Bloodrust - New Jersey Devil Core 7"

I've posted a decent amount of Back Ta Basics 7"s in the past. Here's another one, by NJ's Bloodrust. To be honest, I know very little about this band, they seem to have been around for only a few years and I don't think that besides demo's they did anything else besides this 7"? As you can probably imagine from the title of this 7", 'New Jersey Devil Core', Bloodrust played 'evil' metalcore. In sound they are comparable to another NJ band from the late '90s that I blogged about before, As Darkness Falls (here and here), as well as a band like Deadeyesunder. This 7" was released in 1998, and in true Back Ta Basics Records fashion, it has a badly handcut, photocopied cover and comes with a BTB list of releases. Unfortunately there are no lyrics and almost no info on Bloodrust on the insert. Oh well... The 7" is pretty solid tho, it's a shame the band didn't get some more attention while they were around. If anybody has some info on this band, please leave a comment.

Great band. They really won me over because I was a death metal kid being turned on to hardcore at the time so they filled that gap perfectly.

I saw them a bunch of times actually - first time was in a basement with Arcane (pre-Dillinger Escape Plan), Blood Of Judas and a few others. Day Of Suffering were supposed to play but couldn't leave VA because of a hurricane.

Anyhow - they had two demos. One had two songs, the other had four. All the songs were great. They also had a discography called Historia but I don't think it ever got released. When my music blog was up, I put up the demos for download and one of the members ended up sending me the discography.

I could probably put up the demos again if people were interested.
