"Complexity aside, sole musician Johan Nilsson's music distills to an aching longing, something from deep at the foot of the soul. The cry of violins, the soft finger-plucking of a nylon-string guitar, the actual howling of the human voice -- it all boils down to this distinct style which Nilsson built for himself on 2018's Mörkrets intåg, but with a stronger sense of metallic identity and even more drastic dynamic changes.

For such an easy, quick listen -- the 40 minutes fly by fairly quickly -- Höstblod's music offers so much substance, so much emotional depth and musical skill, that it warrants future spins. This is truly gorgeous music which is deserving of more attention." -Jon Rosenthal, Invisible Oranges
