Recently I was introduced to the musical stylings of the band ” The Blood Brothers”. I never heard of them until a week ago. It ends up that they were a band for 10 years and 3 months a go they went there seperate ways. I really enjoy there music because they combine techno beats, with distorted guitars, bumpin’ bass lines and a fat drum sound.

They are much like “Horse the Band” as they both combine techno with hardcore melodies. I am really dissapointed to find out they are no longer together as there music is so unique. I can only imagine how awesome there concerts would be. On the upside you can still find there songs and videos on there Myspace

They have many different and unique songs including “Set fire to the face on fire”, “We ride Skeletal lightning” and my favourite ” Cecilia and the sillhouette saloon”. The reason that song is so good is simple, they take a rock beat which sounds much like the Chorous from the Tool hit “Lateralus” and digitalize it and keep the beat through the whole song while the singer screams. Ironically enough the song does not get boring because they manipulate the speed of the beat, and change key at times but the beat always reamains the same. As simple as it seems it is innovative in a way.

A lot of there songs strongly show the elements used by such bands as: Black Sabbath, Metallica, 3 iches of blood, Maximum the Hormone and even the great Led Zeppelin.

In the end I can not really say what kind of music they are, whether it’s thrash metal, melodic metal, hardcore, screamo, experimental, in the end they’re simply great.

If anybody wants to learn more you can find videos, and concerts on youtube.
