Blood Has Been Shed. Are They Back?

 

This has already been all over the web circulating on a lot of the Metal sites but I’m going to post up here for those that are interested and might have missed it. Blood Has Been Shed,the former band of Killswitch Engage vocalist Howard Jones and KSE drummer Justin”i now have the greatest beard in metal” Foley might be back. The band has more or less been put on the back burner since the pair joined KSE. They had promised that the band would not go by the way side and while Blood Has Been Shed has never officially been broken up, they haven’t done much of anything since those 2 joined KSE. Blood Has Been Shed guitarist Corey Unger says that he is pretty far into the writing of a new album. He says there will be a pretty good mix of people involved on the album including original members. While this definitely means that Jones and Foley will involved on some level it also kind of sounds like they wont be full features on the album either which really kind of sucks because Jones is a killer vocalist and Foley is a crazy good drummer but with Killswitch on the verge of releasing a new album and already being booked on the Music As A Weapon Tour and strongly rumored to be joining the main stage for this summers RockStar Mayhem Fest, it doesn’t even look like it would possible for them to be real active with another project. I will still be curious to hear it regardless of all that, Blood Has Been Shed has some solid music and i am definitely willing to give something new a good listen. Keep the eyes and the ears open for more news on this later on if you are a fan. I am sure there are more than a few glad to hear this.
