Label Description:
“Canyon of Blood tells a story of transformation, longing, and resistance, ushering the listener through a psychological landscape that’s as lush as it is violent… feels like the baroque bloom of a cactus flower amid spikes in the arid desert night.”
— Roan Parrish, author Strange Company, The Most Unusual Haunting of Edgar Lovejoy
