Bloodgood: Christian Heavy Metal Band
Bloodgood was formed by bassist Michael Bloodgood, who recruited guitarist David Zaffiro, drummer J.T. Taylor, and vocalist Les Carlsen. The band released their self-titled debut album in 1986, which quickly gained a following among Christian metal fans. The album featured a mix of heavy metal and hard rock, with lyrics that were inspired by Christian themes.
Over the years, Bloodgood has released several more albums, including “Detonation” (1987), “Rock in a Hard Place” (1988), and “All Stand Together” (1991). Their music has evolved over time, with the band incorporating more progressive and alternative elements into their sound.
Despite their success in the Christian metal scene, Bloodgood has faced criticism from some quarters for their use of heavy metal music, which some believe is incompatible with Christianity. However, the band has always maintained that their music is a form of evangelism, and that they are using the language of heavy metal to reach a specific audience.
Bloodgood has also faced challenges over the years, including lineup changes and a hiatus in the 1990s. However, the band has persevered, and they continue to tour and record new music to this day. Their commitment to their message and their fans has made them one of the most enduring bands in the Christian metal scene.
One interesting fact that many people may not know about the band Bloodgood is that they were the first Christian metal band to perform in the Soviet Union. In 1989, at the invitation of the Soviet government, Bloodgood traveled to Moscow to perform a series of concerts. At the time, the Soviet Union was still under Communist rule, and Western music was not widely accepted.
Despite the challenges they faced, Bloodgood performed to enthusiastic crowds, and their concerts were a groundbreaking moment in the history of Christian music. The band’s visit to the Soviet Union also helped to pave the way for other Western acts to perform in the country.
In addition to their visit to the Soviet Union, Bloodgood has also been involved in various humanitarian efforts over the years, including raising money for earthquake relief in Mexico and supporting charities that work with at-risk youth. Their commitment to using their music for good has made them not just a successful band, but also a force for positive change in the world.
Overall, Bloodgood is a band that has left an indelible mark on the Christian metal scene. Their music is powerful, their message is inspiring, and their commitment to their fans is unwavering. If you’re a fan of heavy metal or Christian music, then Bloodgood is definitely a band worth checking out.
