I just laughed way too hard for five minutes over the fact that Dionysis drinks Diet Coke and Baccus drinks Pepsi.

Sanct of pan - The sanctuary is within a cave cut into the rock on the akropolis. He was honored by shepherds as the protector of flocks, the god of panic.

Dyonisis-Intoxicated
Here at Rhythm & Booze we regularly take a trip to the darkside in order to bring you the best music for those candlelit pagan parties you all host from time to time and in Dyonisis we may have found the perfect soundtrack to those nights lurking in the shadows.
Dyonisis are a four-piece hailing from Sheffield who have been together in one form or another since 2000 quietly writing, recording and releasing their dark delights. Intoxicated is their second full length album and I have to say it's something of a majestic gothic masterpiece. The quartet aren't your typical goth band they take influences from ethereal folk, trip-hop, metal, progressive guitar passages and dark wave to create a stunning sound that's both beautiful and sinister.
We Are..opens the proceedings with a sub two minute introduction to the bands icy yet melodic soundscapes, stunning use of vocal harmonies and lush instrumentation casts a spell over the listener right from the off. From here the band offer up deep downbeat basslines, waves of metallic guitar and those stunning vocals throughout the album's eleven track duration.
To pick highlights would be a little unfair as every track on here is as the title would suggest intoxicating, Of The Fear offers up the burst of metal, whilst still managing to sound like a full bodied work of beauty, the vocal interplay and near choral vocal outro on Arachne's Song manages to completely bewitch the listener. Elsewhere Eve's Song adds layer after layer of guitar to an already contagious mix of dense instrumentation and chanted vocal forming perhaps the heaviest track on here without ever losing sight of the songs melody and rich harmonies. Oxygen is another track worthy of note, it's a melodic number complete with piano and Pink Floyd like guitars showcasing another side to the compelling sound of Dyonisis.
So to sum Intoxicated up if you like a bit of goth, darkwave or even a bands like Curve and The Cocteau Twins you should find this right up your poorly lit alley, it's a beautiful release that seduces the listener and carries them on a mesmeric journey through the shadows.

Parmi les choses très bizarres que j’ai pu écouter au cours de mes folles années, il y avait Bel Canto, un groupe de pop-rock-électro-avant-l’heure à voix féminines, dont je retrouve quelques intonations dans Intoxicated, le premier album des britanniques de Dyonisis.
Je retrouve dans cet album le côté rock folkoïde planant et lumineux de Shimmering Warm and Bright, avec une composante électro beaucoup plus présente. Ça fait un peu penser à Dead Can Dance et à d’autres groupes de folk-électro, du genre Qntal.
Intoxicated compte onze postes de longueur moyenne (entre cinq et six minutes), pour une durée de presque une heure. Si c’est peu prog dans la forme, ça l’est beaucoup plus dans le fond, pour la puissance évocatrice de la musique; il y a là incontestablement matière à une musique d’ambiance pour un univers de science-fiction, onirique et/ou mystique.
La force principale de Dyonisis est sans conteste son duo vocal féminin, Nel et Lou (cette dernière étant également au piano) qui joue avec brio des harmonies vocales. Le bassiste et le guitariste qui les accompagnent ne sont pas en reste, mais l’ensemble est quelque peu pénalisé par une batterie électronique peu inspirée.
Le défaut est somme toute mineur je pourrai aussi râler sur le côté répétitif répétitif de certaines pistes, mais c’est le genre qui veut ça) et ne parvient pas à gâcher la qualité intrinsèque de cet album.
Il est cependant difficile pour moi de recommander à l’un ou l’autre d’entre vous ce qui est surtout un coup de cœur perso. Heureusement, Intoxicated est disponible au téléchargement sur Bandcamp, avec une bonne sélection des morceaux (neuf sur onze) également à l’écoute, pour se faire une idée.
Je vous propose aussi l’extrait « Arachne’s Song »:

If you like your goth with an ethereal, slightly folky twist, check them out. They're a really promising independent British band and they're really lovely people too.
