BURBANK, CA (Warner Bros. Records) - bloodsimple spawned from the ashes of the acclaimed metalcore outfit Visions Of Disorder, straight from the NYHC scene. Even though very little remains from the NYHC scene, bloodsimple represents the maturity of the music that persisted beyond the '90s. While VOD was in your face in the early years, bloodsimple retains that honesty, but with better song structure, more mature lyrics and just a better, more seasoned album, "A Cruel World."
After opening slots for Static-X, Soulfly and Life Of Agony, bloodsimple are set to embark upon two of the most prestigious upcoming metal tours in the UK, with rising stars Trivium and underground kings Mastodon, before returning to the states as direct support to Disturbed on the second leg of the Jägermeister Music Tour.
For every new influx of musical events, there are originators, groundbreakers, and creators that set things in motion - check out a band that is winning over critics and fans on both shores.

"Openers bloodsimple damn near steal the night with a bruising, blistering set of angst-thyms...keep 'em peeled for these loons."
