Helvetet På Jorden Skona Ingen Fast Gud Älskar Dig
* Edition of 500 copies, comes with a lyric booklet. Mastered by Joakim Karlsson. * With the intention of doing a proper and full out choir record, Helvetet På Jorden was initiated by Blod two years ago.

Deeply influenced by Swedish church music and psalms, Helvetet På Jorden consists of 10 of the …

Additional players on t…
