Bloodorn was formed in 2020 during the pandemic. Silent Winter vocalist Mike Livas, Freedom Call bassist Francesco Saverio Ferraro and Sirenia drummer Michael Brush joined the band after hearing the first demos of the album.
Influenced by bands such as Gamma Ray, Angra and Beast in Black, the band also draws on some elements from the extreme metal scene. Bloodorn’s music is very fast and technical, sometimes even brutal, but also very melodic and catchy: extreme power metal!
The name Bloodorn is a play on words from the Viking torture method “Blôdörn” (better known as “Blood Eagle”) and “Blood”. In the band’s universe, the Bloodorn is like a reaper – a monster ready to kill and destroy everything in its path.
Bloodorn is about the fight against oppression, authority and tyranny, but also about dark gothic fantasy, shadow cults, war, inner strength, honour, Norse mythology and even some video game references. All of these concepts are reinforced by Bloodorn’s stateside image and outfits.
Formed by experienced musicians from the power metal scene, Bloodorn is not a side project and is more than ready to take the stage and release the new album.
Bloodorn are:
Nils Courbaron – Guitar
Mike Livas – Vocals
Francesco Saverio Ferraro – Bass
Michael Brush – drums
