BLOOD REDEMPTION
(With their roots in the H8000 hardcore scene, this band takes the melodic, groovy, hard hitting metalcore the members former bands were known for, to the next level. Creating and searching for new and original music is the band’s main goal. Being influenced (in the 90’s by the great straight-edge/hardcore revolution with bands like YOUTH OF TODAY, JUDGE, GORILLA BISCUITS (…) to CRO-MAGS, PRONG, NEUROSIS (…), but also being blown away by metal bands such as MACHINE HEAD, IN FLAMES, CARCASS (…) the end result is a great mixture of all of those influences. But also H8000 heroes such as CONGRESS, BLINDFOLD, LIAR, SHORTSIGHT with their commitment and energy, morals and ideas and obviously their great music surely played an important role in their development)

NUESTROS DERECHOS
(NL - As a band inspired by hardcore/punk as well as (thrash) metal. This results in a good old fashioned, straight forward, load of noise.

A male singer leaning on the already known, progressive NEVERMORE/COMMUNIC, mixed with the melodic security of Björn Strid of SOILWORK.

The keyboards add an additional atmosphere and warmth. For fans of early MY DYING BRIDE, PARADISE LOST, ANATHEMA and even BLACK SABBATH)
