Bloodstain is a Swedish thrash metal band formed in late 2023.[1][2]
History
Bloodstain was founded in fall of 2023 by four classmates at Rytmus music high school in Stockholm, who formed the band to compete in the local music competition Lidingö Rock.[2][3] The band came second at the competition, and received the award for best guitarist.[2][4]
In March 2024, Bloodstain released their debut EP I Am Death.[1] The EP has been praised by critics,[5][6][7] and set the stage for future releases.[8] This first release also lead to the band's appearance on The Rising Four, a Swedish Metal tour with Eradicated, Eternal Evil, Sarcator and Bloodstain.[9] Shortly after this, they signed a management and production deal with Threeman Recordings.[2][4]
Bloodstain toured Sweden together with Dark Tranquility and Múr, and has appeared at festivals such as Downtown Riot and Sweden Rock.[10][11][12] The band is due to release their debut album on the Swedish record label Threeman Recordings and by extension on Candlelight Records[13] in 2026.[10] Alongside performing various gigs around Sweden, Bloodstain are set to play at Hellfest 2026[14] and Time to Rock 2026.[15]
Right before their tour with Dark Tranquility and Múr, Linus Lindin left Bloodstain for unspecified personal reasons, Oskar Lindroos taking over his vocals and the new band member Tobias Lindström taking over his guitar duties.[10]
