Bloodlet: unreleased material due out in January

Official press reease: Following the recent proclamation that defunct metalcore pioneers, Bloodlet, will make a special one-time appearance -- reuniting for the A389 Recordings X Bash in January -- today, the label also proudly confirms two special pending releases from the band in 2014. First up, A389 will release an unreleased Bloodlet demo, recorded in 1994. The track, called "Embrace," was recorded with several other songs prior to the release of the band's debut LP, Entheogen. A track which ran astray from the others recorded in the same sessions -- "Shell" and "Cheribum" appearing on the band's Shell 7", and then re-appeared on their Eclectic singles compilation LP -- Bloodlet's early, completely inventive style of ominous, swamp-born metalcore is relived once again in "Embrace." The lost track was discovered by hardcore webzine XStuckInThePastX and shared the masters with A389 Recordings, who will now release an official 7" version of the track in January 2014. The Embrace 7" will tie directly into band's first performance in over ten years, with their one-time reunion at the A389 X Bash the weekend of January 17th and 18th in Baltimore, Maryland, joining the reunion of Integrity's Systems Overload lineup, All Out War, Infest, Haymaker, Noisem, Full Of Hell, Empire of Rats and tons more. In addition, A389 is also collaborating with Victory Records on a special reissue of Bloodlet's landmark debut LP, Enthogen, which Victory initially released in early 1996. The new edition will be released in a deluxe 2xLP in the coming months pending the completion of the remastering sessions, currently going down at Audiosiege. Bloodlet vocalist Scott Angelacos currently remains busy with his present bands Junior Bruce -- who is working on the follow-up to their The Headless King LP, released in 2012 by A389 -- and Hollow Leg, which just released Abysmal on Last Anthem Records.

Love this band. They left a hole in metal/hardcore that has still yet to be filled.

Powerful stuff! 1992 was also the year my band PALE CREATION released our highly influential demo material. While Mentor, OH was a little ways out from Orlando, FL it's good to know that our influence knew no boundaries. Heils! Nick Fiction

Bloodlet has always sucked. They played in my town so much that people only went to see the opening bands they were playing and then left when bloodlet came on. Now all the sudden people are like "bloodlet are legends". fck that.

Ah yes this happened recently as well when my band PALE CREATION opened for Entombed. Place cleared out like a vacuum! I think a true test would be to have BLOODLET open for my band (PALE CREATION) and see who's left or who shows up late. Heils! Nick Fiction

Great news. Also Pale Creation was so underrated in the scene. Highly influential. Looked in their van once after a local show and saw them all beating each other off.

Washed up piercers from the 90's are stoked.

ed_money 11/22/2013 1:50:40 PM

Bloodlet release! Killer news.

anonymous 11/22/2013 1:51:52 PM

Ah yes the famous van incident. There were actually a few questionable groupies involved. You can read all about it in our discography cd liner notes! Heils! Nick Fiction

anonymous 11/22/2013 4:53:48 PM

ENTHEOGEN, not Enthogen, way to fck up the spelling of an album in your own press release fck

tomdelay 11/22/2013 6:07:33 PM
