shaheen7 Such a bitter, poignant music...oozing grief that tears my heart, especially the world went shit. There's something spiritual about this album. This album takes you to a liminal space of light and dark, of calmness and rage, of lucidity and delirium.
It shakes my heart from the bottom, throwing it upside down,
then a little sweet tune appears like a faint ray of light, bringing solace, then gone again. The emotional weight this album carries is incredible. Great work. Pls stay safe.
Favorite track: A Wizard Grieving over the Loss of Magic.

AlexP deep, densely and massive... as incredible and powerful as the Ukrainian resistance.

Caroline Blaauw Mesmerizing, heavy, and being put in light of the current horrible times, it adds the haunting feeling of no escape.
Thank you, tobias_rieper, for putting the link to Ukraine Special Support Operation on your page Favorite track: Guilt, Disgust, Disaster.

doodlehound One of the finest records of 2022. Through tribulation and terror there is this sonic triumph.

Truly a powerful and heartbreaking listen. Favorite track: In Your Eyes I’m a Cripple.

The album title refers to spiritual struggles through the bloodiest of times. The five tracks, in a sense, are yearnings, or prayers, thrown into the void.

What doesn't kill you... Does it make you stronger? Or leave you even more crippled?
When all magic is gone... Is wisdom worth a thing?

It's about raising questions rather than giving answers.

As the rational mind & willpower fail, a spiritual quest begins.

PRESS

"Currently the vile overture of war dominates the interpretation of this work, but in any context Blood & Spirit is a tumultuous display of defiance in the face of despair [8/10]" bit.ly/3R3viUu

— Veil of Sound

"Thunderous display of instrumental prowess [8/10]" bit.ly/3RbY5GH

"There is not an ounce of fat to be trimmed here and it could be the inspiration that someone needs to create an art house film to match it’s shimmering brilliance [8/10]" bit.ly/3AUvpwF
