jhulud Posted October 13, 2020 Share Posted October 13, 2020 Blood From the Soul is the vision of legendary musician Shane Embury, longtime member of extreme pioneers Napalm Death. In the early 90's Embury partnered with Lou Koller (Sick Of It All) to create the Blood From The Soul debut "To Spite the Hand That Breeds" (Earache, 1993). The album was an experimental fusion of industrial, metal, hardcore, and punk. And along with Godflesh, Pitch Shifter, Meathook Seed, and Scorn, they helped spawn a new wave of industrial-metal. Fast forward to 2020 and Blood From the Soul has awakened from hyper-sleep. Joining Embury on this new creative journey are now Dirk Verbeuren (Megadeth, Soilwork, Aborted, Tronos), Jacob Bannon (Converge, Wear Your Wounds, Umbra Vitae), and Jesper Liveröd (Nasum, Burst). "DSM-5" is a twelve song conceptual album from Blood From the Soul. Lyrically the album is written from the perspectives of human beings as well as sentient machines. Metaphorically it explores the relationship between consciousness and physical/psychological deterioration amid a multitude of stresses. Reading as both dystopian science fiction as well as poignant editorial on the turbulent present and our uncertain future. Verbeuren's razor-sharp percussion propels the musical vessel as Embury and Liveröd's walls of strings and ambience infectiously build with imposing power. Vocally the material is vicious as they come with Bannon at the helm. Engineer Russ Russell (Napalm Death, At The Gates, The Haunted) also created soundscapes for the epic slo-burn closer "DSM-5", while John Cooke and Tom Dring (Venomous Concept, Corrupt Moral Altar) contributed additional ominous noise to this final transmission.

roadmonkey Posted November 13, 2020 Share Posted November 13, 2020 (edited) /100 DW for me. I'm fine with it. BTW, discogs has a few copies of the old album with Lou from Sick Of It All, I'm sure Live they won't play any of the songs, but they are still rad! https://www.discogs.com/Blood-From-The-Soul-To-Spite-The-Gland-That-Breeds/release/1976606 Edited November 13, 2020 by roadmonkey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jhulud Posted November 13, 2020 Author Share Posted November 13, 2020 Yeah. I ended up grabbing one from Jake’s site after all. After missing out on all /100 of the Umbra Vitae, I didn’t want to chance it with BFTS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jbannon Posted November 18, 2020 Share Posted November 18, 2020 First Press is just about gone. There are a few copies left in each the DW and JB stores. A few notes: We've had test presses for months, so we hope manufacturing will go faster than the estimated lead time. The packaging is a deluxe quad gatefold, similar to "You Fail Me: Redux" however on a heavier High gloss stock. Thanks everyone. -J.

jhulud Posted November 18, 2020 Author Share Posted November 18, 2020 Given how quick the Umbra Vitae /100's sold out...I'm surprised that BFTS has not yet. It's such an excellent record. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
