    For over 40,000 years shamanic societies throughout the world have used various musical strategies to achieve altered states of consciousness. These states, which are believed to be essential components to most of their sacred rituals and ceremonies, offer infinite varieties of inner landscapes which the shaman must navigate in order to retrieve insight and wisdom, and bring healing to the community. Drums and percussion, played in a continuous, driving manner are the basic instruments used for these purposes. With this in mind, the CD "Helpers, Guides & Allies" was inspired by Byron's passionate interest and involvement in the healing potential of non-ordinary (altered) states of consciousness.

    Beginning as a collaboration between Steve Roach and Byron Metcalf, the music on THE SERPENT'S LAIR evolved over the past year into an epic 2-CD set, augmented with a myriad of guests. For those familiar with Roach's work, this release has it all. Steve's ultra-soundworlds, hybrid grooves and magical production combined with Byron's acoustic-organic tribal trance patterns set Disc One in motion (in all directions). Aligning with themes of shamanic initiation found throughout the world, this disc is rooted in the organic... the earth... the ancestors... and the initiatory energy of focused transformational ritual practice which is integrated into the alchemical fire of psycho-spiritual death and rebirth. It is here that one is confronted with all the essential elements of danger and possibility.

    In many shamanic cultures, particularly in the Upper Amazon, the snake or serpent is viewed with sacred reverence. Primarily, the serpent models and symbolizes the process of "death and rebirth." As the serpent sheds its skin, leaving behind that which is outgrown or no longer of use, it quietly prepares to move into a "new life."This is a vulnerable period during which the snake is left defenseless against outside threats with no guarantee of survival. For the shamanic initiate, this type of challenge must be faced if one is to step into a "new life." Just like the Shamanic initiate who journeys within to find his source of power and transformation - like the serpent shedding its skin - in our contemporary society we, too, can find similar approaches. If we wish to live fully and soulfully, each of us can choose to access our sources of power and potential for transformation. Such is the way of this shamanic lesson.------------------------------------------------------Featuring Steve Roach: Didgeridoo, Serpent breath, Slow Stones, Groove Alchemy &arrangement. Byron Metcalf: Djembe, frame drum, rattles.
