What I particularly like about Souncloud is the visual tease it gives you of what the track you are about to play might sound like. In terms of Bloodloss it not a complete giant mountain, but a series of solid blocks of peaks, which indicate that Bloodloss don't just constantly hammer everything home, but don't take my word for it - read the press release below, click on this link which will take you to the track This Still Remains and get ready to headbang!

Balls out metal with hammering grooves and tasty hooks is what South Londoners Bloodloss do best, and their debut mini album 'The Struggle', out on the 5 March, is packed of neck breaking bangers.

Combine bruising breakdowns and hook-laden choruses with riffs that Rob Flynn would be proud of, 'The Struggle' is a must listen for those who love their metal to deliver the core principles – riffs, aggression, passion.. and more riffs!

Matt Hobbs belts out his passionate vocals with lyrics inspired by life experiences to massive effect, which perfectly complement the skull crushing riffery and shredding leads of Mark Browell and Rob Ironmonger. This is supported by the killer grooves and blasts of bassist David Smith and drummer Daniel Kelly.

Although new on the scene, Bloodloss have quickly turned heads and scored themselves a slot at this year's Sophest supporting Romeo Must Die and Xerath and many more on 12 February.

As huge as they sound on record, Bloodloss are all about the live show and have racked up some impressive high profile shows last year, playing with the likes of TRC, Breed 77 and Ill Nino.
