Taking its name from a form of hallucinogenic drug that grows on decomposing flesh, “Psilocybe Necrophila” was recorded in parallel with Finn Niko Skorpio’s last album “Half Born in Half Light”. For this release Skorpio took his collection of old 80’s heavy metal cassettes containing mostly demos and live recordings and mutilated them in malfunctioning cassette players, recording the resulting sound, processing it and reprocessing it over and over to use as source material for this recording. Augmenting the recordings with new sounds to add a degree of energy and life to them, Skorpio created new music out of old, his theme for this album being death and rebirth. Opening in typical with the dark, disorientating, experimental swirl and demonic reversed sounds of “The Day The Night Embraces”, the mood changes with “Unended”, a track that focuses on a deep, minimal drone that mutates into a eerie atmospheric soundscape. From there, things get somewhat more abstract, psychedelic and disturbing with “Untitled” and even more tortured and disturbed with “Numberless Reflections”. Closing the album is the 12-minute “The Backyard Trail” which starts out as a vibrating drone but builds and dissipates, slowly mutating with dark atmospheric ambience. Throughout the second half of the track it becomes a slow paced song with a distorted melancholic voice lamenting death to a repeated piano refrain. The pre-order edition of the album came with a hand decorated, numbered and titled Rorschach style inner sleeve with an additional three inch cd containing a single 16 and a half minute track.
The untitled bonus track contains a creeping windswept soundscape that develops into a flurry of cascading rhythms that crisscross and interact to eventually dissolve into ethereal murmurs as the track closes. (PL:7/8)PL.
