BONDED BY BLOOD – Interview with Band
BONDED BY BLOOD are the newest thrash sensation out of L.A. The group formed in 2005 and have released one demo/EP Extinguish the Weak and a full-length, Feed the Beast. Their EP caught the ear of Earache Records (the label primarily responsible for bring back thrash), thus resulting in their signing with the said, established label. Before releasing Feed the Beast, BBB was featured on a the Thrashing Like a Maniac compilation, also released by Earache Records.
This group may be new to the scene and their members are quite young (some are still minors), but they bring a wealth of knowledge concerning thrash and do it quite well. One listen to Feed the Beast will not reveal a bunch of novice kids unfamiliar with their instruments. No, their music relates a veteran group of fierce intensity. Being young has its advantage, too. BBB has a spark and vigor that was part of the charm of the first wave of thrash.
BBB is currently touring with FUELED BY FIRE (dropped off the tour) and MERCYLESS DEATH as part of the package featuring bands on the Thrashing Like a Maniac compilation. Tonight, the group stopped off in Austin, Texas to play Headhunters, which is owned by famous front man Billy Milano (S.O.D., M.O.D.). All five members of the group met with Metal Centre on a patio/deck area to discuss the tour and their recent album.
