Batplanet Pres.: Blood and Sun // Society of the Silver Cross // Linnea Hjertén

Blood and Sun is dark folk written by Luke Tromiczak and performed by a rotating group of musicians from across the United States. Ritualistic, powerful, and profound—Blood and Sun weaves traditional folk sorrow with North American vastness, spiritual intensity, and a love of mytho-poetic realms. They channel a form of dark-folk that requires no façade, only voice, strings, the percussive heart, and the gravity of existence. Every song is a spell carried by a deep voice and raw presence. Their performances are like a bonfire: Warming, challenging, clarifying. Formed in 2011, the group has received international praise for its dark, brooding, gothic songwriting. Blood and Sun thema
