... And if my pit will turn out as my grave, in life I will be free and not a slave...." Jonathan Hultén: "The affinity for dark themes is probably what drew me to rock and metal in the first place. The fascination for the obscure, the mysterious and frightful aspects of life has always been there. When something scares you, you can be sure there is something interesting hiding at its core, something that most likely will enrich your world and perspective if you can accept or befriend it, or at least understand it. In the confrontations in this realm of your mind ugly can turn into beautiful, sorrow into joy and foe into friend. In the end, it's curiosity and thirst for knowledge and transformation that drives me towards these subjects, and it's an adventure to pursue them. And artistically it's so much more interesting, the aesthetic and romantic side of the dark and decadent is not to be forgotten! Thematically and lyrically the EP is built as a reference to the alchemical process with extra emphasis on the first stage of blackness, hence the name "The Dark Night of the Soul". The first song nguished Are the Young' is really a condensation of that disorientation and despair (and I wrote it as a 17-year old, the most confusing times of all), while the last song ightly Sun' represents the first step toward renewal and rebirth." With his solo work it's guitar and harmonies that are the tools andwhile the keywords might be minimalistic and naked at the same time themusic can be bombastic and dramatic. Inspired by folk and medieval choir-music mixed with influences like Nick Drake and Led Zeppelin, Jonathan Hultén has set foot on a path of his own journey to wherever it may lead him musically Record Label: Reflections Style: Singer/Songwriter
