Many Blessings

“Those of you familiar with Ethan McCarthy will know him as the formidable frontman for Primitive Man. Under the banner of Many Blessings, Ethan performs a much less frenzied kind of music – and yet somehow it manages to be no less disturbing and spine-chilling. Having experimented with noise since 2004, Many Blessings has taken a back seat whilst Ethan focussed on metal. However, over the course of a full length, a split and a couple of singles, Many Blessings has seeped into our consciousness – a slow, creeping threat of sonic menace. Whilst the ferocity we are are perhaps more accustomed to is not present, the wordless missives are brooding and visceral.” (Becky Laverty / Roadburn)
