Bloodjinn Bio

BLOODJINN (pronounced blood-gin) was formed in early August of 1999 by brothers vocalist Joel Collins and former drummer Justin Collins. In September of 1999 the band went into the studio and recorded their first release, entitled To Bleed The Demon, for the indie label Flatline Records. Due to the success of this release, Bloodjinn locked a record deal with Tribunal Records, better known for releasing debut albums for Atreyu & Scarlet. They began working on their first full length for Tribunal "Murder Eternal: Seven Short Stories For The Slightly Pyschotic." The band hit the road extensively in support of the release hitting many notable festivals such as Hellfest & Furnace Fest. In February of 2001, Bloodjinn made their way into the studio again to record two new tracks for a split release titled "Born In Hell, Raised In Jail" released on Tribunal Records in August 2001. Later that year, Bloodjinn inked a deal with Canadian based Goodfellow Records. "Leave This World Breathing" was recorded in January 2002. This album showed their hard work and dedication through being a concept album - written from a short story the band created. The album reflects life and how human beings often live their lives without care and concern for others, as well as holding someone inside your heart throughout life as they pass away. Bloodjinn continued to tour and play constantly until the band decided to take a break in June of 2003. They only played a few select shows, from supporting Darkest Hour and Unearth to co-headlining Friction Fest 5 with Underoath. Now back full force with new material and a couple of new members, Bloodjinn is still determined to create more thought provoking music. With this band of determined members, the future holds no boundaries!
