SEEMLESS, Ex-KILGORE Members Join Forces In BLOODWITCH

July 19, 2008

BLOODWITCH, the Boston/Providence-based band featuring current members of SEEMLESS and former members of KILGORE, has posted two tracks from its March 2008 demo — "Slaughter of the Innocent" and "Vengeance will be Ours" — on the group's MySpace page.

According to the band's official bio, "BLOODWITCH was formed in 2007 by SEEMLESS guitarists Pete Cortese and Jeff Fultz. Pete had begun writing songs for their anticipated third album and found that many of the tunes just didn't fit right for SEEMLESS. What had emerged was a combination of influences from the golden age of British heavy metal, the early style of Bay Area thrash metal, the boogie of AC/DC and ZZ TOP, with the dual guitar harmonies of THIN LIZZY. With the quality of songwriting, Cortese was able to enlist ex-KILGORE vocalist Jay Berndt and ex-KILGORE drummer Bill Southerland into the fold. Rounding out the five-piece is producer and keyboard player for Worcester metal band FROZEN, Pete Rutcho on bass guitar."

BLOODWITCH music focuses on Berndt's lyrical interpretation of a war-hungry society and the band's modern delivery of classic metal.

The band will be record a full-length album this year and perform live in the New England area, beginning with select dates on the OVERCAST reunion tour.

BLOODWITCH is:

Jay Berndt (ex-KILGORE) - Vocals
Pete Cortese (SEEMLESS) - Guitar
Jeff Fultz (SEEMLESS) - Guitar
Pete Rutcho (FROZEN) - Bass
Bill Southerland (ex-KILGORE) - Drums
