Blessings (SE) + Tom B. Fredag 08. januar 20:00 // 250 (+avg) // 20år

Swedish band Blessings mercilessly take whatever they want from hardcore, punk, crust, noise rock, heavy post- and indie rock. They offer moments reminiscent of At The Drive-In, and others that might bring Converge to mind—sometimes even in the same song. The Gothenburg quartet fuse their influences into a varied collection of elements from heavier guitar music, creating a cohesive, exciting and idiosyncratic sound. On their latest album, «Blodsträngen», Blessings have fine-tuned their dissonant sound while casting a wide net for new twists and experimental influences: a disparate collection of eccentricities that the band somehow manages to draw together into something cohesive, captivating and empowering. The message behind the music is open to interpretation, inviting audience participation. Ultimately, what matters is the community that grows when dizzyingly loud music is performed in a room.

«Dette er historien om Tom. Tom er død.» Tom B. is a Norwegian art project developed through visual and musical elements, with the aim of recreating and telling Tom’s story. On 08.01.2027, «Apparition #1» will see part of the soundtrack to a life story performed and experienced live on stage for the first time. The first single, «Bag Of Bones», will be released digitally via Elevator Records on 23.10.2026.
