Band: Built on Blood
From: Hamilton, Ontario


Their formation story:
(Josh, guitar): "Kohle (bass) and I have been playing music together for years. We met Christian (drummer) in the Ontario scene in 2022, and then met Brad through our friend Kenedi (Fight on Sight). We've been going at it since early 2023."

Their sound in their own words:
"Our style is definitely ignorant; real heavy beatdown with groove and little sprinkles of hip-hop, death metal, and traditional hardcore throughout. Our influences are bands like Trapped Under Ice, Nails, Downpresser, Pain of Truth, etc."

Latest release info:
"Edge of Fear contains 3 songs we wrote last year and would perform regularly and a brand new song ('Soul Punisher'). We recorded it at Boxcar with Sean Pearson, mixed and mastered by Collin St Mary (Dayz Lost), and the art was done by Xavier Wilson (Gridiron, Simulakra)."

Future plans:
"We plan on just continuing to build ourselves in Ontario/Quebec, play more shows, and hopefully head down to the States next year or the year after."

What other bands from their region should we check out?
"Bands from our region that should definitely be checked out are: Reality Denied, Terminator, Over It, Shingen, Gavel, Fight on Sight, Bad Bet, Just Right, Mauling, Mile End, 100% Pure, Ethereal Tomb, Enemy Within, Rust, Die Alone, Spirit of Vengeance, Destined to Burn, Klobber, Mace and many more."
