Bonded by Blood (the band)

Anyone heard these guys? I heard the song Immortal Life by them on Hard Attack and it sounded like my kind of thing.

Looks like they just have a self released EP out but are going to have something out on Earache next year.

The TMNT theme song they do is a riot, don't like the other songs quite as much as Immortal Life but it is still good stuff.

I'm sick of this whole Earache thing at the moment, it's just a fad with them, Thrash is the "new" thing again and Earache are whoring around it. They've been in contact with a couple of bands and they are looking to sign 3 more Thrash bands, they want 10 bands, what kind of label carries on this way ?

New-school L.A. thrashers BONDED BY BLOOD are set to record their debut Earache release "Feed the Beast" with producer Michael Rosen. Rosen, who has worked with the likes of TESTAMENT, VIO-LENCE, SADUS, JOE SATRIANI and DEATH ANGEL, will begin working with the band in the New Year.

Commented BONDED BY BLOOD vocalist Aladdin: "It feels freaking awesome. He has produced and engineered some of my favorite bands — TESTAMENT, VIO-LENCE and SADUS — and now BONDED BY BLOOD. It's like a dream come true. 'Feed the Beast' is sure to be one kick-ass album".

BONDED BY BLOOD will commence recording "Feed the Beast" on January 11, 2008 at J Street Recorders (TESLA) in Sacramento, California. The album's track listing is as follows:

01. Immortal Life
02. Feed The Beast
03. The Evil Within
04. Another Disease
05. Unusual Punishment
06. Vengeance
07. To A Sickening Degree
08. Strike Of Fear
09. Sounds Of Torture
10. Necropsy
11. Self-Immolation
12. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles - Theme Song (bonus track)

What is it with "new" bands going to producers from nearly 20 years ago or so ? is it just 'cause they want to feel big by saying "we worked with ...." ? I just don't get it.

Anyone have this and what do you think? I agree with the Death Angel comparison quite a bit and the vocalist styles after early Mustaine though with more rasp, at least in the phrasing. I'm not overly fond of Earache but on this one they did right.

I've got it and right now its between this and Hatchet as to who has thrash album of the year for me.I think they've got a fresh sound and the vocals are kinda unique.

got it. one of the best of the recent thrash movement

The only complaint really is the drums are a little sloppy. I figure though, they're kids and that should improve.

My top thrash cd of the year with Warbringer #2 and Testament #3.

Agreed.

I need to check out this band sometime.

Thanks for the heads up on Gama Bomb.

I may check them out!

meh

Haven't heard anything by these guys except for the track on the Thrashing Like A Maniac comp. I do want to hear more by them.

They are a good band. Nothing over the top, but they do what they do well.

I don't usually do blind buys anymore with my budget restraints but I took a gamble on Feed The Beast. I still got it when it comes to blind buys because I love this album. The vocals could be a little more melodic but that is a minor complaint. The vocals are still tolerable but the star of the album is the riffs and guitar solos. Too many thrash bands have guitar solos that scream (Slayer, Sacrament, etc.) but these solos sing. It's too late for them to be added to my 2008 list but if as far as thrash albums it is right behind Testament's for me.
