Guitarist Teemu Vähäkangas shares:
”Bloodride´s first gigs around upcoming album begin to materialize…..and
more to come!!! It is wonderful to see gigs come true after short break.
And of course when you go to open air festival like Nuclear Intervention
Fest, it is even more special. Music is best live, thrash is best live!
Personally I´m old gig rat so this is what comes naturally and I guess
it goes with whole bunch of Bloodride. Get ready, this is just a start!”
More shows TBA.

meticulously molding what is destined to be the next monumental chapter

boundaries of thrash metal.
In the latest Studio Confessions from the Heart of the Metal Storm –
Guitarist Teemu Vähäkangas Shares Insight:
“Final mixings with magician Jarno Hänninen in D-Studio are pretty much
done. With some tracks we even tried some lighter sounds for the
guitars, but no worries: this will be Bloodridic mayhem from the start
to the very end. Harsh, fast, heavy and brutal. Jarno will also take
care of the mastering and we have to say that this cake tastes great
already. The process has taken more time as we planned but the most
important thing is that we are satisfied with the result.
Also at this point, we begin to look ahead to upcoming gigs again. It
will be a blast to thrash out these new tunes to the pitting crowd.
Thrashing madness continues!!!”
Stay tuned for more updates from the studio as BLOODRIDE continues to
craft their next thrash masterpiece.
