Originally released November 29, 1994 on Rugged Records and produced by P. K. Mitchell, this was the band's first and only album. It featured vocalist Robin Kyle Basauri, who sang for Die Happy, alongside former badlands bassist Greg Chaisson and drummer Jeff Martin as well as former Fear Not guitarist, Chris Howell. This is a bluesy hard rock masterpiece with plenty to spare.
Heaven's Metal called Blood "a searing, serious outbreak of pure rock 'n' roll power." The songs "Wolves at the Door " and "Hellbound Train" display the band's no-holds barred approach, expounding on the wages of sin and the reality of hell that awaits the unrepentant. "Tears of Joy" is a heartfelt gospel number, complete with female background vocals.
Roxx Records is bringing you another long lost Christian Metal classic that has been out of print for years and years! Red Sea released one album entitled 'Blood' before calling it a day back in 1994. The album was critically acclaimed and garnered quite a bit of attention back then, but alas given the hard rock and metal market at that time the album ended up being a one off and a follow up was never recorded.
2019 marks the 25th anniversary of this classic album and we revisit it and improve upon it in every way we possibly can. This 25th anniversary edition features only those 11 classic tracks completely remastered by Rob Colwell of Bombworks Sound. It also boasts brand new upgraded artwork and design that holds true to the original concept by Scott Waters of No Life Til Metal Graphics.
Blood is being pressed on vinyl for the very first time ever in a limited edition pressing of only 500 pieces. There will be a limited pressing of 150 on red vinyl and 350 on black vinyl. Also a brand new limited edition CD pressing housed in a jewel case with a beautiful 8 page booklet with lyrics liner notes and previously unreleased archive photos of the band.
