Bloodshot

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!!

EMETH (BE) Metal / Grind-death / Death Metal / Grindcore
EMETH
The most notorious pack of degenerates from Belgium Emeth, which features in its ranks ex-Aborted guitarist Matty Dupont and Blood Red Throne bassist Erlend Caspersen, has set "Telesis" as the title of its highly anticipated third album, due early 2008 via Brutal Bands. The band recently finished recording their new album at Hertz Studios with the Wieslawscy brother's as producers and is currently mixing eleven tracks for this new effort. <br><br> Emeth is know as a band which has its roots in death metal, but at the same time, as one that has never been afraid to experiment. This third opus shows the band progressing into a heavier, tighter and more technically advanced direction with memorable and inventive song structures and a natural yet modern production.
When Blood Burns
< « When blood burns » was born in September 2006 from the fusion of two young bands from Brussels « Mushpeet (hardcore)» and « Vidism (melodic metal core)». <br><br> In the beginning, there was Nico singing, Brian and Ben playing guitar, Fabian playing bass and John at the drums. The band soon begins composing a couple of songs, giving itself a musical identity and a particular universe. <br><br> The guys are influenced by the numerous bands they like, mostly involved in the new American scene (« New wave of American heavy metal ») but also in hardcore, thrash, and death metal. <br><br> Therefore, you can hear melodic parts, mixed with « beat down » ‘s, and screams / growls definitely efficient. <br><br> After two months of hard rehearsing, « When blood burns » ‘s line-up encounters some changes in November 2006, as Nico decides to quit for personal reasons. <br><br> Then Fabian takes the mic. But that change is followed by a stand-by period, because of the intensive search for a bassist and a second singer. December 2006 is a new start for the band, with the arrival of Gaëtan (ex-Vidism ) as second singer and Arnaud (ex-singer of Dark sensation and guitarist in Bloody hands) at the bass. <br><br>
JesusBride
JesusBride se forme fin 2005 avec la vive intention de proposer un metal-hardcore où les mélodies et le thème de l'humain auraient une place prépondérante. Le groupe trouve rapidement ses marques en développant un propre style riche en riffs et en rythmiques inspirés du metal, du hardcore, de l'heavy et du death des années nonantes. Les vocals se démarquent par l'alternance d'une voix agressive et d'un chant clair, posé et travaillé. <br><br> Le groupe évolue rapidement et propose un premier set au printemps 2006. Première expérience satisfaisante qui motive la formation à s'investir dans un metalcore moderne, technique et réfléchi. <br><br> Conscient des modes et tendances qui se développent, le groupe choisit néanmoins de ne pas suivre ces dernières et de tendre vers une image qui lui sera propre et honnête; l'idée d'un hardcore solidaire et intègre reste au centre des compositions et des textes. <br><br> Portant dans son nom l'une des figures les plus emblématiques de ces deux derniers millénaires, le groupe cherche à bousculer les idées préconçues et les jugements hâtifs. Le caractère brutal permet à leur musique de devenir non seulement un vecteur d'émotions mais aussi d'opinions et pourquoi pas de révolte. <br><br>
