Blood and Sun is dark folk written by Luke Tromiczak and performed by a rotating group of musicians from across the United States. Ritualistic, powerful, and profound—Blood and Sun weaves traditional folk sorrow with North American vastness, spiritual intensity, and a love of mytho-poetic realms. They channel a form of dark-folk that requires no façade, only voice, strings, the percussive heart, and the gravity of existence. Every song is a spell carried by a deep voice and raw presence. Their performances are like a bonfire: warming, challenging, clarifying. Formed in 2011, the group has received international praise for its dark, brooding, gothic songwriting. Blood and Sun thematically wrestles with personal tribulations and drive intertwined with metaphysical and pagan currents, delivering soaring and haunting melodies extolling the heroism and tragedy of life, its joyous excess and the vertigo of fate.

This tour welcomes “Aion’s Light”, Blood and Sun’s third full-length album, bringing Luke’s vision of American neofolk back to its rawest foundations while pushing further into the borderlands between song, spell, and memory.

Society of the Silver Cross are from Seattle, Washington. Their music is dark, slow, and cinematic, gothic and bombastic in equal measure. Rooted equally in the traditions of India and the darker edges of American folk. Their chant-like vocals move between melody and ritual, alongside 12-string acoustic guitar, harmonium, B3 organ, Shahi Baaja, rare synthesizers, and tom-centric drum patterns that anchor the whole thing in something primal.
