About BLOOD: Initially formed in 2002 as a visual kei band, BLOOD became one of the most recognized Japanese goth bands around the world mid-way through the last decade. The band officially disbanded in early 2009, but after 3 years, has been resurrected with a brand new line-up and direction. Now entering their 4th incarnation, the band has set out to meld their visual origins with the goth/industrial styling that came to define them later in their career. On June 15th, the band released their comeback single "Bathory" as well as their first true promotional video in support of the single.
