About Me
Welcome to the Official BLOODVOID Myspace Page. BloodVoid is a Houston-based, metal act looking to breathe life back into the Texas Metal Scene. BloodVoid was formed in February of 2005 from members of SACRED SOUL. Upon the fruition of the project, Mike Marksberry and Shane Hamrick from Houston’s own HEADDRUG quickly joined to complete the lineup. BloodVoid immediately began gathering a fan base with its brutal double bass and heavy, groove-oriented guitar riffs. Blending styles of Classic Rock, Thrash and Metalcore... BloodVoid's following has grown tremendously with the band selling the most tickets at Texas Metalfest 3 years in a row. Shortly after the 2006 Houston Metalfest... Chris Smith, former frontman of the short-lived, experimental metal project THE GHOST LIMB THERAPY, took over on lead vocals. Long time friend/bassist Pat Sample introduces them to Adam Rabel who joined the band a few months later and BloodVoid was reborn. Blended with the battering riffery of Mike Palacios and Chris McDaniel on guitar, and Mike Marksberry's blistering drumming, both Smith and Rabel fit like a glove. Rabel's brutal bass rhythms with Smith's bipolar screams and melodic prowess, have given rebirth to an already menacing metal ensemble. Members of BloodVoid have shared the stage with national acts such as: DevilDriver, Napalm Death, 36 Crazyfists, Straight Line Stitch, Divine Heresy, Sworn Enemy, Fleshgrind, Skinnless, Obituary, Full Blown Chaos, Alabama Thunderpussy, Hemlock, A Dozen Furies, Brujeria, Candlemass, Daylight Dies and countless unsigned acts from across the US.
