Texas metal band Born in Blood are excited to release their first single, “Misery.” This blend of chaos and groove is the perfect introduction into the sound Born in Blood executes in their music. The song focuses on someone enduring misery so powerful it’s devastating and invigorating. It can fuel your desire to overcome and can break you down to feel like nothing. Which will you choose?
Vocalist Talmage Crumholt IV says “‘Misery’ is a punishing track that encompasses what to expect from this band. It’s the first song you hear in our set to get yourself ready for what’s to come and it holds no punches. Right off the bat you get a flurry of chaos into a fast paced groove. It’s one of our earliest songs but still stands strong with all of our newer material. The music continually builds upon itself as the song progresses, kind of like anxiety building to a simulate someone enduring the worst parts but still moving forward. Misery loves company and the story shows how it can turn people into monsters.”
Born in Blood is a brutal amalgam of dissonance and melody. The band performs fast and heavy music filled with intricate guitar riffs, punchy bass lines, and driving double bass. Born in Blood are a 4-piece American Metal band from Fort Worth, Texas. Stephen Bonilla, Drummer, and Anthony Rendon, Guitarist, met at a warehouse and quickly bonded over their love of music. The two decided to meet at a jam space and work on some music for fun. That night they wrote two full songs and immediately noticed the musical chemistry. Talmage Crumholt IV, Vocalist, was brought in by Stephen, since they were in a band together, and added lyrics to the songs the same night. The three formed a band and started the search for a bass player. After working with a few bass players, the three brought Royce Vick, Bassist, to come join. With the band at its strongest, Born in Blood began working on making a name for themselves by donning blood and putting on energetic shows best described as “controlled chaos”. Born in Blood has worked with iLL Nino, King 810, Incite, and have opened for multiple touring bands including Soulfly, Sepultura, Mushroomhead, Terror Universal, and more.
