Bloodshot Dawn




First formed in 2003, Bloodshot Dawn have evolved from a straight forward, groove orientated death metal band into an unrelenting, hyper speed, extreme-metal machine. Hailed by Terrorizer as a band that delivers “blistering live shows”, Bloodshot Dawn have become a household name in the UK underground.

After a number of line up changes and endless practice honing their sound, current members Anderson and McMorran recorded and released their first effort in the form of “Coalition Of Terror”, a two track EP that received positive feedback both critically and around their local metal scene. Driven by this success, Anderson and McMorran sought out other musicians for a full time line up that could add to their brutal live shows and match the technical precision on the EP. This lead them to bassist Anthony Ridout who joined the band just after the release. Following this the band then set about playing across the UK in support of the EP, and went on to win the 2009 “Metal To The Masses” competition, playing at Bloodstock Open Air Festival with the likes of influential bands such as Carcass, Arch Enemy and Kreator. The band now looked to record more material, recruiting Benjamin Ellis on lead guitar to complete the current line up in late 2009. Following a string of gigs in the UK, Bloodshot Dawn set about recording their follow up to “Coalition Of Terror” in 2010. This came in the form of their “Slaves To The Lie” EP, released in February 2011. This EP was self financed and made available worldwide via all major distribution websites. Bloodshot Dawn self promoted this release with a number of UK dates including gigs with Cerebral Bore, Desecration, Dead Beyond Buried, General Surgery, Vader & Krisiun UK Tour dates, as well as underground tours across the UK, which were all nationally advertised and self managed via Chaotic Tapestry Management.

In September 2011, Bloodshot Dawn entered the studio again, this time at 16th Cellar Studios in Rome (Fleshgod Apocalypse, Hour Of Penance, Inherit Disease), to record their debut full-length release. The self-titled album has seen Bloodshot Dawn's writing style mature noticeably, becoming more intense while also increasingly melodic and accessible. This unique writing sensibility, coupled with fierce production from Stefano Morabito, has resulted in an album that will cement Bloodshot Dawn's status as one of the UK's fiercest Metal bands.

The album was finished in December 2011 and is set for a limited release on 26th January 2012. Bloodshot Dawn now seek record label and booking support to promote the album.

    HOT GRAVES - KNIGHTS IN WHITE PHOSPHORUS CD
    NHR Records is pleased to announce the release of plastic blasphemy "Knights In White Phosphorus" by the almighty Hot Graves of Florida. With an utterly brutal malgamation of Hellhammer-smashed grimness, d-beaten thrash-crustiness, blackened croaks of the highest order, and a punk-as-fuck attitude - what's not to worship? As the band themselves procl.. "IS YOU READY?"

    "Formed in Gainesville, FL in late 2007, HOT GRAVES came together to create a metal/punk hybrid that takes the best elements of filthy crust punk, d-beat madness, breakneck thrash, blackest ov black metal, down-tuned doom, and creeping death metal, and grinds them down towards hell. What started as a side band (for members of By The Horns, Secrets She Kept and Thee Kvlt ov Ouroboros) took on new life as interest in the band grew exponentially, catching the attention of Darkthrone’s Fenriz, who lauded HOT GRAVES in his Band of the Week blog. The band has also earned praise from influential  publications like Terrorizer, Brooklyn Vegan, and more, and it’s no wonder why. Their ravenous, bloodthirsty rituals upon the altars of Celtic Frost, Venom, Midnight, and Amebix are nothing short of merciless -  as catchy as the plague, and as inescapable as an oncoming barbarian horde."

    Mastered by: James Murphy (Daath, Aborted, Abigail Williams, Skinlab, Arckanum)
