History Born under the tutelage of violence and force by Gamble in 1994, the
deathgrind of Bloodstorm is reminiscent of Goreaphobia and not the
interim bands with which the singer played. A couple of 1995 and 1996
demos launched the band (Iron Flames Of Battle and Death By The Storm
Wizard respectively) and the band played at the Milwaukee Metal
Fest.
After a negative experience with Cacophonous in England, the band
signed
to Soul Sold the label belonging to an Immolation member. Bloodstorm is
not
for the faint of heart. 2001 brought the release of the band's third
album
on the third label.
Metal War Productions announced the release of a Pentacle/Bloodstorm
10"
vinyl (with poster) called Archaic Undead Fury in 2004. The label
cancelled the split-10" in late 2004 following criticism of the label
by
two members of Bloodstorm.
Reviews
BLOOD STORM - PESTILENCE FROM THE DRAGONSTAR - SOUL SOLD
Apparently Listenable Records USA is dead and Tom (he of Immolation) has launched his own imprint instead. Not a bad idea if you are to release albums such as Blood Storm's sophomore effort, the follow up to their debut on the joke - label Cacophonous. Formed by former Goreaphobia front man Mezzardurus (aka Chris Gamble), Blood Storm is a tribute to the true sounds of death metal. Violently akin to Destroyer 666, Belial's debut or even Impaled Nazarene, the American quartet bulldozes everything in its path - it's all fast and furious. It's eerie how many death metal releases are featured in just this issue alone. - Ali "The Metallian"
