   About Blood Island Raiders
..
Formed autumn 2002 in London. Seamus and Reverend Al had played together in various bands since 1994. The last of these, Evil Knievel, fell apart but not before heavy hitting Barrow-in-Furness born drummer Klaus Von Liksmeinschaft" (Suthy to his mates) was recruited. South African born singer Warren had moved to the UK originally with the aim of doing something with his then band Blind. It didn't go to plan but then, thanks to a mutual friend, he met the Reverend and thus the Blood Island Raiders were born.

Since debuting in December '02 the band have played with the cream of heavy music, including; Alabama Thunderpussy, Cathedral, Brant Bjork and Nick Oliveiri, Grand Magus, Electric Wizard, High On Fire, Orange Goblin, Dukes of Nothing, GWAR, Bongzilla, Witchcraft, Volition, Mastodon... to name but a few.

To date they have released a self produced EP "For the Sake of Clarity"; A limited edition split 12" with Among The Missing titled "Blessed are the Dead" (only 300 on red vinyl) ; A CD re-issue of "Blessed are the Dead" with extra live tracks from both bands. They also had an exclusive track featured on the cover mounted CD of the Xmas 2005 edition of Terrorizer Magazine (No. 139).

In 2006 the band were approached by Bristol based indie label Invada Records, and they completed their first full length for them, which came out in summer 2007.

In late February 2007 Seamus decided to pursue other avenues, and the Raiders, after much hit and miss, finally found a full time replacement in the shape of Tjay. By all accounts he is the perfect man for the job.

Special Request:

Please do not use the comments section to post your gig info, that is what your page and the bulletin section is for. Gig postings will be removed, but the band will still be your friend... Maybe!

SOUL DESTRUCTION





Jul 2 2009 3:31 PM

Thanks for supporting Soul Destruction.

Described as: 'like Soulfly if Trent Reznor were part of the band,' their debut album "There's No Profit in Truth", album mixes the pent up frustration of acts such as Rage Against The Machine with the raging, highly charged riffs of classic Machine Head. Good, honest, politically aware and highly charged Metal at its best...

Hey - Thanks for the friendship! Music links us all together. There are wars taking place in every country in the world. Some are just more obvious. Check out my new video "Simpler Time". Reach out and make a difference and the ripple will be felt around the world. It has to come from within each of us. The alternative is unacceptable. Music can make a difference. Keep reaching out.
Zebulon Kosted

I am now recording for a new set of releases called the "Persona Series". These cassettes will be commissioned works (not by content, but by payment) for individuals. If John Smith in London, England wants his own Zebulon Kosted album, I will make a 45 minute album (one side of a 90 minute tape), 2 hand drawn mini posters, I will name the album after him (Zebulon Kosted - John Smith), and the fan will retain all rights to the recording (for use of any future release, sampling, or broadcasting rights). One copy of the album will remain in my personal collection, and one will be sent to the customer, so that the only copy that will be in circulation will be John Smiths copy! Each album is available for the ridiculously low price of $10 (not including shipping), and will be shipped in its completed form no later than 6 weeks from the date of purchase!!!
