Shanir Ezra Blumenkranz steps out on his own to make one of the most primal and tribal installments in John Zorn's Masada series. Drawing on his Sephardic roots, Shanir plays gimbri throughout, giving the music a trance inducing primeval Moroccan edge. Featuring the intense guitar pyrotechnics of Eyal Maoz and Aram Bajakian - and the atavistic drumming of Kenny Grohowski, this is Ritualistic Jewish Rock for the 21st century by a brilliant young lion from the East Village via Brooklyn/Israel!
