Bloodbath release new song ‘Bloodicide’

BLOODBATH have released a new song!

The new song, titled Bloodicide, is taken from the death metal supergroup’s upcoming new album The Arrow of Satan Is Drawn which is scheduled to be released in October this year.

The new tracks features a bunch of British death metal guest stars, with CARCASS Jeff Walker, BOLT THROWER/MEMORIAM singer Karl Willetts and CANCER’s John Walker all providing guest vocals to the track.

Speaking his choice of guests, vocalist Old Nick (Nick Holmes) says, “the lads play a part in representing the backbone of the old school British death metal scene, which has also been a big influence on BLOODBATH since the beginning.” CARCASSJeff Walker comments “I owed Nick a tenner, so he told me instead of sending the bailiffs round he would kindly let me pay off my debt by contributing vocals to his new album. Imagine my great disappoint when I found out it wasn’t for THAT band but, was in fact for BLOODBATH. I have great faith in him that my vocals will be lower than his in the mix.”

Karl Willetts of BOLT THROWER adds, “I have known Nick Holmes for over 30 years – so when he asked me to do some vocals for the new BLOODBATH album how could I refuse? The opportunity to do things like this in life don’t often come twice so I am really pleased to contribute in a small way to this legendary opus!” And CANCER‘s John Walker says, BLOODBATH is an amazing band and I’ve had the chance to do some vocals for their new, killer album along with Jeff Walker and Karl Willetts. It’s been a bloody honour and a lot of fun!!”
