⋘"Inner Psy-Trip" is one of nine tracks which make up ENSHADOWED's newest full length recording, their third overall long-player but also the first they've put out in a decade (2003's "Intensity" being the one directly prior this). Officially released on January 28, 2013 in CD & digital format through PULVERISED RECORDS, "Magic Chaos Psychedelia" is aeons ahead of the group's entire back catalogue, as impressive as it may be - and it is, but all the time spent in between 2003 and 2013 has rewarded the band with a newfound sense of inspiration and intensity, creativity and extremeness. According to the Pulverised Bandcamp page for the album (link available below):

"Finally after delving nine years into perfecting possibly the darkest essence of Black Metal treachery, Greek blackened dissenters ENSHADOWED engulfs and abolishes everything that is holy and orthodox with "Magic Chaos Psychedelia"!

Ceremoniously apocalyptic encompassing its aura, "Magic Chaos Psychedelia" is an abyss of religious anti-establishment with total hateful and nihilistic intent.

Meticulously recorded, mixed and mastered at Devasoundz Studio by Septicflesh skinsman Fotis Bernado and ENSHADOWED, together with the album cover artwork weaved by Greek artist Rea Pediaditaki, including additional hand-made paintings by Miguel Angel Castro Salinas. The amalgamation of Magic and Chaos are now together as One, even more foreboding than ever imagined."
