On October 16th internationally, Nordvis is proud to present Blood and Sun's highly anticipated third album, Aion's Light, on CD and vinyl LP formats.
With Aion’s Light, Blood and Sun’s third full-length, Luke Tromiczak brings his vision of American neofolk back to its rawest foundations while pushing further into the borderlands between song, spell, and memory.
The album was recorded entirely on the same Tascam 414 four-track cassette portastudio used for Blood and Sun’s earliest demo. Songs were written and tracked in the order they appear, effects were committed to tape, and each bounced-down instrument narrowed the path ahead. Every decision carried weight; raw instinct became part of the final form.
Musically, Aion’s Light stands somewhere between '70s folk songcraft, underground black metal spirit, and the eerie atmospheres of B-movie horror soundtracks. Echoes of Scott Walker, Of the Wand and the Moon, Woven Hand, Swans, Dave Bixby, Exuma, Leonard Cohen, and Norway's Storm can be felt throughout. Guitar chords are hammered into place as a foundation for bass, keyboards, percussion, and voice; sparse arrangements gather weight through repetition, atmosphere, and the grain of the recording itself.
Luke commented: "Aion’s Light is a return to the roots of Blood and Sun, but also a test of limits - raw sound, direct songwriting, and the old four-track that started this path in the first place. The album traces a journey from the darkness of winter to the first flowers of spring, tracing the pagan currents that continue to course through my life. I am proud to once again partner with Nordvis in bringing this work into the world, and deeply grateful to everyone who has helped keep this fire burning."
