Bio:
The band was formed by two gentlemen Niko Karppinen and Petteri Lammassaari in one somewhat alcohol-filled evening of 2000 when the guys accidentally met each other at a gig of Tarot in Helsinki and started to warm up an idea of forming their own band. With Niko on guitar and Petteri on drums, and inspired by such Thrash Metal acts as Testament, Slayer, Anthrax and Exodus, this combos musical direction was soon ready to take its very first steps on the soil of old-school thrash Metal; only the remaining musicians for bass, another guitar and vocals needed to be found. Soon, however, the remaining 3 guys were recruited to the line-up of Bloodride; Teemu Vahakangas came to another guitar, Esa Pennala took a 4-stringer and Jyrki Leskinen found himself behind the microphone. After some hard training, the band was ready to thrash out their 1st ever demo. First demo was released in April 2003 and got somewhat good response. In the spring of 2004 Bloodride entered in the studio again with 6 new tracks to record MCD "Bloodridden Disease" which got great response very widely.After releasing "Bloodridden Disease" band stormed thru several gigs in Finland with acts like Codeon, Maple Cross, Diamanthian etc.In the spring of 2007 Bloodride entered in the studio again with 6 new tracks, Three of 'em ended to Promo 2007. Some more gigs and new songs composed.Year 2010 started with 3-track single "Supreme Predator" and some touring.Bloodride's debut album "Crowned In Hell" came out through Violent Journey Records in spring 2011. Storming around with Axegressor, Barathrum and Exodus (just to name few) these old farts earned some serious hangovers and enthusiastic crowds.2012 Bloodriders started to put some riffs together and it was time to do some beerdrinking in D-Studio and BlackSheepStudios. After these sessions Niko decided to step back and so came Bloodride's first line-up change.Axemaster Simo stepped in and your thrashbrigade relased their 2nd album "Bloodmachine" 14th March 2014.After that again some more gigs, also in Estonia and Germany. Beer, sweat and fun!Between December 2015 - May 2016 Bloodride did recordings for their third album "Planet Alcatraz" which came out through Inverse Records November 25th.
Album:
Continuing to rule in the old-school, Finnish thrashers Bloodride has steadily gained their style and approach quite readily throughout the years while taking their influences into a rather fearsome, ferocious assault. Keeping their consistency intact once again throughout their sound, the group’s third full-length effort was initially released November 25, 2016 on Inverse Records.From the beginning notes this here is quite apparently a rather ferocious and charging blend of old-school riffing with a more vicious, modernized bite. There’s a great deal of old-school influence here in the riffing which takes that predominantly crunchy up-tempo style into the majority of the album’s paces and creates some rather frantic and finely-stylized thrashing patterns here. Likewise, this approach is styled nicely alongside a more vicious tactic of whipping up groove-styled rhythms and patterns in the riffing and coupling that with some deep churning death metal-styled patterns for a rather impressive blast of extremity against the more vicious attack. This is quite a fun attack though it tends to end up giving this one a rather troubling nature of not really being able to realize it’s true potential by keeping it wildly veering between the more ravenous old-school approach as well as the more deeply-churning energies that aren’t that well-constructed and keeps this off-balance throughout here. It’s enjoyable enough as it is, but the manner of making all their elements coming together into a coherent whole is a slight misstep.There’s some troubling nature here with the rather troublesome writing that doesn’t generate the kind of consistently-coherent feel that the material really requires of it, though the fact that it’s still got enough enjoyable elements makes for a somewhat straightforward appeal to the most devout old-school thrasher fanatics only.
