ROCK THE GODDESS

" Serpentine does it again! This second album reveals a refinement of style and sound that her first raw and powerful album opened up, with more world beat, middle eastern flair. As always, she does not concern herself with merely sounding pleasing to the ear. Her music is designed to stir up, to confront, to empower, to awaken, to invoke, to be dark and powerful. Some of her pieces such as “ Heru-Ra-Ha” are pure invocations, complete with her trademark hisses, groans and wild high howls. The sounds she makes are evocative and compelling and move one into an altered state. Other instrumentation includes her simple and effective synthesizer backgrounds. ”Rock the Goddess” takes the classic chant “ We all come from the Goddess “ and takes off into a deep trance rock groove. It must be said that the drumming, funky bass, dark tasteful, polyrhythmic synth and lead guitar work are all outstanding, pulsing and flowing to frame her moving invocations. With her ethereal voice and powerful music, I can’t help but thinking of her as Enya on a broomstick! This magnificent album may disturb some, be forewarned, but listen if you dare...This is another treasure from the new rock high priestess.”
