October 24, 2013, 11 years ago
BLOOD EAGLE are the new Copenhagen, Denmark-based death/grind act featuring past and present members of VOLBEAT, MNEMIC, HATESPHERE, RAUNCHY, and ILLDISPOSED.
The band name fits the band's Scandinavian roots and sound rather well. The meaning... the "Blood Eagle" was a method of torture and execution in Nordic mythology, performed by cutting the ribs of the victim by the spine, breaking the ribs so they resembled blood-stained wings, and pulling the lungs out through the wounds in the victim's back.
Blood Eagle lineup:
Michael Olsson - Vocals
Mircea Gabriel Eftemie - Guitars (Mnemic)
Franz Hellboss - Guitars (ex-Volbeat, Illdisposed)
Mikael Ehlert - Bass (ex-Hatesphere)
Morten Toft Hansen - Drums (ex-Hatesphere, Raunchy)
