Blood & Sun + Society of the Silver Cross + Linnea Hjertén

Blood and Sun (New York) and Society of the Silver Cross (Seattle) bring their music to Europe this fall, with Swedish artist Linnea Hjertén opening every date.

They’re touring behind Aion’s Light, the new Blood and Sun record, and Unraveled, new music from the collaboration between Blood and Sun and Society of the Silver Cross. Unraveled is the second volume of Temple Hymns, Society of the Silver Cross’s ongoing series of collaborations at their gothic Seattle studio, Temple of the Trees. Joe produced King Dude’s 2018 record Music to Make War To, and Luke and T.J. Cowgill share a long history of their own. When their mutual friend Egan of Headstone Brigade brought Luke and Society of the Silver Cross together over dinner, it felt less like an introduction and more like a reunion. All three acts on this tour share sobriety and a commitment to living with intention. The idea to make music together came naturally out of that night. Luke flew home to New York, and the idea sat until months later, when he came back to Seattle for a week to write and record. They got in the room and built from nothing, with no plan beyond making something together. They both knew each other’s work and came in genuinely excited to collaborate, nerves and all. Almost all of it was tracked in Seattle, with a few overdubs finished later at Luke’s New York room, Dusk Century.

Blood and Sun – The dark folk of Luke Tromiczak, played by a rotating group of musicians from around the country. Luke is a serious singer, a baritone with a low end you feel in the floor. The band formed in 2011 and has built an international following on brooding, gothic songwriting. It isn’t political and carries no hateful rhetoric. The tour brings their third album, Aion’s Light, recorded entirely on the same Tascam 414 cassette four-track the band used for its first demo. Songs were written and tracked in order, effects printed to tape, each choice locked as it was made. It lands somewhere between 70s folk, underground black metal, and old horror soundtracks. For this run Luke is joined by Erik Wivinus, Lilian Liu, and Sawyer Gebauer. (Nordvis Produktion)

Society of the Silver Cross are dark, slow, and cinematic, gothic and bombastic in equal measure, rooted as much in the devotional music of India as in American folk. The Seattle band, led by Karyn Gold-Reineke and Joe Reineke, sets chant-like vocals over 12-string guitar, harmonium, B3 organ, Shahi Baaja, rare synths, and tom-heavy drums. Joe’s production work spans Alice in Chains, Lady Gaga, Puscifer, and Pavement. Their 2024 album Festival of Invocations deals with life, death, and beauty. Rolling Stone, SPIN, UNCUT, Metal Injection, and Brooklyn Vegan have all covered them. Bizarro.fm called them “one of the most exceptional bands in the Gothic movement worldwide.”

Linnéa Hjertén, opening every date. A Swedish artist and producer who works in Nordic folk and ritual ambient, building tracks from traditional Swedish melody, wordless chant, and spare arrangements she writes, records, and mixes herself. For listeners of Dead Can Dance and Forndom. (Nordvis Produktion)
