Bloodlet Bio

In 1992, Bloodlet descended, delivering brutal evil-core distinct in its diabolic chord structures, lyrical despair and anguish. Bloodlet created a blueprint used with great success by metalcore bands everywhere until, burnt out and broke, they made the decision to go on an indefinite hiatus. In the heavy music world, the silence was deafening. The band dispersed, with vocalist Scott Angelacos and guitarist Art Legere heading for Denver and drummer Charles King moving to Berlin.



But in late 2001, internet chat rooms and message boards were a buzz with the rumor that Bloodlet was once again rehearsing together and even working on new material for the first time in nearly four years. Gossip columns in underground press such as Rockpile and Stereo-type started to pick up on the buzz, stating that "The mighty Bloodlet has reformed..." and "Floridian hardcore/metal hybrid Bloodlet have reunited and are currently working on new material". After a breathtaking, incendiary performance at Gainesville Fest, Bloodlet confirmed their reformation and began making plans to record for Victory. Bloodlet enlisted the formidable skills of producer Steve Albini and entered his Electrical Audio on Chicago's North Side in March of 2002.



"Three Humid Nights In The Cypress Trees" is the end result of 9 days holed up at Albini's compound. Serious Bloodlet fans may be surprised at the short time it took to record the opus, but raw, in your face and direct was the band¹s goal from the beginning. Bloodlet's discordant sensory onslaught is the result of crunching guitars, primal rhythms and Scott Angelacos' roaring, inhuman delivery of his complex, brooding lyrics, forming a mind-bending mixture of evil metalcore.



Paranoia, confrontation and enlightenment feed the sheer catharsis of Bloodlet. "Three Humid Nights In The Cypress Trees" is the culmination of ten years of brewing discontent, high-volume rage and bone-crushing riffs; it is the ultimate symbol of Bloodlet's sinister discontent.
