U.S. Death Metallers BLOODSOAKED have launched a campaign to raise funds for their fourth full-length album, "Religious Apocalypse" (to be released later this year via Comatose Music) at this location. The band’s main man Peter Hasselbrack issued the following official statement: "We took less money from our record label this time around so we could secure the digital rights to BLOODSOAKED’s music and give back to the fans. With our new deal with Comatose Music we now have the rights to give away all BLOODSOAKED’s music absolutely free via the BLOODSOAKED web site. What does this mean to you…? Well, six months after the new BLOODSOAKED album is released we will be releasing every BLOODSOAKED album free to everyone and anyone. We are doing this to give back to all the fans that have supported and continue to support BLOODSOAKED." BLOODSOAKED’s "The Death Of Hope" (from 2011) and "Sadistic Greed… Grotesque Memories" (from 2009) are streaming in their entirety at www.bloodsoaked.stereokiller.com.
