Bloodgood Detonation (CD)

Description: Further DetailsTitle: DetonationCondition: NewFormat: CDDescription: EDITORIAL REVIEWS "Along with Barren Cross, Stryper, and Resurrection Band, the Seattle-based Bloodgood (formed in 1985) pioneered the sounds of Christian hard rock with a commercial success that bands like Jerusalem and Barnabas had only hinted at achieving. Bloodgood had the look and the sound - dressing in spandex and churning out loud, heavy metal music on the order of Twisted Sister, Ratt, and Quiet Riot. On Detonation, the band takes a heavier, more aggressive approach. This is straightforward traditional heavy metal at it's finest. In addition, Detonation finds Bloodgood coming into it's own as songwriters, delivering some of the most exquisite compositions of it's career, many which remain concert staples to this day. Opening tracks "Battle Of The Flesh," "Vagrant People," and "Self-Destruction" hit hard and fast - almost approaching speed metal territory - but reflect the musical maturity focused bands make between their first and second albums. The semi-ballad "Alone In Suicide," bluesy "Heartbeat (Of The City)" and catchy "Eat The Flesh" might take a more melodic heading but still showcase the trademark crunch characteristic of early Bloodgood. Where Bloodgood puts it all together is the joining of power and emotion that is the theatrical "rock opera" of "Crucified" (as blistering a track as you will find) and "Messiah" (this one almost approaches melodic hard rock territory). The best way to sum up would be to state that Detonation placed #8 in a poll in Heaven's Metal Magazine of the top 100 Christian metal albums of all time. It also placed #15 in another poll of the top 100 Christian metal albums (Christian Metal Realm). It is such respect from critics and fans alike that allows the album to ultimately stand the test of time and be considered Bloodgood's signature release.
