Bloody Harvest is not just an Extreme Metal band – it’s the voice of several generations. Facing difficult times, the band has neither been defeated nor deprived of its human features. Despite all that, like a living creature, the band has absorbed memories, torments, and despair. It has merged triumphs and life changes. Having survived everything, the band proudly straightens its shoulders and screams! It has become a voice of despair and hope. It has become the voice of pain. And the voice of war...
Bloody Harvest – unfortunately, this name has justified itself. There was an actual bloody harvest. That occurred in Mariupol, the town where steel was melted. Lead became a permanent part of hearts there. Where the soldiers’ boots tapped to the rhythm of freedom and an irresistible desire for liberty and prosperity. In the darkness of the night, dark figures made history in this town. Among them was band's compatriot, their brother, to whom this particular Single is dedicated...
In this track, we can hear the sound of death. But it's not a death of decay. This is death in honour of liberation! The dissonances at the beginning of the song prepare us for this death, creating an anxious mood. We are led into the depths of darkness by monolithic guitar riffs with intervals that carry the nervous vibe of the song. You will be thrilled by tremolo guitar solos and desperate, extreme womb vocals that tell the true story of war without hesitation. Sometimes it feels like the vocalist is coughing up blood, and you can sense the warmth of this blood on your skin...
This is nostalgia for all fans of Old-school Death Metal, evident in every expressive bass part, the frenzy of drums, and the unpredictable progress of the composition, mirroring the unpredictability of life itself. The track feels like a requiem, a prayer in musical form. It will likely become a symbol. It is clear why not only musicians but also poets and public figures joined in its creation.
The future is unpredictable, but one thing is certain: we will eagerly await new tracks from the Bloody Harvest band. We will anticipate the same songs filled with hope, despite the inevitability of death...
For fans of Six Feet Under, Bolt Thrower, Torture Killer, Kataklysm, Illdisposed, Amon Amarth, Hypocrisy, etc.
