Our Own Blood . imagine a raging circle pit and the sound of teeth getting kicked in!!
OUR OWN BLOOD was reformed in early 2006, with an abrupt severance from our first vocalist. We were determined to reform, revamp, and dominate what we knew to be in our hearts as the music we loved to play. We went through some rough times and had a couple line up changes but held strong to the hope that we would find the line up we needed to play brutal metal.
Enter christian, after our first vocalist left (Sebastian Phoenix), we put the band on the back burner in late 05. Meeting christian at a gas station that summer proved to be the best thing that has happened to us. We were told by him that he was a vocalist looking to form a metal band, we tried him out and once again we were whole.
Exit Andy: After a long time with the band, one of our founding members left due to personal reasons. So once again after we were whole we were down again. Whats a metal band to do without the sonic blast of double kick behind them??
Enter Isiah: We got a call soon after we placed an ad in the Portland Mercury for the drummer slot that we so desperately needed to fill. Still holding onto that determination to make brutal and beautiful music, he came in, threw down and was given the position.
Exit Doug: After writing a few more songs, we were hit with yet another blow to the face. Our lead guitarist was leaving due to personal issues, what the hell was going on?? Was it a sign? Did we not need to be playing metal?? This was totally fucked!!
So we stayed strong as we always do and pushed forward, writing songs and spending an unbelievable time in the jam room. We starting to get this vibe that everything was just fine now and we could be a band again. Ha!! no such luck, after we were invited to a battle of the bands that we thrashed through and stomped, we find ourselves losing another member, our second drummer.
Stating that we were not going in the direction, he thought he should leave the band. We were totally shocked because after winning the battle we were getting offers for shows left and right. Not to worry though, Andy, our first drummer wanted to come back so we brought him back in the mix and as he learned the songs and we all started to groove again we knew this was the line up that we were looking for. The friendship we were looking for and the vibe we needed to complete our journey was coming to a stage near you, look out america!!! we're coming for you!!!!
