Under The Radar – Blood Lament

Less than 1,000 monthly listeners. More than 1,000 reasons to listen.

How did you come up with your name?

The name comes from my personal love of vampires. If I could be any mythical creature, I would absolutely be a vampire haha. It becomes a double entendre within my music with regards to a vampiric yearning for blood (as Lament refers to a general yearning) in the mythical sense and a yearning for blood in the sense of revenge as that is something I often write about.

Where are you from?

I am based in Sheffield but born and bred in the North East!

What genre would you class your music as?

Metalcore/Emo/Electronicore

For Fans Of?

Bring Me The Horizon, Bad Omens, Poppy

Where can people connect with you?

What is your latest release?

Authority is a personal depiction of my experience in an abusive relationship. Detailing the effects it had on me after the relationship and during.

I reference ‘Adam and Eve’ in relation to how women are often used as a scapegoat within domestic violence and that despite everything I went through, I was still blamed for his actions by his friends and family.

It is ultimately an attempt to regain my own ‘authority’ over myself and letting go of the control he had over me while we were together.

Blood Lament – Authority (All Rights Are Retained By Blood Lament)

What are the other songs you would recommend to new listeners?

Fun upbeat song protesting the way governments cause division between lower classes and keep us out of creative careers.

Blood Lament – VICTIMIZER (All Rights Are Retained By Blood Lament)

My first song, wrote most of it when I was 16. It is about the unfortunate relationship I had with my biological father.

Blood Lament – Father (All Rights Are Retained By Blood Lament)

What is the song you’re most proud of?

Father! I wrote a lot of it when I was very young and the whole situation was very fresh to me. It was the first song I was certain I needed to have recorded and released after years of uncertainty. It was recorded before I even had come up with a stage name for myself and it comes from an extremely vulnerable place.

When can we expect some new music?

Within the next few months! I have two songs written and ready to be recorded as soon as I can get into the studio!

Who would be your dream collaboration?

I would LOVE to collaborate with Jonathan Davis of KoRn, my lyrics are very inspired by his, as a teenager I took so much inspiration from his ability to be vulnerable and describe the nitty gritty of reality, something I’ve taken into my own lyricism.

What is the bands goal for the next 12 months?

As I’m coming on to my third ever gig, it would be incredible to build up my stage presence and release as much music as possible! Confidence and many more tunes are ultimately the goal.

What is your message to new listeners?

If you need a good cry and some brutal relatability, Blood Lament is what you’re looking for.
