+BIOGRAPHY+
BLOODY SIGN was formed in 1996 with a vision of playing pure unabashed darkened death metal.
They released four demos independently (that included the well received Dionysos contre le Crucifié and Estonian Sessions). After various lineup changes the band finally solidified and dedicated themselves to their sinister cause with a new found vigor. The group signed a deal with IBEX MOON RECORDS and soon released Vana Vigala Loits (2004). Rave reviews followed, as well as several festival
appearances, European tours and a tour of South America. Some of these included shows with such bands as IMMOLATION, INCANTATION, CENTURIAN, BEHEMOTH, IMPALED NAZARENE, KRISIUN…
After a successful tour with label mates ESTUARY in 2006, and the release of Rhythms Of Carnage split (on great ug labels such as Time Before Time recand Deathstrike records), BLOODY SIGN entered the studio to record their second blood-opus, Explosion of Elements, out on IBEX MOON RECin 2007. The result is a raw mixture of crushing death metal and sheer oppressive black metal darkness with twisted harmonies and rhythms.
Then followed by a European tour lined up with VITAL REMAINS.
With the release of the warmly welcomed The Third Escape EP in 2008 on the finest European death metal labelBLOOD HARVEST REC from Sweden and the tour conquest of Eastern Europe the band definitely rooted its name in the extreme music scene.
Musically BLOODY SIGN is beginning to explore more and more the darkness around and inside, sounds gain a lot of shapes through a kind of dark psychedelism which melt strange chords with weird rhythms and patterns, chaotic and/or improvised moments, yet straight old death deep riffing to sharp
and fast aggressions, to convey the listener in its own world made of darkness and blackened lights.
2009 is already a year full of happenings as BLOOD HARVEST REC will release the LP version of Explosion Of Elements. And during spring time, the band will record the third album Chaos Echoes
for a autumn release through IBEX MOON RECORDS (USA), BLOOD HARVEST RECORDS
(EUR)
and maybe more to come…

"The 2nd full length album from these French
Death Metal maniacs. Technical yet raw and
dark death. A culmination of many influences
can be heard on this nine song record and of
those the obvious standouts are the unholy
trinity that is MORBID ANGEL, INCANTATION,
and IMMOLATION, but BLOODY SIGN
has an original touch of their own which
you just need to experience. Definitely
one of the most interesting bands in Europe right now."
