Rewind back to 2002, Astrix is signed to leading label HOMmega and is introduced to the world with his debut album "Eye To Eye". Things started to roll for Avi Shamilov from that point on, the world wide scene fell captivated with his unique, smart melodic style. Touring massively after the "Eye To Eye" album release didn't leave much studio time for Avi, it took two years to write & perfect his 2nd album, "Artcore" which came out in 2004. "Artcore" raised the bar with groundbreaking achievements if in CD sales, tracks used in movies, video games and TV commercials.
Once Astrix's musical sound got familiarized as his trademark, he turned to invest the years after to developing his DJ persona. Compiling & producing for leading brands such as: "Nu-clear Visions of Israel" (Tip/2003), "Psychedelic Academy" (Hit Mania/2005) and "Astrix & Friends" (DJ mag/2007). In 2009 Astrix's label, HOMmega productions, was the first to release an Astrix digital artist album, on a compact stick flash drive format, "One Step Ahead" (HOMmega/2009)
Evolving into one the world known DJ MAG TOP 100 DJs placed Astrix on the roads for an almost nonstop world wide tour. He rocked festivals across the globe including Dance Valley, SW4, Creamfileds, Love Parade, UAF, Skol Beats, Planeta Atlantida and headlined nights in the best clubs and venues such as Alexandra Palace, Brixton Academy, Pacha, Ministry of sounds, The City, Volume, Nox and so many more which he visited repeatedly .
Over the last couple of years, studio time was a rare commodity for Avi Shamilov, but never the less he always managed to find the extra hours to work on his 3rd studio album for HOMmega. ‘Red Means Distortion’ is the result of some very late night sessions, everything to reach the perfection he needs to return back to those who were waiting patiently for his 3rd studio album.

Astrix Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Horus from Hierakonpolis, the God of Heavens,
has seven days to see the Earth of mankind once more.
The Earth he helped create.
Seven days; the time for one beat of the divine heart.
Not a second more before being deprived of his immortality;
The lyrics to Astrix's song Acid Rocker depict the story of Horus, the God of Heavens, who has been condemned to death by his peers for rebellion. The song highlights his desire to see the Earth of mankind once more, the same Earth that he helped create. The lyrics specify that he has only seven days to do so, which is one beat of the divine heart, before he is stripped of his immortality. This portrayal of Horus's final seven days on Earth is a testament to the pain and anguish of awaiting death, even if you are a god.
The song captures Horus's fear of death - an aspect that may surprise listeners unfamiliar with traditional Egyptian beliefs. He was not alone in his fear, though, as even the gods feared death. The song's choice of words and phrasing convey this emotional turmoil effectively. Astrix's portrayal of Horus's final moments is both insightful and moving, as it provides a glimpse into the human-like qualities of the deities of ancient Egypt.

Seven days; the time for one beat of the divine heart.
The duration of these seven days is equivalent to the rhythmic pulse of the immortal gods
Not a second more before being deprived of his immortality;
He must return by the end of the seven days, or he will lose his godlike status forever
but even the Gods fear death.
Even divine beings are not free from the anxiety and dread of dying

One of the greatest psytrance tracks ever
Deceiving Sounds
Astrix is a genius, each song gives me chills.

In my opinion, Astrix found a perfect balance between psytrance and trance in this track.
The breaks between the drops remind me of trance, but the drops are still psychedelic, so it is like a lighter version of psytrance, not like Deep Jungle Walk.
Not many artists could nail it like this.
