongue used not as narrative device but as phonetic element that reinforces ritualistic effect, allowing sense of mystery and deeply rooted mythology to be preserved while distancing the listener from direct rational interpretation: music pushes beyond previously focused boundaries into pulsing krautrock, intoxicating electronics, psychedelic rock and even elements of improvised jazz, employed not as experimentation for its own sake but as an organic means of realizing shifting states, acting on the listener through repetitive rhythms, hypnotic atmosphere and simpler metal structures toward less comfortable, yet compellingly immersive framework; German gatefold sleeve orange vinyl edition comes with a pro-printed lyric inner sleeve
