This 2025 edition, meticulously remastered to K14-level standards by Andersson himself, features not only the core studio album (Disc I, recorded winter 2005-2006), but also two full discs of evocative live performances from across Europe, including Gent, Sofia, Salzburg, Alkmaar, Budapest, and a stunning set recorded in the Sophienkirche of Wuppertal during the Phobos II Dark Ambient Festival (2010) - a performance that plays like a liturgy for forgotten gods.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe sound is monumental yet subtle: subterranean drones coil beneath spectral chants, decaying harmonics ripple through ancient cathedrals of reverb, and slow-shifting textures create a space where the listener floats between the sacred and the surreal. There are echoes here of Lustmord's somber gravity, Thomas Köner's icy isolationism, and the ritualistic depth of Inade or Desiderii Marginis, but it's RAISON D'ÊTRE's singular spiritual voice that rises from the abyss.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe artwork by Kati Astraeir perfectly captures the album's meditative darkness - fluid forms, organic decay, and transcendent abstraction - while the layout, also designed by Andersson, reinforces the ritualistic purity of the listening experience.\u003c\/p\u003e    \u003ch2\u003eTrack Listing\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDisc 1:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cul\u003e        \u003cli\u003eMetamorphyses Phase I\u003c\/li\u003e                  \u003cli\u003e Metamorphyses Phase II\u003c\/li\u003e                  \u003cli\u003eMetamorphyses Phase III\u003c\/li\u003e                  \u003cli\u003eMetamorphyses Phase IV\u003c\/li\u003e                  \u003cli\u003e Metamorphyses Phase V\u003c\/li\u003e                  \u003cli\u003eMetamorphyses Phase VI\u003c\/li\u003e                  \u003cli\u003eMetamorphyses Phase I (Sketch)\u003c\/li\u003e                  \u003cli\u003eMetamorphyses Phase IV (Sketch)\u003c\/li\u003e          \u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDisc 2:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cul\u003e        \u003cli\u003eMetamorphyses Phase I (Gent)\u003c\/li\u003e                  \u003cli\u003eMetamorphyses Phase IV (Gent)\u003c\/li\u003e                  \u003cli\u003eTheTransformal Landscape (Gent)\u003c\/li\u003e                  \u003cli\u003eMetamorphyses Phase III (Budapest)\u003c\/li\u003e                  \u003cli\u003ePathfinder (Budapest)\u003c\/li\u003e                  \u003cli\u003eMetamorphyses PhaseI (Sophia)\u003c\/li\u003e                  \u003cli\u003eThe Invisible Gate Of The Temple (Salzburg)\u003c\/li\u003e                  \u003cli\u003eMetal Stone Mental Heart (Salzburg)\u003c\/li\u003e                  \u003cli\u003eMetamorphyses Phase III (Alkmaar)\u003c\/li\u003e                  \u003cli\u003e Metamorphyses Phase IV (Alkmaar)\u003c\/li\u003e          \u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDisc 3:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cul\u003e        \u003cli\u003e Reflecting In Shadows\u003c\/li\u003e                  \u003cli\u003eAgnus Dei\u003c\/li\u003e                  \u003cli\u003eDesecrated By The Blood\u003c\/li\u003e                  \u003cli\u003eThe Spirit Will Not Share The Guilt\u003c\/li\u003e                  \u003cli\u003eMy Soul Is Darkened\u003c\/li\u003e                  \u003cli\u003e Spira Mirabilis\u003c\/li\u003e                  \u003cli\u003eWithout Shedding There Is No Forgiveness\u003c\/li\u003e                  \u003cli\u003ePassing Inner Shields\u003c\/li\u003e          \u003c\/ul\u003e  \u003ch2\u003eAdditional Details\u003c\/h2\u003e  \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLabel:\u003c\/strong\u003e The circle music\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGenre:\u003c\/strong\u003e Ambient\/Experimental\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/strong\u003e English  \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRun Time:\u003c\/strong\u003e 60:30 mins\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRegion:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0       \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRelease Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e 06\/05\/26\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUPC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 617669421352\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"CIRCLEMUS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47751457964281,"sku":"RSE015CD","price":33.3,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0815\/4889\/files\/RSE015CD.jpg?v=1775143282","url":"https:\/\/mvdshop.com\/products\/raison-detre-metamorphyses-limited-edition-triple-cd-in-triple-7-inch-vinyl-gatefold-cd","provider":"MVD Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
