The cover of the album is a photo of a beautiful beaded skull mask that was made by the Huichol of the Sierra Madre Mountains in Mexico, which is a bit of a departure from previous albums, in that, most of their albums tend to be darker color schemes, though it is reminiscent in some ways to their debut album and the 1996 Spiritchaser album. While only two songs (or ‘acts’ in this case), it is split up into 7 movements that include an array of folk instrumentation all played by Brendan Perry, chanting, bird calls and even beehives, each presenting a different take on the Dionysus myth. Dead Can Dance return with a new two song album devoted entirely to Dionysus, the god of fertility and wine due out on November 2nd, 2018 through PIAS Recordings.
