Thunderous hails to Dorian Grey for “Semjaza.” This cd is brilliant in the truest sense of the word: lustrous, vivid, refulgent; it crackles with might and glistens with a serpentine sheen. The rich orchestration teems with powerful passages and darksome melodies; the superbly-wrought progressions glide effortlessly, slither from celestial climes to stygian deeps. Every time I listen to “Semjaza” I embark on some type of crepuscular voyage through weirdsome groves, vine-choked ruins, balefire-dotted hills. This music conjures up so many wondrous and phantasmagoric visions: The sweeping vastness of “Novus Ordo Seclorum” and “Imperium et Libertas” evokes scenes of jutting grey towers, robed hierarchs, red triumphs; the ominous, yet quite ethereal and gossamer “Ultima Diaboli” is a skullduggery-in-the catacombs journey, one which wends from doom-fraught to transcendent in majestic fashion; the dolorous “Philanthropy Eviscerated” seems a tapestry woven of tragic ruminations hanging in an empty banquet hall beset by wraiths and eldritch whispers; the brooding, minatory, and wonderfully creepy “Malleus Maleficarum” beckons one to pick up a war hammer and skulk through shadowed corridors in search of fresh craniums, and “The Sigil of Baphomet” could very well be the crimson aftermath of such a yearning; the hauntingly beautiful “Love Songs of the Left Hand Path” is a brimming cup of unbridled emotion, raw desire, incarnadine dreams; “Euphoria in the Reign of the Light Bringer” brings to mind pageantic, lubricious orgies of ancient splendor in the torch-lit bowels of the earth—the piece morphs from lusty and carnal to delicate and darkly romantic, then ingeniously back to licentious; in “Semjaza Rising” and “Lex Talionis” one gets the sense that they are marching off to some dread and miraculous place, filing in solemn procession to a woodland conclave, slogging to a crow-haunted scaffold, pilgrimaging to paradise... “Semjaza” is a serious work of lust, love, and liberation. —J. L. “The Barbarian Bard” Burnett

This album envelopes our souls and minds all at once. With a teasingly new sound that sets it apart from everything else that I have heard coming from the sea of musicians. I would recommend this to anyone who enjoys meditation music and those of us who are searching for some! A piece of work that intrigues your mind process and keeps you wanting for more. Voodoo Queen
