Bloodlet is an influential entity in the hardcore punk and metal scene, known for their uncompromising blend of heavy riffs, dark atmospherics, and chaotic energy that has pushed the boundaries of hardcore and metal since their formation in the early 1990s. Based in Florida, Bloodlet emerged amidst a burgeoning hardcore movement, quickly distinguishing themselves with their unique brand of sludgy, dissonant metalcore. Their sound is characterized by complex, heavy guitar work and introspective, often cryptic lyricism, which can be seen in their acclaimed releases.

Bloodlet's impact on the hardcore and metal scenes has been marked by a series of intense and original albums since the mid-90s. "Entheogen," released in 1996, stands as a cornerstone in their discography, presenting a ferocious mix of hardcore-punk ethos and metal's raw power – a duality they have harnessed adeptly throughout their career. "The Seraphim Fall" (1998) and "Three Humid Nights In The Cypress Trees" (2002) continued to fortify their reputation, with the latter being their last full-length before a hiatus. After years of silence, the band made a powerful comeback with "Live on WFMU (03.25.1995)" showcasing a live set that reminded fans of their unrelenting energy. Bloodlet's more recent work includes singles "Viper in Hand," "Stealing Fire," and "Choking on the Peat," which see the band continue to evolve their sound while remaining true to their heavy, dark, and atmospheric roots. Known for the uncompromising intensity of their recordings and live performances, Bloodlet has maintained a revered status among fans of heavy music.
