“The challenge was making new music that was as good or better than what we did all those years ago,” says founding guitarist Adam Tranquilli. “And the reward is bringing the band out to places we never went, seeing everyone enjoying what we do. Also hearing the stories of how Blood Feast influenced people, or got them through a rough time.”
Having seen thrash metal form, grow, fall behind its more extreme peers, and return to metal's forefront, Adam has taken an almost zen approach to making new music that channels Blood Feast's original ethos: make the metal that slays, success be damned.
“It goes without saying that album sales are in the tank,” says Adam. “Also there are so many bands these days. So we just go out, give it our all and be the best we can be. Then let the chips fall as they may.”
If you're excited to hear what the band has to offer, you're in luck: Kerrang! is proud to host an exclusive stream of Blood Feast's Chopped, Sliced, And Diced EP in advance of its release this Friday. Check it out below:
