Aug 15, 2020Album is more instrumental comparing to their other albums, kinda reminds me "Spiritchaser" album. At first I wasn't impressed very much by it, but after several times of listening, I fell in love with it. It's another masterpiece by Dead Can Dance.

Nov 7, 2018Regarding Dionysus: this album is almost as magical and mysterious as Spiritchaser (My personal favorite); but moves in it's own direction as a concept. This is a whole album: solid, complex, rich and enchanting. Loved it as an evolution that some fans may not like; in my case, my heart smiles.
PS. The headphones experience is overwhelming, highly recommended! -
Nov 7, 2018Amazing and probably their most conceptual album. Divided in 2 acts, the album lives up to its name.

Q MagazineNov 20, 2018The first section--an intoxicating invocation of sea voyages and Bacchanalian rites--is richly instrumental, the second an otherworldly swirl of chants and ecstatic song that couldn't have been made by anyone but them. [Jan 2019, p.106]

Nov 19, 2018For existing fans of the group, it should come as a rewarding and affirming release; for those of us new to the group, it should act as a little reminder that there are plenty of ways to tell a story through music.

Nov 8, 2018Each movement offers a unique interpretation of pagan fervor, making for something akin to a modern soundtrack to ancient rites.
