About Bloodwraith

"As there was war in heaven, peace began to falter on the earth..."

Formed in August of 2010 to continue on the path created by his former band, mainman Wargoat sought to expand upon his past by creating new hymns. Some demo tracks were recorded throughout 2010 and into 2011, but for various reasons the project was put on hold. It wouldn't be until the spring of 2012 that Bloodwraith would strike back with new songs and new members. Wargoat enlisted the help of a session drummer and second guitarist, but this only resulted in the recording of one demo track. After this, Wargoat was joined by his longtime friend and past band member Moribund in the early summer of that year. The two wrote ten new songs for their first album, which they recorded in late July/early August. Due to problems with the sound, only 8 of these songs were included on the finished album, entitled As Above, So Below.

"A fist in the face of holiness, we bring the hammer down..."

The album was released in a mere 33 CD-R copies, which did not satisfy the band. Soon after this, the two decided that new songs must be created, so they set out to write feverishly. During the rest of 2012 and all of 2013, the band wrote many new songs, which sounded more mature and much more varied than the songs that appeared on their first album. In the winter of 2014, As Above, So Below was finally re-issued by Supreme Violence Productions on CD format with new artwork. This is the definitive version of the album.

"Night casts a shadow over the day..."

In the spring of 2014, the band began to record demo versions of the songs that will appear on their next album. So far, 3 have been tracked with more coming soon. Bloodwraith is not just a band to Wargoat and Moribund, but a way of life that encompasses all of their being. It digs deep into their souls and craves artistic creation. There's no telling where the path will lead them.
