"Well, if your first demo is any indication of what the band's music will be like in the future, I think BLOOD CORPS will knock the metal world right on it's ass."
Blood Corps is a hardrock-metal band located in Northern Virginia, founded in 2006 by guitarist Daniel Lee and vocalist Balvina (Nina) Osegueda. Their sound is often classified as "classic" metal, "Euro" metal, and "melodic" metal. Classifications aside, Blood Corps has proven to have a unique sound, encorporating heavy guitar riffs with gritty female vocals.
