CD out of stock iTunes  A Warning From the Elders Byron Metcalf 2007 Dr. BAM's Music (CD) In this latest solo project, Byron expands his sonic explorations of the shamanic path of soul-based and heart-centered living that is the foundation of his work. This work is centered around organic trance rhythms and interlocking hybrid grooves which drive the experience forward and deeper into the shamanic realms. A WARNING FROM THE ELDERS is the first project where Byron has used his overtone singing to create harmonic drones and soundscapes. With this potent emphasis on the raw, organic sounds of wood, skin, metal, clay, stone, and the human voice, Byron makes a big step forward in his production skills and the result is a delicious blend of fierce percussion, heart-opening textural voices and overtone singing; a powerful meditation of purpose, presence and compassion.   1.  Facing The Truth MP3   2.  A Warning From the Elders     3.  Heart Warriors MP3   4.  Fire Passage MP3   5.  Earth Om – Sacred Resonance MP3

CD  $15.00  ON SALE, $14.00  iTunes  Bandcamp  Dream Tracker Steve Roach, Byron Metcalf, Dashmesh Khalsa 2010 Dr. BAM's Music DBM006 (CD) Reviewed by New Age Retailer The essential ingredients of ancient and contemporary shamanic trance states are fully activated in this highly potent new release. Byron carved out a collection of incredible trance grooves for nearly a year, eventually bringing in the prana-infused didgeridoo of Dashmesh Khalsa on every track. Steve joined on in early January 2010 and poured his heart and soul-drenched soundworlds into the six pieces, covering a full range of ecstatic dreamtime flow: rhythm, breath and expansion. The end result is a full-blown dreamtime alchemy of all the elements. The living, breathing percussion, didgeridoo and soundworlds are unified in a single purpose: to open to the door out of the ordinary world, initiating the listener into an empowered journey of infinite possibilities for spiritual rebirth, illumination, and transcendence.   1.  Dream Tracker MP3 20:18   2.  Dreamtime Alchemy MP3 10:04   3.  From the Inside MP3 9:18   4.  Thunder Walk MP3 11:47   5.  Roo Runner MP3 9:55   6.  Realms of the Sacred Seed MP3 12:02

CD out of stock iTunes  Not Without Risk Byron Metcalf (with Steve Roach) 2001 Dr. BAM's Music DBMCD 002 (CD) Byron Metcalf's new solo CD, featuring Steve Roach on several tracks, is available for a limited time. Cut from a similar fabric as disc one of THE SERPENT'S LAIR. This intense tribal percussion-heavy journey is not for the faint at heart, and while the word "shamanic music" gets used freely now, this is to be considered the real deal. It's a more stripped down sound from THE SERPENT'S LAIR, with various drums and percussion, didgeridoo and soundscapes combined for a powerful result.   1.  Not Without Risk   7:58   2.  Fields of Intention MP3 8:06   3.  Primordial Recognition MP3 9:04   4.  Medicine Story MP3 9:54   5.  Spirit Gathering MP3 9:52   6.  Dark Brew MP3 7:38   7.  Clan Travelers MP3 10:48   8.  Light From A Burning Bridge MP3 10:30

CD  $15.00  ON SALE, $5.00  iTunes  The Shaman's Heart Byron Metcalf (with Steve Roach) 2005 Dr. BAM's Music DBM003 (CD) – 2010 Digipak re-release Reviewed by Frank MacEowen, Hypnos Forum, Wind and Wire This is a powerful and unique rhythmic and soundworld trance experience based on the traditional structures of shamanic drumming used for altering states of awareness. The entire journey is built using a collection of buffalo drums, frame drums and rattles. Presented as a continuous, unfolding rhythmic state, starting with lone peyote rattles and evolving into mandala-like polyrhythmic bliss. Through it all is a shapeshifting undercurrent of essential soundworlds specifically provided to create support for the intrepid inner traveler. This is unlike any of the solo or collaborations from Byron and Steve.
