About Me


------------------------------------------------------------ -------------bloodredskies could best be described as the vocal amalgamation of Warrel Dane, Devin Townsend and Rob Halford (Nevermore, Strapping Young Lad & Judas Priest respectively) fronting a musical ensemble comprising members from Amon Amarth, Carcass, Iced Earth, Mastodon, Necrophagist and Nevermore.
The brainchild of ex-Enlightened By Darkness (EBD) front man Hayden Mitton, bloodredskies has a single aim and vision. This is an intense focus on creating Heavy Metal that transcends trends/fashion and finds a point of balance between the brutal and beautiful.
The musical and lyrical concepts are all written and arranged by Mitton, and are the most inspired, emotive and complete pieces he is yet to compose. Ex-EBD members Alex Hunt and Brett Glover join bloodredskies alongside Mitton; thus rounding off the live lineup.bloodredskies is currently working on solidifying a live set and recording the debut album entitled "Naphtali". "Naphtali is tentatively scheduled to be recorded and released in the Mid-Late 2009.
Now....... PREPARE TO DROWN IN BLOOD ------------------------------------------------------------ -------------
