New review for “Blood” from Industrial.org:
I received “We waited for a subtle dawn” from Life Toward Twilight a few years back, and I liked it a lot. It was diverse dark ambient, and overall pretty solid. So I wasn’t really surprised when I popped in “Blood” and found that it was another slab of quality reverb soaked nefariousness.
The material on “Blood” is different in a few ways, mainly in that it has an overall stronger sense of cohesion and tightness, and it stays more in one stylistic direction, while still maintaining a lot of different aural inputs. It’s also different in that it’s only 17 minutes long, which may add to it’s feeling of cohesion a bit. There are a lot of creepy moans and howls here, and a lot of good found sound type elements of the darker variety, what with creaking and slamming doors and demonic poundings. Lots of very effective winds and muttered screams as well.
Overall this album sounds like a 16th century english village being slaughtered by a storm of very fucked up demons, which in my book is really, really cool. If you dig dark ambient you have no reason not to get yourself some “Blood”.
Emphasis added by me, because you know, that’s a pretty great description in my opinion.
Remember, “Blood” can be downloaded for free at Bottle Imp Productions. Higher quality can be had via iTunes or Amazon MP3

Review for “Blood” by Grave Concerns:
“The latest release from dark ambient artist Daniel Tuttle is a brief EP devoted to horror film atmosphere. Extremely subtle in its composition, this is less like a soundtrack than the work of a Foley artist; it’s not music for a horror movie, per se, but closer to the sounds you hear in the background where there isn’t any music. While Tuttle explores multiple themes on this album, ranging from Japanese ghost stories on “Yurei” to shambling corpses on “Zombie Infestation,” this EP feels less like a distinct collection of tracks than a single piece exploring fear from different perspectives and through multiple movements. While different sampled layers help to create different landscapes, with “R’lyeh” using soft splashes to evoke the sound of H.P. Lovecraft’s undersea metropolis and “Orlok” using distant screams and labored breathing to conjure the Dracula analogue from the original silent film Nosferatu, Tuttle’s commitment to subtlety and his use of lots of open space pulls everything together. While this is almost too quiet for fans of the more obvious, in-your-face scares that make people scream in movie theaters, Tuttle has created something gorgeously chilling this time around, and people who enjoy visiting the dark spaces built by such artists as Lustmord and Coil will find this a worthy addition to their collections.“
