BLOOD OF SORROW / SKOG AV STILLHET

^ "Skog av stillhet"


BAND NAME: Blood of Sorrow / Skog av stillhet
GENRE: Raw / Depressive Black Metal / DSBM*
STATUS: Unknown
LOCATION: Mexico

Formed as "Blood of Sorrow". Later changed name to "Skog av stillhet". Once the information here is organized a bit better, I may separate these into two pages. In the meantime, everything will be gathered here.

While the project is grounded in Christian faith, as opposed to Satanism/Atheism/etc, the artist did not intend for this to be "religious" or "preachy". The music and lyrics are based on his personal emotions and struggles in life, hoping to give encouragement and hope to other depressed people. This is mentioned various times on the project's pages, and it seems this was very important to the artist.

I'm not sure when the project began, but the Myspace page was created on 8/4/2008. (Since Myspace is American, I assume this means August 4th.)

If memory serves me correctly, there was a time when this project was dealing with secular themes, but it later returned to Christian themes. However, I can't verify this.

*I only have two ReverbNation samples to base this genre on. I'd ideally like to have more audio at some point.

INFO: Way too much to write a list for. If you have anything, let me know!
IMAGES: Every image here could use a better version.

Uncertain info:
This is a photo of the actual booklet. Notice the band logos are darker. Can anybody just confirm if this is how the split actually looks? And if so, can someone get a higher-quality version of this artwork with the darker band logos? Thanks!


Miscellaneous stuff: A picture from ReverbNation. No title is given, so I assume it's not cover artwork for any release.
