I hadn’t heard of Bloodshot Dawn until just a few weeks ago, which was a grave, grave mistake. I am now obsessed with these guys and their amazing take on melodic death/ thrash metal. Our very own Noyan gave their debut album a perfect score, and even went as far as saying, “If anyone can bring melodeath back, these guys have a good chance of doing so. In essence, Bloodshot Dawn are the heroes that Gothenburg needs.” I couldn’t agree more with Noyan’s sentiments, and the band has launched a Kickstarter campaign to help fund the recording of their highly anticipated follow-up album.
In classic Kickstarter fashion, Bloodshot Dawn are offering tons of cool perks for contributors, including exclusive bundles, Xbox gaming sessions, guest solos for your music, and a chance to actually be drawn into some of the artwork for the album by the imitable Pär Olofsson. This is definitely an album worth contributing to. The band has tapped several awesome guest musicians to be featured on the album, including Sven de Caluwe of Aborted, Teemu Mantysaari of Wintersun, and more. If you’re not familiar with Bloodshot Dawn, stream their debit album below, and then head over to the Kickstarter page and help these talented Brits get their sure-to-be awesome second album recorded!
