Κυκεώνας, the second album from Greek heavy rock trio Khirki, is named for a psychoactive beverage consumed in ancient times by acolytes pursuing divine mysteries: a yummy, yummy slurry of water, barley, pennyroyal, assorted seasonings (honey, herbs, wine, cheese), and (according to one popular hypothesis) ergot, a hallucinogenic fungus. The Athenian band’s version calls for a similarly eccentric, trippy recipe, but the experience here is far more palatable, especially for the metalheads. Soldering ascendant prog-metal to smoldering, stoner doom, Sepultura’s earthy groove-metal percussion to traditional Greek instrumentation (violin, klarino) these songs emanate majesty and mystique at every turn, with distinct Hellenic undertones. You’ve got references to Homer and Hecate, the seven-minute “Συμπληγάδες,” sung in Greek and rhythmically indebted to Greek folk; and my personal favorite, “Father Wind,” a Mediterranean folk-metal song that would make even the most austere Yiayia bang her head. I’m still not sold on mushroom-laced jungle juice as a beverage, but as a sound? Hell yeah!!
