Blood Command have two objectives: fill the listener to the brim with their own, strange energy and mix everything they feel like mixing in the genre pot. The Norwegian formation revolves around post-hardcore with a rock twist, but they toss a bit of metal, electro and even some sounds taken straight out of the pop treasury into the mix. You’ll never be bored.
History:
Blood Command emerged in 2010. The started with the EP “Ghostclocks”, which earned the band a place on the vast European punk scene. Their subsequent releases, “Hand Us the Alpha Male and Cult Drugs”, further cemented their position both in their native Norway and on the entire old continent. With each new piece of material, the group was searching for new sides of their identity, exploring and bending the frames of post-hardcore. They reached the culmination point of their search with Funeral Beach and “Return of the Arsonist”, which ensured the group would get lots of new listeners, often coming from the broadly understood alternative scene. Ever since they’ve been a point of interest not only of the underground, punk-adjacent warriors, but also of listeners from all sides of the musical landscape. Blood Command’s newest album is the 2023 “In Arms We Trust”, which made them grow even more popular. Thanks to their concerts, which are full of energy, the group became one of the top members of the Norwegian alternative scene, still surprising the listeners with their fresh approach to post-hardcore and adjacent genres.
