BLOOD was formed by Eisen, Taki, Geier and Radtke in March 1986 as a
fun-noise Band. We recorded 3 Demos during this noisy time.
In June 1987 VENTILATOR joined BLOOD and the songs got more structure and the music became
serious. The 4th Demo ´HEINOUS NOISE´ was recorded in Oct.1987, the 5th Demo ´SPASMO PARALYTIC
DREAMS´, where Bestial Bernd used the micro in Feb.1988 and the 6th Demo ´NO REGRET´ in Aug.
1988 with Chuck on vocals.After that we found a new Singer called Martin.
At the beginning of 1989 we got our first record-deal with the US-Label ´WILD RAGS RECORDS´
the release of our debut LP ´IMPULSE TO DESTROY´ was in July 1989. One year later WILD RAGS
released our first EP, ´RECOGNIZE YOURSELF´. After that we finished our cooperation with the
label, ´cause they totally ripped us off.
In Dec. 1990 we recorded 5 new songs, which were released on two different split EP´s
(one with IMPETIGO and the other with AGATHOCLES). those EP´s were self-releases with
nearly 2000 copies each sold. After experiments with a second guitar player and another
singer-change (Alex replaced Martin) we got another record deal with the german label ´1MF-RECORDz´
for the next 2 BLOOD Albums. The second LP called ´CHRISTBAIT´ released in June 1992 and the 3rd
Album ´O AGIOS PETHANE´ where Martin re-joined Blood released in Sep. 1993.
After that release we signed a deal with ´MORBID RECORDS´. In August 1994 they did our split
EP with DEAD INFECTION (with Eisen on vox) and the re-release of the 1st BLOOD Album on CD.
In march 1994 we found Clausi, who used to be our actual singer and stopped the permanent line-up
changes. later we recorded our 4th Album ´MENTAL CONFLICT´ released in Dec.1994.
In Sep.1995
we did another EP called ´SPITTLE RED OF BLOOD´ out on Iron records. In 1996 we recorded
our 5th Album to be released in August 1996 as a self release (called `DEPRAVED GODDESS´).
The next release was the split EP BLOOD/MYSTIC CIRCLE out since May 97. In December 97 the
split EP with PSYCHO (USA) is released on AX/TION records,USA. The BLOOD/INHUME split EP
was released in may 98. After that, we signed a contract at ARS METALLI records for the 6th full
BLOOD album called `gas flames bones` released since August 99.
In 2000 we became part of the
IMPETIGO-tribute CD on Razorback records - USA. In early 2001 the BLOOD/WARSPITE split 7"
released by Xetal records saw the daylight. After that in April 2001 KETZER PRODUCTIONS released
the full BLOOD 7" called massacre.
In march 2003 it was time for us to release the 7th BLOOD album called "Dysangelium"
ON Morbid records... it´s a fucking killer!
In May 2014 we recognized ourselves and had some line-up changes. Martin Witchskinner and Chuck replaced Clausi and Hanzi.
With this line-up we released our 8th Studioalbum "Inferno" in October 2017 as a self release. In 2021 we recorded 6 new songs, which were
released in 2022 on the split mini LP/CD with Nunslaughter and the 7" EP with Incantation via Hells Headbanger Records.
In August 2023 we parted ways with Chuck, so we are back with the "original line-up" of the debut album "Impulse to Destroy".
We played over 200 live shows with Bands as: DISMEMBER, ATROCITY, GOREFEST, EXTREME NOISE TERROR,
HOLY MOSES, FEAR OF GOD, MESSIAH, VADER, AGATHOCLES, SAMAEL, CRIPPLE BASTARDS and lots of others.
BLOOD is an unique mixture of DEATH METAL and GRINDCORE.
