“Mahakali” is the primeval force of the universe, the Universal Mother, the Great Goddess, the Destroyer. “Mahakali” is JARBOE, a multi-instrumentalist and singer with a voice that shape-shifts with seeming ease between that of a shy girl, a mother, a seductress or a demon. During her nearly 25-year career, she broke down the barriers of both music and what women were allowed to do within it. In her work, the living JARBOE continues to strengthen the legend of her former and cult band SWANS. With “Mahakali”, she has created an epic, furious landscape of bitter release and sweet revenge. This is quite possibly the heaviest album of her entire career!
“To say she has the most amazing vocal range just doesn't encompass her ability to go from fragility and delicacy to raw screaming power. Half-siren, half-steamroller, a little like Linda Blair in "The Exorcist" in how she alternates from innocent little girl to roaring demon;0 to 666 in under two seconds.”  (Guardian Unlimited, UK). An epic album including performances by Philip Anselmo (DOWN, ex-PANTERA), Attila Csihar (MAYHEM), Josh Graham (NEUROSIS, RED SPARROWS), Vinnie Signorelli (UNSANE, ex-SWANS) and Kevin Hufnagel (DYSRHYTHMIA)
