Avenger of Blood is an extremely aggressive thrash metal band, which was started in 2003 by Eric Greaney and Shannon Frye. The two had a single vision and goal: to forge a sound in the vein of Germanic thrash and adding a modern aggressive edge to it. In August of 2003, with bassist Cesar Hernandez, the onslaught began when Avenger of Blood went into the studio to record their 3- song "Demo 2003". Upon its release the CD received great reviews.
Shortly after, Avenger of Blood moved operations from San Jose, California to Las Vegas, Nevada to better suit the band personally and professionally. There the band found a strong following of fans, and with the addition of Nathan Fichter on lead/rhythm guitars and Shawn Loureiro on bass, the onslaught continued as the band went on to play the 1st installment of Minneapolis Mayhem and various other shows proving to new fans that Avenger of Blood was the real thing.
In March 2005, the debut album "Complete Annihilation" was released and received excellent reviews worldwide. Following the release of the album, Avenger of Blood played Northwest Death fest, Minneapolis Mayhem 2, Millennium Music Conference 8, Bay Area Metal fest, and Monsters of Metal, Continuing to show fans that Avenger was one of the best Thrash bands around. In August 2005, Marc Flores took over as lead guitarist and newest member after Nathan decided to part from the band.
After returning from the Bay Area, the band went back to Minneapolis to perform at Minneapolis Mayhem 3 and Avenger of Blood went on to record two new songs for the "Speed Kills...Again" compilation CD, which was released on Heavy Artillery Records in May 2007. This recording showed progression and maturity, giving a preview of the things that were to come. Avenger of Blood was asked to sign to Heavy Artillery Records and recorded their second full-length release at Sound Vision Production Studios, the new recording "Death Brigade", was released worldwide on CD and Vinyl in January 2008.
Early in 2008, a line-up change occurred to solidify the Avenger of Blood sound, Sal Lalli formerly of Postmortom, took over Lead Vocals and guitars while Chris Rodrig formerly of the band Ablivion, would now resume Bass and vocal duties. This new line is sure to continue the tradition of playing thrash the Avenger of Blood way, hard, heavy and with no Mercy.
Here are some reviews...
"Complete Annihilation" is promise of what's to come for the band and the style of music they play, it's a testament to thrash, and the very proof that it's alive and thriving.

Thrash bands with the groovy riffs of the present perfectly. This album only contains killers-no fillers at all!!! Old hands will know what to expect reading song titles like "Bound By Torment", "Violent Epiphany" or "Forced To Kill" without having heard one single note.

In outfit, the guys resemble the legendary "Possessed" and musicaly they're running completely on the good-ol' Kreator-rails. "Complete anihilation" is old school as fuck and this is, of course, very nice, at least from my point of view.

Holy god damn mother of fuck this disc kicks ass. My skull has been taken by the gauntlets of steel and thoroughly bashed against the almighty gates of thrashy goodness.

DREAMSCAPE (progressive metal from germany) (new cd november 2009! - buy or let die!)
