For those who are unfamiliar with your band – introduce yourself!
We’re a 5 piece death metal band currently made up of Jasan (vocals), Joseph (Guitar), Michael (Guitar), Jesse (Drums), and Dennis (Bass).
Give us a bit of history to Bloodscribe
Bloodscribe was formed by Jesse and myself (Jasan) in 2004 strictly as a way for us to spend time and have fun with music, never did we imagine playing so many shows and getting as far as we have now. After a few member changes we seem to have reached a pretty solid line up that has giving the band the sound we have today.
Where does the name come from?
The name was actually completely made up by Jesse after skimming through and dictionary and seeing the word “describe” and simply added “blood” to it. There’s no real wow factor to the name and in no way is it related or influenced by Lamb of God.
What are your influences?
We all agree on 3 major influences, Dying Fetus, Disgorge, and The Black Dahlia Murder.
What are you listening to at the moment that you would like to recommend?
We all listen to different thing aside from metal if you’re open minded then definitely check out.
What did you want to achieve with your new album?
The goals for this album are endless and by no way have we set limits going in to this album but we definitely want to play some shows out of the country.
Are you happy with how it turned out?
We’re certainly happy with the end result but we have already raised the standards for the next album.
What can you tell us about the lyrics?
Well the lyrics are influenced by current events in society as well as ongoing ones, one big topic for us is religion and its weakening influence on its followers.
Give us a bit of information on the songwriting process.
We all tend to have our own unique ideas which we bring to practice to share and build on as a band. We usually pick one idea and grind it out till we’ve written something we all agree on.
What’s your favourite song on the album and why?
We all really took a liking on “Enslaved by Deceptions” because it really portrays the sound we are going for thus making it an easy choice for our first single and video.
How do you see your songs/direction developing in the future?
We’ve actually already started writing for the next album and feel we are headed towards a heavier and better plotted sound that will make an impact in the metal scene.
What’s next for Bloodscribe?
For now we plan on really pushing the album by promoting and touring as much as possible, while doing that we will continue to write and hopefully have some new material to go into the studio with in the near future.
