Inception:
Blood & Iron was formed in early 2005 by Ashish and Vivin with the aim of forging a new kind of band, combining the best the various sub-genres of Metal have to offer. After numerous line-up changes, for about a year and a half, the band stabilized – and since then there’s been no looking back.
The band consists of:
Mark Thomas – Vocals
Vivin Kuruvilla – Keyboards
Vikram Bains – Guitars
Ashish Shetty – Guitars
Arun Daniel – Bass
Manu ‘Vlad’ Krishnan – Drums
The Music:
Each member of the band brings a variety of influences which makes the synthesis – the music – of Blood & Iron so unique.
While firmly rooted in Metal, the band effortlessly displays unbridled innovation and virtuosic skill combined with catchiness, raw power and melodic passages. Blood & Iron is accessible to a wide spectrum of listeners without ever sacrificing the integrity required to play this form of music from the heart.
Influenced by such great bands like Iron Maiden, Megadeth, Dream Theater, Hammerfall, Nightwish, Manowar, Primal Fear, Death, Judas Priest, Kreator and more – the band captures the specialties of the various sub-genres of Metal without ever compromising on originality.
This is evident while listening to the songs, as a single song will show multiple characteristics – adding new dimensions to the music.
Blood & Iron carves a new path in the Metal universe and it’s not easily classified under any one genre. It’s just Metal, as pure as it gets without any compromises and without any restrictions.
Blood & Iron released a self-titled demo album in 2007. It received an amazing response in the underground metal scene and has encouraged the band to strive for greater things.
