Back for more art thou? Well, I cant say that I am not excited that people are indeed reading my blog! Haha! unfortunately the month of December didn't bring very much excitement or good news but I'll attempt herein to highlight the current events of Ethereal Blood since our last documentary tryst...
Firstly, over the course of the last month we had the opportunity to be interrogated by a very metal mademoiselle who goes by the name of Robex Lundgren. I was personally contacted by her and asked to do an online interview about the band. It became immediately apparent to me that her passion for music as well as journalism is something to be reckoned with. If you are curious about the murky details of Ethereal Blood's formation and history you can read the transcript of the aforementioned interview at the following link;

As anybody who follows our various social media accounts may very well be aware by now, we have parted ways with our lead guitarist Thanatos. Before I elaborate what I can on the details of his resignation, let me firstly say that his farewell is not marred by any lingering feelings of animosity from those involved. That is not to say that his separation from us is not spiced with something akin to grief. He confessed to us that personal problems in his home life were making it too much of a difficulty for him to continue to pursue any musical interests with the necessary vigor and that he fully expects his life to take him down a new path bereft of his once grandiose artistic dreams and aspirations.
Consequentially, this temporary void in our line up will be a hindrance on our ability to put on live performances in the immediate future but despair not my loves for we shall never languish nor abandon our cacophonous quest! Drink from the chalice of Ethereal Blood and taste of immortality! With the holiday festivities and the familial obligations they bring finally behind us we can now devote ourselves in earnest to the hunt for new musicians, writing, recording, and rehearsing. Below are links to our perennial Craigslist.org and Bandmix.com classified advertisements in search of musicians. Please oblige us and spread these around like a venereal disease!

To end on a more positive subject, our debut effort Cold Crypt Sonatas Vol. I is now widely available on most major digital media outlets and streaming websites including iTunes, Google Play, Amazon Music, and Spotify. As usual you can stream the original songs from the album free of charge right here on our website's tab "Nachtmusik and Dark Arts" or from our Facebook's music player, Soundcloud, YouTube, or BandPage profiles. Currently the only place on the internet where you can stream the album's two bonus tracks free is Spotify. Conversely, since the two bonus tracks are covers we can not make them available on bandcamp.com. It is against their policy. Allow me a moment to bombard you with propaganda...

Let me leave you with a snippet of lyrical lasciviousness from our new song that is being recorded; "March On, Wallachian Night Breed" which will be featured on our second installment of music.
Kali's children storm!
For this moment wert thou born.
Now ends the dark sojourn,
For immortality.
The darkest roads are herein paved.
Thy feeble Gods shall be enslaved.
All sacred virgins soon depraved,
When at last we've risen from our graves...
P.S. we may be inclined to make this track immediately available if this post receives the appropriate engagement. ;)
Bloody kisses and serpentine embraces,
Lord Vardoulacha
