The story of POISON MY BLOOD starts a few years ago, when some youngsters decided to convert their frustrations into music. The guys all hailed from the town of Landen (Belgium), the hometown of Circle, one of the biggest bands of that period. Of course this was a major influence for the band, even though you can’t really hear that by listening to their music.
At first, it was more of a leisure project, because there weren’t any actual members, apart from Stijn Borgers (guitar) and Oskar Declippel (singer). That’s why the future of the (at that time still nameless) band was quite uncertain from time to time. But as time went by, the group found a concept, and with that a name. In the meantime, they found a fulltime drummer: Arne Van Den Broeck. They even recorded a demo, but after that it became quiet around the band. Until may 2006.
That’s when POISON MY BLOOD made some serious decisions. Oskar – who left the band in the meanwhile – came back and was now in charge of the bass, Wouter L’Homme took over the microphone and Frederik De Roeck was enrolled as second guitar player. Fre left the band after a year because of personal reasons but Koen Delanghe jumped in right away and became part of the PMB-family. After doing a lot of thinking and rehearsing, they decided to take a musical u-turn: their older work – quite typical hardcore – was degraded as boring, and so Poison My Blood decided to play metalcore, influenced by bands such as Unearth, A Dozen Furies, Machinehead, As I Lay Dying, etc. They wanted to create something that had the emotion of hardcore and the technical guitars of metal. In other words: heavy, ferocious metalcore with frail and melodical structures. With these changes, the band got more positive comments and shows, being an extra stimulus for the quintet to rock like hell.
So far the band with its current line-up had the pleasure of
- doing a 4 day tour in Belgium with Maintain (ger)
- doing a 3 day tour in Belgium with Lost Found Broken (uk) & The River Card (uk)
- playing with the following amazing bands: Machinemade God (ger), Maintain (ger), PenknifeLovelife (uk), Lost Found Broken (uk), The River Card (uk) And Their Eyes Were Bloodshot (uk), Break The Sky (uk), The Chariot (us), Architects (uk), Flood of Red (uk), The Architect (nl), The Setup, Sparkle of Hope, Officer Jones AHPCP, Morda and many more!
