Bloodshot specialises in a metal influenced style of hardcore and saw the light in 1999. From day one they started composing their own songs, resulting in a DEMO CD (Carnal assault upon a godless world), focussing on the acts of serial killer Andrei Chikatilo and which was getting very positive reactions and allowed the band to play lots of shows!
From there on, ambitions were growing and a first full CD (A pestilence called humanity, dealing with the horrors of mass murderer David Berkowitz) was released in 2002 on Cartel records from Finland (www.cartelenterprises.com)! Again reactions were outstanding and concerts even increased in number! This time also playing on some bigger festivals (Dourfestival, Streetlive festival, Maximum hardcore festival, Akkerpop,…), allowing us to share the stage with wellknown hardcore and metal acts such as: Six Feet Under, Born From Pain, Angelcrew, Backfire, Gojira, Stamping Ground, Maximum Penalty, Fleshcrawl, Irate, Arkangel, Buzzcocks, Length Of Time, Deviate, Kickback, Settle The Score, Heaven Shall Burn, Caliban,…!
After 2 years of intensive live playing, hundreds of shows, Bloodshot decides to take a little break and starts composing songs for their second full CD which is recorded March 2005 at the CCR studio’s and which is intensively mixed in july and mastered by Alan Douches from West west side music (Hatebreed, God Forbid, Unearth, Sick of it all, Sepultura, Sworn Enemy,…). The CD contains 9 brand new, furious tracks: more agressive and powerful than before! Lyrics remaining influenced by yet another serial killer! This time: Jeffrey Dahmer. Entitled: Ultimate Hatred! The album is released by the Italian label: Scarlet records and is again received very well, increasing their live shows, allowing them to share the stage with bands as: Sworn Enemy, 100 Demons, Death Threat, Wisdom in Chains, Six ft Ditch, Clobberin Time, Bulldoze, 108, Knuckledust, Blacklisted, King Of Clubz, CDC, Cataract, 25 ta life and deadsoil… and this time resulting in a three weeks European tour together with Agents of Man (USA).
The band decides to work with ‘Trigger agency’, a well known booking agency which handles from now on their shows in the Benelux. The band also works with Belgian booking agency ‘Brimstone Tourbooking’ allowing them to play even more shows.
Anno 2007 the band is working hard on a new full CD which will be released again by Scarlet records and which will be entitled: ‘Murder the world’, again dealing with the acts of a serial killer; this time: Richard Ramirez! And a split CD will follow together with the Polish hardcore masters: ‘No Heaven Awaits Us’ on Shing records.
The band is ready to take their ambitions to the next level, playing and touring as much as possible, promoting the new CD’s in the most professional way, spreading the BLOODSHOT madness on crowds allover the world!!
