Biography
Hailing from Utrecht, the Netherlands, Bloodgod initially started low profile as a side project in late 2011 featuring former of Warchitect, and Dictated among others.
After several changes in the line-up Bloodgod became a steady three-piece powerhouse, since 2013 featuring the same lineup consisting of Daan Doums (guitars, vocals), Frank van Boven (bass, vocals) and Johnny Derechos (drums).
The band delivers death metal with duo lead vocals. Often with a pinch of thrash, a drop of groove metal and a touch of black, always with melodic riffs and overall musical brutality. That might not be new or unique. But a classic dish that's cooked with skills and love can still make your mouth water, right?
'Pseudologia Phantastica’ (2013)

It was recorded and mixed by Quintijn Verhoef at Studio Independent Recordings (Incarnate, Led Astray, T.C.F., Terzij De Horde, Divine Sins, The Fifth Alliance, etc.) in Utrecht.
