Bonded by Blood is an American thrash metal band that sprung up from the depths of the thrash resurgence movement in the mid-2000s. Named after Exodus's iconic debut album, they formed in Pomona, California in 2005, signaling from their inception an allegiance to the raw intensity and aggressive riffing characteristic of the 1980s thrash scene. Bonded by Blood's vigorous and unrelenting style is underscored by their fast-paced guitar work and vigorous vocals, themes that have consistently powered the group's sonic identity.

The band's career began to gain momentum with their debut studio album, "Feed the Beast" in 2008, which was positively received within the metal community and saw them lauded for their commitment to thrash authenticity. This was followed by the conceptual "Exiled to Earth" in 2010, set 600 years in the future and pitting humanity against alien oppressors — a narrative that served as a vessel for the band's fierce and technically proficient delivery. "The Aftermath," their third album released in 2012, maintained the group's reputation for in-your-face thrash metal, with increasingly sharp production and matured musicianship. Despite retroactively taking on a somewhat underground status in the pantheon of modern metal, Bonded by Blood's contributions to the thrash revival are undeniably foundation stones of the genre's continued evolution in the 21st century.
