Biography Bloodtrial

Formed from the ashes of several local bands in 2005, BloodTrial began life as an aggressive in-your-face hardcore band influenced by the likes of Throwdown, Hatebreed and Terror that has evolved over the past 5 years to embrace heavy music in all it's entirety and has now become a visceral force to be reckoned with. The hardcore foundation is still very much intact and still plays a big part within the scope of the BloodTrial sound, but other musical styles seep through that showcase the band's open mindedness, diversity and love for all things heavy.

After some line-up changes, BloodTrial settled into a solid formidable unit that has consistently been trashing stages and crushing audiences, converting kids to their own brand of devastating hardcore wherever they went. With support spots for bands such as Madball, Born From Pain, Full Blown Chaos, First Blood, Liar and Death Before Dishonor to name but a few, BloodTrial are a band equally at home in a sweatbox playing to a horde of sweaty dedicated hardcore kids moshing it up and stagediving or on big stages with the scene's elite.

But do not be fooled by the pure aggression and bludgeoning intensity BloodTrial's music spews forth, as this band have something to say and take a collective stand as one with their critical viewpoint on the world's current events. Politically aware and proud to discuss the rights and wrongs of a world gone wrong and growing in despair as each day passes, BloodTrial find themselves as a lone voice still confronting the issues that affect one and all, when many bands have seemed to neglect what matters.

BloodTrial provide a critical viewpoint on a society rife with parasites sucking the blood out of it, but keep a "rock n roll" attitude in the process.

Thoughts behind the lyrics

The songs:
No dead end
Die or drown
Here and now
Reclaim control
Consequences

This dark cycle:
This start of our EP turns the speed up slowly. In this song we used a sample out of the movie „Network“. This movie was made in 1976. In this sample you can hear an anchor of the evening news, who has enough off the state of the world at that time. Although the movie is fictional, the situation which is described is as real as it gets.
Now more than 25 years later, this message can still be told as it is today's news. What is changed?

No dead end:
Living in a world filled with political incorrectness, where the majority of the world isn't surprised anymore when hundreds of war victims die each day, causes to lose hope in a better world. That's reality
Losing hope shouldn't mean losing the will to fight and be critical.
Without hope you're still strong! Fight on!

Die or drown:
The title song of our EP. Die or drown. Die or drown, it ends up in the same result. You're dead. Only the way how differs. Living constantly in a situation where your life, or your children's lives will lose all value, because the world around you is oppressed by politics and religion? You can either accept it and you'll die or you fight it, still with a change you'll drown, but then you've done everything to survive. Simple said: never give up, even when there's no positive outlook anymore.

Here and now:
This world anno 2010 is filled with acts of violence, children's abuse, environmental hazards and many many more things which shouldn't have place in this world.
Today it's too late to think that you can do something about it sometime later. You should start here and now. Look around, be critical against all!

Reclaim control:
A simple message: religious institutes have too much control in this world. Religion should not be involved in politics; religion should not control your life as it does now. There's no greater power than you. Your world is here and now, not controlled by an institute who uses ancient thoughts build on fear to claim power and great financial resources. Stop living the lie

Consequences:
Too many accept information which appears in the media and on the internet as reality. Without questioning. This song ends with the sample. Everybody should be critical, nobody should remain quiet. Be mad as hell, speak yourself out that you won't take this anymore.
