SHIBALBA Premier "Opening The Shadow Box."
April 2, 2017
Meditative dark trance/ambient/shamanic act SHIBALBA has revealed a video for a new song, in anticipation of the upcoming album "Psychostasis - Death Of Khat", due out on April 30th via Agonia Records. Watch the video for "Opening The Shadow Box" at this link:
SHIBALBA is Acherontas V.Priest (Acherontas), Karl NE/Nachzehrer (Nåstrond) and Aldra-Al-Melekh. Their music is saturated with the mysticism of the East. It's richly detailed and multidimensional, while layered with chanting and broadly defined elements of traditional ritual and shamanic music. Apart from contemporary synths and guitar drones, the band makes use of bones and skulls as percussion instruments, Tibetan horns, Tibetan singing bowls, bone & horne trumpets, darbuka's (goblet drums) as well as ceremonial bells and gongs. The band's intention, in their own words, is to "guide the subconsious of the individual to dream beyond the skin of matter & to dream in ecstasy and exult".
"Psychostasis - Death Of Khat" was recorded by the band themselves in Greece and Sweden, in a manner in which sound vibrations have been registered in a form analogous to the way in which the human ear perceives sound. High standards were provided especially for the vinyl edition of the album.
The cover artwork was made by Karl NE.

SHIBALBA commented: "Τhe secret society of Shibalba inaugurate the transparent alignment beyond death and the transcendence of the Higher Self. The conscious pneuma transposes the bridge among worlds to unite Now with Forever. Our physical vessel, our Khat, is only the conduit for the attainment of spiritual and intellectual enlightenment. Soul and intelligence do not reside in the estates of the everlasting. Divided we are at the death of Khat, before Psychostasis".
"Ten meditative worlds experienced and manifested in Sweden and Greece by the ancient teachings of eastern visions and of personal empirism using physical ritual recordings and instruments. Unlocking the portals of the individual to new dimensions of experience to dream beyond-above & below!".
