“Sweden has a lot of terrific musicians, many of whom play in various kinds of death and/or black metal bands.

They re-record the psalms and hymns and songs of the Process Church of The Final Judgment, an oddball 60’s/70’s cult worshipping both God and Satan.

Bad news: The Devil’s Blood just split up.
Good news: The long-awaited Magic Circle full-length is out.
