Bloodstream Parade
/ Bio The struggle is the glory.?A statement never more true than in
the case of the five members of the Chicago-based heavy metal collective,
BLOODSTREAM PARADE. The band has followed a winding, vacillating seldom
traveled road since it basic initial inception in 1995 when drummer, Shawn
Johnson and Guitarist Ryan Buck decided that they’d rule the world with a
unique brand of metal seldom or not seen at that time. Their armament? A band
called Inspiteofyou. Needless to say that the whole world domination bit did not come
to fruition exactly (nor, in retrospect would they have wanted it to ?too
much maintenance; leaving little or no time to rock) and there have been many
anomalous, shocking, thrilling and lamentable moments that have brought these
two friends to the year 2008. Rather than take up the space equivalent to
Tolstoy’s “War and Peace?outlining a near twelve year play by play of the
evolution and eventual creation of BLOODSTREAM PARADE this is a band that
chooses to look forward, whilst building on valued experiences carved and
scraped from the halls of heavy metaldom along the way. The initial compulsion to create something different and
distinct within the framework of true heavy metal that drove earlier
successes for these lads is still very much the guiding light that leads the
way for BLOODSTREAM PARADE today. BLOODSTREAM PARADE as it is currently known
was in true essence unleashed in 2004 and almost instantly created a profound
name for themselves in both the live circuit and with their independently
released recording, “War is the Answer? recorded at Studio One with famed
producer/engineer Chris Djuricic. Particularly, BLOODSTREAM PARADE
consistently brought a powerful and pummeling live show, securing opening
slots for national acts such as Sworn Enemy, A Life Once Lost, Full Blown
Chaos, Otep and the almighty reunited Anthrax and set out to reduce all in
attendance to absolute dust; or at the very least compelling them to say
“Wow, I feel as though I have experienced a life-altering performance.? With the inevitable coming of some auspicious personnel changes,
in mid-2007 the band took a rare opportunity to recharge, refresh and
continue to hone in on what makes them unique both musically and visually and
welcomed new “blood?(pun intended) to the fold. With the addition of the
ultra-charismatic Tim Dumpiere on guitar and the inspired madness of Tony
Greinke (ex-Down Lo, Concussion) on lead vocals joining the existing ranks of
Shawn Johnson on drums, Ryan Buck supplying guitar/vocals and Wolf
(ex-Withdrawal, Deacon, Inspiteofyou) on bass, BLOODSTREAM PARADE have been
successfully creating new material inspired by the fervor of their impetuous
youth. Focusing on writing engaging, aggressive and remarkable music coupled
with lyrical content that borders more on the psychological and the
esthetically metaphorical than the typical angst or anger-ridden prose of
your standard metal band, BLOODSTREAM PARADE compels the listener to think,
feel and get metal with thy neighbor. replica watches uk Recent live shows have yielded a flurry of praise and even a few
injuries to the band members to boot, all indicating that the flow of this
stream has not abated a bit, but rather has intensified into a discernable
force in Chicago’s illustrious heavy metal scene. Poised to enter the studio
to record new material in early 2008 and continuing to provide high energy
and personable heavy metal entertainment to those fortunate enough to see
this band live, BLOODSTREAM PARADE is set to gain that aforementioned glory
in whatever form it takes. |
