Bloodsimple is a heavy metal / metalcore band from New York City, USA.
Music[modifier | modifier le code]
The music of Bloodsimple infuses brutal hardcore and metalcore sounds with more melodic alternative rock elements.
Bloodsimple mixes the brutal punch of Pantera with the melodic melancholy of Alice in Chains. The band’s sound can be attributed in part to its diverse influences. Vocalist Tim Williams cites Layne Staley and Jim Morrison as influences, alongside Phil Anselmo; while the band claims to be influenced by Radiohead, Portishead and the The Doors, alongside Slayer, Pantera, Mastadon, and Metallica.
History[modifier | modifier le code]
Bloodsimple was formed in 2002 by vocalist Tim Williams and guitarist Mike Kennedy. Williams and Kennedy had previously been in seminal hardcore outfit Vision of Disorder (“V.O.D.”) for more than 10 years. Bloodsimple was originally planned as a V.O.D side project, but ultimately became the main project after dissatisfaction with the direction of V.O.D led it into an extended hiatus.
The band’s name was taken from Blood Simple, the debut motion picture by the Frères Coen.
Williams and Kennedy searched for further members for the new band, eventually recruiting guitarist Nick Rowe and drummer Chris Hamilton. Hamilton subsequently introduced the band to bassist Kyle Sanders and the band’s line-up was complete.
Bloodsimple came to the attention of Mudvayne’s Chad Gray, after friend Hamilton gave him the band's demo. After opening for Mudvayne in Philadelphia, Gray signed the band as the first artist on his Bullygoat Records imprint on Warner Bros Records [1].
The band’s debut record A Cruel World was recorded with GGGarth Richardson in Vancouver, Canada.
Bloodsimple toured in support of Mudvayne in April and May of 2005.
