BLOODGUARD ARE - Forward thinking melodic death metal with a blackened edge
Forward thinking melodic death metal with a furious, blackened edge.
Bloodguard has existed, in varying forms since 2003, as a melodic death/black/thrash hybrid, with progressive tendencies, a mix of clean and harsh vocal styles and a rejection of standard pop song-structures.
Gigs around the UK, opening for major players such as Hypocrisy, Swallow The Sun, Insomnium, have allowed them to refine their sound and artistic direction.
In 2011 their debut album will be released, having been written, funded and recorded/produced entirely by the band themselves. With a lyrical content covering theoretical spiritual and theological matters, along with the darkest of modern philosophies, it promises to be more than a simple collection of songs, but a piece of art in itself.
