“Olsson er tilbøjelig til at terrorisere sin guitar på et nanosekunds varsel”, har All About Jazz meget rammende skrevet om guitaristen Henrik Olsson, der leder gruppen Hand of Benediction. Deres musik eksisterer på et kontinuum mellem fri improvisation og eksperimenterende jazz, og bygger op omkring hypnotiske melodier, psykedeliske soniske udflugter såvel som ekstatisk improvisation. Gruppens seneste album blev i 2023 nomineret til en Danish Music Awards for “Årets Eksperimenterende Udgivelse”og det anerkendte franske magasin Citizen Jazz beskrev musikken som"metal, elevator music, noise on every floor, the music is a lovely and enthusiastic mishmash." Deres debutalbum modtog en Honorable Mention i New York City Jazz Record i 2019 og blev af Vital Weekly kaldt "a lovely madness and a very remarkable statement".
Gruppen består udover Henrik Olsson af nogle stærke navne på den internationale scene:
Egil Kalman spiller modulær synthesizer. Han er i øjeblikket baseret i Norge og spiller i bands som Marthe Lea Band og Miman.
Jeppe Skovbakke er en bassist, der har turneret og indspillet med flere generationer af danske jazzmusikere og en række internationale solister lige fra John Tchicai til Rhys Chatham.
Rune Lohse er en kraftfuld trommestemme på den skandinaviske scene og har spillet over hele kontinentet med bands som Horse Orchestra, Michael Rexen og Klimaforandringer....

“Olsson is apt to terrorize his guitar on a nanosecond’s notice”, has All About Jazz fittingly written about guitarist Henrik Olsson, who leads the group Hand of Benediction. Their music exists on a continuum between free improvisation and experimental jazz, and is built around hypnotic melodies, psychedelic sonic excursions as well as ecstatic improvisation. The group’s latest album was nominated for a Danish Music Awards in 2023 for “Experimental Release of the Year” and the renowned French magazine Citizen Jazz described the music as “metal, elevator music, noise on every floor, the music is a lovely and enthusiastic mishmash.” Their debut album received an Honorable Mention in the New York City Jazz Record in 2019 and was called “a lovely madness and a very remarkable statement” by Vital Weekly.
