I has surprised, perplexed and then stoked!

First things first, The Legend of the Black Shawarma is a very different album from the last (Vicious Delicious). While I’m sure some will agree and others not, I truly feel that this latest album was a full-on leap into the immersion of rock and psy-trance. Honestly these days I wouldn’t even consider Infected Mushroom a true psychedelic trance group. One of my buddies even commented that the change in sound may limit the number of psy-trance parties that they are usually invited to.
If you listen to the new album it is highly infused with electric guitar. In the previous few albums there was a slight electric guitar, but never to the degree that it is now.
Will this change lose them fans????

However one festival that I would give my left toes to attend is undoubtedly the upcoming Mandala Project psychedelic trance party, which will be hosted by none other than Groovy Troopers and Timecode.
This is gonna be HUGE!
