Emerging from the sun-drenched shores of the Gulf Coast in Texas, Bloodlines has solidified their presence in the modern metalcore scene with a sound that is both relentlessly passionate and spiritually profound.
Inspired by genre heavyweights such as For Today, Impending Doom, and Convictions, this four-piece band delivers a sonic experience that is as brutal as it is heartfelt.
In 2021, Bloodlines released their debut album, Facedown HEVEL, which quickly carved out a niche for the band within the metalcore community. The album, inspired by the biblical Book of Ecclesiastes, explores the seasons of life through a blend of classic metalcore and progressive elements. Critics praised the album for its innovative approach and strong execution. For instance, HEVEL was noted for its hard-hitting tracks like "Lotus," which features a mix of clean and screamed vocals that juggle between various breakdowns and melodic interludes.
For Bloodlines, their music transcends mere auditory assault; it serves as a vessel for a higher purpose. The band's mission is as clear as their sound is fierce: to spread the hope and love of Jesus Christ. This mission is not just an afterthought but the driving force behind every riff, lyric, and explosive breakdown. Their commitment to this cause has resonated deeply with fans, adding another layer of depth to their already compelling music.
Fast forward to 2024, and Bloodlines has returned with their highly anticipated second album, Holiness Cries. This new release delves deeper into the band’s signature sound while exploring themes of redemption, faith, and human struggle with unyielding honesty. Holiness Cries promises to be a testament to the band's evolution both musically and spiritually, showcasing their growth while remaining true to their core beliefs.
The new album features tracks like the title song "Holiness Cries," which has already garnered attention for its powerful message and intricate composition. The EP, available on major streaming platforms, continues to build on the band’s reputation for delivering music that speaks to the soul as much as it moves the body.
As Bloodlines continues to forge their path through the heavy music scene, they stand as beacons of faith and ferocity, unapologetically proclaiming their message through every crushing riff and soaring melody. For those seeking music that speaks to the soul while energizing the body, Bloodlines invites you to join them on their journey, where holiness cries amidst the chaos of the modern world.
The new EP Holiness Cries is now available. You can listen to it wherever you stream music (Spotify, Apple Music).
