FUELBLOODED (NL)

Dutch 'Fuelblooded' combines power-thrash with melodic death metal to create a new and brutal monster for the metal community to fear. After their debut album 'Inflict the Inevitable' and extensive touring in Holland and abroad, the band is intensively working on the follow-up, planned for release in the second half of 2008.

Risen from the ashes of Sacramental Sachem, Fuelblooded bring their unique brand of melodic death-/thrash metal to the masses since early 2002. Fuelblooded equals variety. Fast versus slow, melodic versus brutal, catchy versus complex, epic versus in-your-face - all these dichotomies have their place in Fuelblooded's music. Add abundant variation in vocal styles for a complete picture. Combined, this makes for the very distinctive and intense kind of music Fuelblooded plays.

Their debut album, 'Inflict the Inevitable', was recorded in different phases over the course of 2004. In December of 2004, after the recordings were completed, the band headed off to Denmark, where mixing and mastering duties were fulfilled by Jacob Hansen (Mercenary, Invocator, Raunchy, Communic). The album was released worldwide by Copro Records on March 20, 2006. Comparing to the previous demo and promo releases, on 'Inflict The Inevitable', the band take their sound to a new level.

Better songs, combined with a lethal production, make 'Inflict the Inevitable' a must-have for all melodic death-/thrash fans. From the fullspeed thrash assault of album opener 'Art of life' and 'Constructive Destruction', via the melodic midtempo crusher 'Measure Swords', to the slow and pounding sound of 'Dissector of Souls': the whole range of sounds is displayed on Fuelblooded’s first full-length album. Strategically placed in the middle of the album is the atmospheric title track 'Inflict the Inevitable', which serves as a perfect interlude to 'Hate of a Thousand Ages' and the rest of the album. Prepare yourself for one hell of a ride!

Fuelblooded's bassplayer Michel Steenbekkers recently signed an endorsement deal with Mayones basses. The heavy-gauge axe for Michel is our Victorius 4 combines the standard features of our Custom Bass series (Ash body, Bartolini pickups, Aguilar electronics and Schaller accessories) with custom options of his choice: bone-crushing Wenge-Padouk neck with Ebony fretboard, Flamed Maple top in Transparent Black colour in matt finish and jewelled with a custom inscription in the truss rod cover and QParts 3D Cross knobs.

Here are some Michel's thoughts on his brand new Victorious-4 custom made bass: "Since the first time I tried my new bass on stage I've been very excited about the way it sounds and plays. It's very dynamic: the sound stays fat and tight, even when played lightly, during softer, acoustic parts. The Wenge/Paduk neck has perfect grip and form. None of the other basses I've played is so crushing as my new Mayones! This will certainly make the bass sound on the new CD heavy as f*ck!!"

Fuelblooded is intensively working on the second full-length album titled "Off the Face of the Earth". Below you have an example of recently recorded bass lines. Starring: Michiel Steenbekkers and Mayones Victorius-4!
