BLOODPHEMY
Steamrolling, rumbling and very dark Death Metal. Drawing influence from Florida, Sweden and their heritage, these Dutchmen distinguish themselves with aggressive death metal mixing modern and classic styles with heavy atmosphere. Prepare yourself for cavernous deep roaring vocals, heavy slow crawling dirges and up-tempo psychotic slaughtering that will keep you banging your head. Telling dark, psychotic tales in
both their lyrics and through their live shows.
BLOODPHEMY was created in 2000 and is based in Amersfoort (NL). In 2002 they released the album ‘SECTION 8’. Shortly after they disbanded, only to be revived in 2015. Since then, they released EP ‘BLOOD WILL TELL’ (2016), album ‘BLOODLINE’ (2017), album ‘IN COLD BLOOD’ (2019) and their concept album ‘BLOOD SACRIFICE’ (2021). In 2023 the band signs with Non Serviam Records to release their latest album ‘DAWN OF MALEVOLENCE’ (2023).
This album tells a dark and twisted story of a young boy whose only memory is of the horrible Asylum he grew up in; among the insane, the violent and a sadistic staff. Through years of suffering and torture he finally is able to feign normalcy and is eventually released into a world he doesn’t know or understand. This threatening world triggers flashbacks of anger and violence from his earliest youth as he finally grasps a glimpse of the past that always seemed just out of reach. Overwhelmed by these experiences he spirals down
further into madness, killing people around him and ending up in the same horrible place where we was locked all that time. This time, armed with a new found lust for blood he swears to kill everyone there who has wronged him and set out on a journey of revenge.
BLOODPHEMY is crushing stages in GERMANY, LUXEMBURG, CZECH REPUBLIC, AUSTRIA, CROATIA, POLAND, SLOVAKIA and THE NETHERLANDS on festivals like CZECH DEATH FEST (CZ), KALTENBACH OPEN AIR (AUS), HEADBANGERS BASH (NL), FUCK THE COMMERCE (GER), GOTHOOM (SLO), MAD FEST (PL), DEATH COAST (DK) and many others.
