    This four-piece power metal band jumps at ya right off the bat with "Disturbing The Children", which they pull off with precision power in concert. With a vocal style similar to Mike Lee of Barren Cross, this band goes after it with solid drumming, bass lines and crunchin' guitar chords. Most metalheads will enjoy this first song immensely. It's about disrupting the order of Satanic and death metal bands with the bright shining Gospel of Jesus Christ.

    "Ephesians", the second song on the tape, maintains the crunch and shows the musical chops of this promising band.

    This demo, which only features two songs, is well worth getting and shares a glimpse of Bloodshed...a band we'll be hearing more from.

    Three-fourths of the band lives in a house together, which regularly becomes a haven for Bible study and evangelism for local lost youth. One night/early morning this May they had the privilege of leading four people to Jesus.
