Bloodsimple
Bloodsimple was an American heavy metal band from New York City that formed in 2002. They were signed to Warner Bros. Records.

The term apparently describes the addled, fearful mindset people are in after a prolonged immersion in violent situations. The term was coined in the novel ''Red Harvest'', which is also the title of Bloodsimple's second album. History Early history (2002–2004) Bloodsimple formed in 2002, originally under the name Fix 8, and featured former Vision of Disorder members vocalist Tim Williams and guitarist Mike Kennedy, along with ex-Piece Dogs, Skrew, and Medication and current Hellyeah bassist Kyle Sanders (brother of Troy Sanders, bassist of heavy metal band Mastodon), and former Downset, and Deadbolt drummer Chris Hamilton.

A Cruel World
''A Cruel World'' is the debut album by American heavy metal band Bloodsimple, released on March 29, 2005. Musical style In broad terms, ''Cruel World's'' songs can be seen as falling into one of three categories, the categories being hardcore but commercially digestible nu metal ("Straight Hate", "Path to Prevail", "What If I Lost It", "Blood in Blood Out", "Cruel World", "Falling Backwards"), Alice in Chains styled alternative metal ("Sell Me Out", "Running from Nothing", "Flatlined"), and two softer alternative rock ballads ("The Leaving Song", "Plunder"). This kind of stylistic direction, to some extent, shows the record carrying on that of ''From Bliss to Devastation'', Tim Williams and Mike Kennedy's main band Vision of Disorder's last release before its split-up. Production and marketing The band’s debut record was recorded with rock producer GGGarth Richardson in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. Richardson had previously worked with a number of alternative metal a ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
