FEATURED RELEASE
"OUT FOR BLOOD"
OUT FOR BLOOD
Formed in Coventry in 2003. In December 2003, Out For Blood recorded their first demo ‘Assault & Battery’ at Sable Rose Studios, Coventry with producer Andy Faulkner (Bolt Thrower). Out For Blood followed up the recording by playing numerous local gigs notably supporting the likes of Stampin’ Ground, Mistress & Narcosis.
In late 2004, Out For Blood re-entered the studio with Andy Faulkner to record three tracks for a split release with US Metal band Organ titled ‘Pulse Of Underground’ which was released by new UK label Meltdown Records in March 2005. ‘Pulse Of Underground’ received some good reviews in various zines & websites. In support of the release Out For Blood toured the UK with Organ & Godsize on the ‘Hate Filled Abuse’ Tour. Following the tour one of the tracks from the split release ‘Iron Lung’ featured on a compilation called ‘Angryculture – The Best Of The Underground’ (Anticulture Records) & 10,000 copies were distributed across the UK & Europe.
In December 2005, Out For Blood were set to take part in a UK tour with US bands Organ & Daath but due to issues with work visas both bands were deported & all but one of dates, the Meltdown Metal Fest in Dudley, were cancelled.
In the year of six, Out For Blood recorded their first full-length album again with Andy Faulkner at his Sable Rose Studios & it will be released in September 2006 via The Devil Knows You’re Dead Records.

Out For Blood album review by Lords Of Metal
The Brittish band Out For Blood releases its first record on their self-created label The Devil Knows You're Dead. Of course this can mean two things; either the band likes to be in control of their own product, or their music is so bad no label wanted to sign them. After listening to this album I am willing to go for the first option, first of all because I am not an evil person, and secondly because Out For Blood certainly shows some potential here.
It is all still rather crude and not very subtle, but the mix of metalcore and sludge is already quite listenable and it diverts enough from its idols (EyeHateGod, Iron Monkey, Napalm Death) to earn itself a spot in the scene. Out For Blood does this especially by relentlessly stepping on the pedals, while leadsinger Andrew squeals like pig brought to the slaughter. A small flaw is the music's simplicity, yet at the same time the tightness of the performance. A more 'loose' rockn'roll attitude would have given the record a well-needed dosis of filth. Without this the band sounds a lot more anonymous. The production is brilliant though (excellent job by Andy Faulkner, who also worked for Bolt Thrower) and there are enough interesting ideas on the record which make Out For Blood a band to look out for in the future.
