The story begins in the year 1994.
Japi & Alain join forces and with the help of Laurent & Max, the band was born.
Soon, a new guitarist joins the band, that's Vincent. Max is replaced by Jeremy. The band records a promo tape with a small 4-track recorder. 1995 is the year of its release.
Shortly after, a new bassist joins the band to replace Laurent. His name is xVincentx. After many tries to replace Jeremy, a new drummer joins the band. His name is Per and he comes from Sweden. With this line-up, the story really begins. The first official demo tape comes out in early 1996 and it's a huge success. Over 1300 copies are sold all over the world. After having played many shows including a small tour in France, the band releases its first album 'Strive to survive' (1997) that confirms their status of leading hardcore band in the Brussels area. Their influences are numerous (Sick of it all, Madball, Inhuman, Crown of Thornz but also 25 Ta Life, Neglect or Next Step Up). However, OUT FOR BLOOD has developped a style of its own which is greatly appreciated by both Belgian and European kids. The demo 96 songs are re-released on a Swiss label called Division Records. It comes out as a vinyl 7" on red wax which has become a collector item. It features one extra song which is a live recording of the song 'Alone & Hated' recorded at the Dour Festival in 1996. The band plays shows in England, Germany, Holland & Switzerland. Highlights are their participation at both Dour festivals (1996 and 1997) and at the Eurocore Fest. They've played with bands such as 25 Ta Life, Snapcase, No Redeeming Social Value, Agnostic Front, Indecision, the Ryker's, Stormcore and many other Euro & US bands.
In 1997 Per leaves the band and is replaced by Christian (ex-Catalepsy)
More shows are played, new songs are written (Too Late, Both sides of the ditch) but they'll never be recorded. After a short tour that leads them to Switzerland, the band decides to parted ways. The decision is taken in early 1998.
After a couple of months the band reforms but with 3 new members. Alexis (ex-Neverending) is on guitar and replaces Vincent. Ives takes place behind the drumset and Fred (ex-Hateful District member, better known as 'Speechless Fred' at that time) takes the bass duty. Then starts the second period of the band. New songs are written, leaving the old-school influences aside, the new musical direction is influenced by bands that play heavy metalcore such as Hatebreed or Merauder. In the Summer of 1999 OUT FOR BLOOD goes on tour thru France and Spain. This will be their only real tour, 15 days of shows, travel and fun that will remain for all of them a great souvenir. In 2000, the band decides to go back to studio in order to record their new songs and release the second album. The whole job is done, all songs are recorded, the promotion campaign starts but on the last minute, decision is taken not to release the record. The reason why this hard decision was taken is that the final result didn't please some band members. A huge deception followed and lead to the departure of Ives & Japi, the only founding member that remained with Alain. After a few unsuccessful tries to find a new guitarist & drummer, the band broke up for good in the Summer of 2000.
OUT FOR BLOOD is probably one of the only bands that had the opportunity to play 3 (!!!) shows in a day.
The first one was in the morning in Brussels, an open air show that was set up on the occasion of the yearly Brussels City celebration which is called 'Fête de l'Iris'. Headliner of the day was Belgian crooner-singer Salvatore Adamo !!!
Then the band took the road to play in Rixensart around 2 pm. Finally OUT FOR BLOOD had agreed on the last minute to replace DEVIATE that wasn't able to play on that day at the Riverside festival in the Liège area. This crazy day is one of the best souvenirs of the band.
What have they become today ?
Most OFB members are still playing music today.
Alain sings in an old-school band called LAWSTREET 16. Fred is also in that band and he plays guitar (www.myspace.com/lawstreet16)
Vincent & Christian have played in Length of Time. They left the band and play now in a stoner rock band called BE DELICIOUS (www.myspace.com/bedeliciousmusic)
xVincentx has played in ARKANGEL and he's currently in a band called ZACCHARIA
Per jams with Vincent in a band that has no name as of yet. I've been told they play experimental music.
Japi has totally disappeared. Nobody knows what he's become…

alanson You are gonna love this one, get this, Matty has been banging all the hottest girls at for the past three months now and
nobody has figured out how he has been pulling it off except for me, I got all the proof I needed last week when he slipped up.
I was at his batchelor and he was in the garage so I was snooping around his room and sure enough under his bed I found a book on how to
pick up women and like six bottles of these peniz tabs from EKNON.COM
So I told him I knew his secret about why he has been so popular with all the girlies now and sure enough he told me, to please not
tell anyone about the wang medz because if other guys found out that they would mess his game up. Get this, they made his thing grow
quite a few inches and it is still growing today, thicker longer all for the ladies, also he told me the book did nothing for him
haha but those crazy enlarger tabs worked like nothing he had ever seen in his entire life.
Well I looked into these tabs myself by going to the site he gets them from at EKNON.COM just copy and paste the address into your
internet browser and see them for yourself. Best thing of all is, the place guarentees you that it will work on any guy or you get
every penny you paid back including the shipping, so there is no way to lose here, go now to EKNON.COM

DO you know whats on most girl's minds but they won't tell you or will they.
I am telling you this because it is the honest truth, look I should know, they say that it is all in the way you use it, not how big it is, well I got news for you all, that is pure lies.
I know from personal experience, I will tell you about a secret that frasco has made me promise to never ever tell anyone, but since he has not called me in three weeks after standing me up, I am going to break the promise and tell you how he went from having a tiny wang and in 4 months he is now about nine inches and get this, it is still getting bigger. He has been secretly taking grow pills from this site, copy and paste the address into your browser to see them. BASORP.COM
I found out when I was at his house, three fridays ago, we were getting ready to go to the mall, so while he was in the shower, I went in his room, sneeked under his bed and found a box with pill bottles in it, there was like 9 full bottles and 4 empty ones, all ordered from BASORP.COM I was laughing at first but then when he came in the room and caught me looking at them, he freaked out and made me sware to not ever tell anyone about them, especially girls from school or work that he has been dating for the past while, now that I think of it, he has been rather busy with all the popular girls around here, when just last year he was the shyest when it came to girls.
I just never put two and two together until he explained it all to me, I did see his prick and yes, it is huge, pronostar huge, the thickest and longest one I ever seen.
I know this sounds really shallow, but I am considering ordering 6 bottles from the website at BASORP.COM for you know who.. he does not have a myspace account, so he is not gonna see this. They guarentee that the pills will work on any man, or they give you your money back, living proof that they do work on any guy, seeing is believing. BASORP.COM
Q56917844
Ok so now is the time, better now then never to tell you the truth about what all girls have on their mind and how they lie when they say that size does not matter. Take it from me, I am living proof that can confirm for you that the size and thickness of your prick does mean so much to all girls and if you can not satisfy a girl like the guys with big meatpoles do, then they will find a guy who can.
My bro Sammy heard about these enlarge pills on myspace a few months back and he ordered like nine bottles of the stuff, I know cause I found them stashed under his bed and he caught me snooping then told me all about his secret and that they made him grow almost 3 inches in two months and it got real thick too. He got them from this site just copy and paste it in your browser. EDANC.COM
Best of all, the pills do work, Sam is living proof and I have no reason to lie for him, all the girls surround him now like he is some celeb, and he says its all cause of these little goodies from EDANC.COM
Oh ya, just so you know, they guarentee that the pills work on any man or you get whatever you paid right back, so instead of thinking about doing it, just go to EDANC.COM now and show the ladies what you are made of.

hey Alain
I went to Bilbao in Jule and I was to a record store and check what I bought:
It is AMAZING! thanks for the great job you did years ago
take care
I listened the song when Fatch posted a link about this band in a bulletin and it sounded great...and after listen the cd I think you fucking rule!
So if you know someone interested in sell your cd I want to buy it and have it original so let them know I am interested to get it :D
Thanks for the great music!
salut cava? desole c un peu tard pour le remercimen pour ladd .
sa le fait detre dans vos 8 favori c cool .
et au passage un grand merci pour votre son qui nous fait kiffe le hardcore a bientot sur Paris jespere...slt
salut les mecs! et ben comme les autres... beaucoup de souvenirs... a l'epoque glorieuse de tarbes. on avait meme joue avec vous lors de votre 2eme passage avec RACIAL ABUSE et SEEKERS OF THE TRUTH. impossible de vous oublier... STRIVE TO SURVIVE!
Excellente idée de mettre OFB sur myspace.
C'est clairement le groupe qui m'a mis une fameuse claque en Europe et m'a donné envie de m'investir d'avantage ("get involved") ... le style de groupe qui manque cruellement aujourd'hui. Je n'oublierai jamais Dour 97' et la released party avec NRSV au M4 ... la folie.
même si celà semble irréalisable .. on veut quand même une petite reformation et au M4 svp au cours d'une "sunday matinee" comme à la bonne époque.
