"Like a bolt of lightning literally out of the blue, HÖSTBLOD's Mörkrets Intåg arrives without warning but carries with it an electricity all its own. With no other recordings to the HÖSTBLOD, this mysterious entity puts forth a monument that artfully straddles extremes: despair and beauty, purity and unorthodoxy, tradition and unconvention. Across six expansive songs in a breathtaking 43 minutes, Mörkrets Intåg transports the listener down a winding 'n' wintry road that spans searing black metal, tranquil neofolk, and depressive rock alike. At once rubbed raw and sparkling with clarity, HÖSTBLOD's visions are kaleidoscopic to behold, and seemingly shift gears in a most schizophrenic nature - or entrancingly flow with smoothness that's utterly silky. Truly, there is magick to behold here: Mörkrets Intåg announces the arrival of black metal's new mavericks."
