about

The almighty cry of true metal returns as the full-length debut of Blissful Stream is at hand! After releasing raw and sought EPs since 2016, Martin's brand of stark rock; pioneer-style heavy metal at it's best infused with woe, grief, sadness and grandeur. The effects are intoxicating, and at the best of times the feel of being a high plains drifter or lone ranger are abundant. Tales of simplicity and truth told by a weary, ragged and frightful minstrel, with the reaper itself as a frequent acquaintance.

Now in this new decade fueled by the continuing flaming wreckage of our present, this is a needed album for the times we soul strip-search ourselves mentally; 'When The Wolves Start To Circle' is a partial or complete soundtrack for those meditations.

Released to all on Valentine's Day for the brokenhearted, lost in spirit, and dearly departed.
=================================================

"For those who struggle through the darkness of life’s realities and need the anchor such powerful metal provides, this album returns to the essence of early metal and rock, with all the catchy simplicity inherent. In contrast to Martin Sallstrom’s 2016 debut EP, ‘Ascending Demons’ and his previous black metal project, Pest, Blissful Stream swings to the opposite, more contemplative style."
- Rock Queen Reviews

~~~~~~~

"There’s a sorrowful energy here that’s undeniable, infecting every part of the music. Although largely mournful in tone and atmosphere, other feelings are explored too, including a snarling attitude in places. A variety of different paces and moods are touched upon in the songs, and the skill of the artist behind the band is such that it allows the music to explore upbeat sections that are still suffused with gloom, despite how vibrant they can sometimes appear, rooting the music in a firm doom grounding whatever it is doing at any given time. Ultimately, Blissful Stream’s material is all about emotion, no matter the speed or pace, and the songs on this album are carefully crafted to make the most of this bedrock of feeling.

Every time I hear a Blissful Stream release I proclaim it the artist’s best work yet, and the same is true of When the Wolves Start to Circle. Don’t miss out on this underground gem."
- Wonderbox Metal
