Bloodstream Parade is a new dynamic metal band. Their sound comes from several influences ranging from the early rock/metal bands to the latest underground metal bands. BSP has experience along with business education. They speak loud and carry the big stick. Shawn and Wolf lead this machine. Shawn sits behind the set and and hammers the tempo. Wolf rips the bass with power and carries the bassist personality. These two rockers know metal and understand business management. BSP added their guitars who both have unique talents. Ryan is very methodical with the talent to integrate strong lyrics to the music they play. Tim is the free spirit who rocks out. His personality is the same both on and off the stage. This allows him to play open and rock hard. The final piece of the puzzle came when Tony joined to blast the sound waves with his vocal demand. Tony is very comfortable leading the band on stage. His vocal range and interaction with the crowd prove to be a valuable mesh with the rest of BSP. This band has experience, knowledge and hunger to grow to the metal giants they strive for. After the birth of their first album: -------------------- "The Apocalypse: in Retrospect"--------------------- BSP will overpower the underground metal scene and produce many incredible albums for years to come.
