Blessings / Tom B

Svenske Blessings relentlessly brings along whatever they desire from hardcore, punk, crust, noise rock, heavy post-, and indie rock. They offer moments reminiscent of At The Drive-In and others that might evoke Converge, sometimes even within the same song. The Gothenburg quartet blends their inspirations into a highly varied collection of elements from heavier guitar music to a cohesive, exciting, and idiosyncratic sound. On their latest album «Blodsträngen», Blessings has fine-tuned their dissonant soundscape while casting a wide net for constantly new twists and experimental influences; a heterogeneous collection of peculiarities that the band somehow manages to pull together into something coherent, captivating, and empowering. The message behind the music is open to interpretation to encourage audience participation because, after all, it is the community that grows when dizzying high music is performed in a space that is important. / “This is the story of Tom.
