Hazy and drugged sounding, The Iron Dream wraps you in a sensually dark embrace, unleashing mutating visions of horror and beauty so compelling it's only later you'll realize realized you passed into another realm." - Malignant Records

"A million miles away from earth, in the empty vaults of space, where collapsing stars cry and solar winds blow, BLOOD BOX captures the anxiety of a moaning universe. The chants of a dying supernova, the sound of a multi-dimensional worm-hole, where gravitational gradients capture light and turn it into a formless singularity.

Michael Hensley, formerly of legendary dark ambient duo Yen Pox, delivers one of the most haunting dark ambient releases - ever. Like The Body Lovers / Swans mixed with the soundtrack to David Lynch's Eraserhead, taking a deep, deep plunge into uncharted ambient waters. SO recommended." - Duplicate Records

"Blood Box is a project of Michael Hensley whose work in the terrorist ambient ensemble Yen Pox we have praised before. On his own, Hensley strikes a more menacing pose; where Yen Pox conjures a narcotic numbness laced with the imagery of fear, death, and horror, Blood Box places you directly in the midst of a tragic aural nightmare. Snarling beasts and whispering demons haunt the nether regions of bleak reverberating dronescapes, giving way to majestic swells of minor key orchestral fragments. Later on, claustrobophia from The Iron Dream's sonic catacombs open into expansive forests, ominously crackling and creaking in the wind. At the same time, subtle musical gestures punctuate the wash and din, offering a hint of optimism to this otherwise oppressive album. On the Iron Dream, Hensley brings together the shadowy ambience found on Burzum's Filosofem, the soul-crushing depression of Anenzephalia, the darkly shimmered elegance of Maeror Tri, and subterranean terror of Lustmord. Morose, creepy, and gorgeously frightening." - Aquarius Records
