More Info

"Seven years after the highly acclaimed Iron Dream CD (Eibon) and 14 years after the CD debut, A World of Hurt (Malignant/Katyn), Blood Box finally returns with a new album, Funeral In An Empty Room. As one part of revered dark ambient project Yen Pox, Michael JV Hensley is certainly no stranger to creating epic and immersive soundscapes, and with Funeral In An Empty Room, he has yet again meticulously crafted another highly detailed, intensely atmospheric work. Awash in slow, dreamlike waves of morphing textures, and blissfully unfurling cosmic drift, this is nothing less than an aural vision down the hypnotic path to the unknown; serene yet gloomy, with multiple layers of swelling tones, subdued melodies, and ominous, spacey effects. Comes with 12-page booklet." [label info]

"Behind Blood Box is Michael J.V. Hensley, member of Yen Pox (do they still exist, I wondered) and we take a trip out into the lands of true dark ambient music. No radio transmissions, cosmic doodling, field recordings and such like, but massive blocks of wailing synthesizers and lots of sound effects. Dark, haunting and haunted music with some great dynamics. It sometimes moves on top of the hills and then moves gently down towards the edge of a black hole, but it never falls in it: the music remains audible throughout. It moves up and down, like massive sea waves washing ashore, with great elegant majestic power. If you dig the releases on Malignant, then this dark journey will surely be something you like as well. Nothing new under the dark sky, but done with the absolute fine ear for a great production." [FdW/Vital Weekly]
