Bonded By Blood - To Enter The Studio
Earache Records press release
California's Bonded By Blood are due to enter the studio this weekend to begin recording their as-yet untitled new album.

Olympus Studios in Los Angeles. It will be the band's first album to feature vocalist Mauro Gonzalez and bassist Jessie Sanchez.
"We can't wait for everybody to hear what the new album has in store. It's definitely more diverse and we all had a blast writing it," states guitarist Juan Juarez. "It'll be the first record with Mauro and Jessie, who have been great additions to the line-up, and the four of us really connected well during the writing and rehearsing of this album. The playing on this album will be top-notch. We're glad to be recording in Los Angeles, and excited to work with Logan. We can't wait to get started and we hope everybody enjoys it as much as we do - watch for video updates from the studio! Yeah!"

Bonded By Blood - Involved In Van Accident, Shows Cancelled
US thrashers Bonded By Blood were involved in a weather-caused van accident last weekend. On the icy highway to Trenton, NJ their van slipped and trailer flipped over. Thankfully nobody got hurt, though their trailer was damaged beyond immediate repair.
Bassist Jerry Garcia, who was driving the van, tells the story: "As I was driving down the road the weather kept getting worse and worse. It was very difficult to see outside of our windows and the road was becoming one big sheet of ice. I was going about 40-45 mph about two hours from the venue, listening to the song "Chase The Wind" by our friends band Holy Grail on my headphones, when suddenly I realized that our trailer was on a massive hydroplane completely adjacent to us. I laid off the gas and as soon as I did the trailer pulled the van and caused me to loose complete control. All I could say was "OH FUUUUCK!" I managed to narrowly miss the center divider and a few cars before we skid completely across the highway and almost hit the wall on the other side."
Kids, at this point I think we've all learned a valuable lesson here, do not listen to Holy fucking Grail while driving in the snow. (ed.)
Anyway, the story continues: "I'm not superstitious but it's kind of ironic that Mauro was listening to "Dying Season" by Heathen and the exit off the highway we took after all was said and done was named Moosic."
"We will probably have to miss a few gigs until we can get back on our feet again and get some form of transportation for our gear. Our trailer is fucked beyond immediate repair. We will have to leave it behind and find something else to haul our stuff in. I just hope that our gear is fine and nothing was destroyed. I apologize to anyone that came to see us tonight or will come to see us tomorrow but our safety comes first. We have to get everything fixed and safe before we can go anywhere in this weather. We are extremely bummed that we will have to miss some gigs, this is DEFINITELY NOT OUR STYLE (to miss shows and disappoint our fans) but sometimes things get out of hand."
Bonded By Blood still have a huge tour schedule ahead of them, so you'll have plenty of other chances to see them. For the full story and all tour dates, click here.

Bonded By Blood - Announce Permanent Vocalist
In autumn 2010, vocalist Mauro Gonzalez stepped in at the last minute to front Pomona, CA thrash act Bonded By Blood through a long stretch of touring that only convened towards the end of the year. Because of the tremendous job he did in fronting the band on short notice with little rehearsal through a seemingly never-ending schedule of dates, Bonded By Blood is proud to announce Mauro Gonzalez as a permanent member.
Bonded By Blood bassist Jerry Garcia states: "We would like to formally announce that Mauro Gonzalez is now officially the new frontman for Bonded By Blood. He has shown great promise and dedication in the past few months and we have received great reviews from many old fans, new fans, and well-established musicians throughout our recent North American trek. We are very excited about our decision and we hope that you guys welcome him into the BBB family like we have! See you guys on the killing road real soon."
Officially inducted frontman, Mauro Gonzalez and the rest of Bonded By Blood will tear up the road once again on the North American Retribution Tour, which took off yesterday, with Death Angel and Lazarus A.D.

Bonded By Blood - Working On New Material
US metallers Bonded By Blood have issued the following update on their MySpace blog:
"Well where to start. We had a great run this year with the tours in support for Feed The Beast we did a west coast tour a full USA tour and 2 European tours. We got great feedback and had lots of fun. A lot has happened since then. We have been working really hard to give you a great 2nd album. We don't want to disappoint and I'm pretty sure you wont be. We also lost a great friend and bassist but quickly found a great replacement in a guy named Jerry Garcia, some of you locals may know him as the Taking Over Bassist, which has brought great ideas to the Bonded By Blood table. Now on to the juicy stuff...
We are almost done writing material for the next album. We have also demoed some songs for our listening pleasure. It also helps me write lyrics. I have shown some of my really close friends and allies and they love it. It's a step up from the old stuff and a step in the right direction.
We have a couple of album names floating around but nothing is set in stone. We have narrowed down some studios in LA and around the area as well as producers. There is also a really cool artist that instantly captivated our eyes with his work I'm pretty sure you will love him as well once you see the art.
The sound and subject matter is a bit different than our last attempt but in a good way. Its heavier fast and a bit more technical and precise. Still has that Bonded By Blood taste. We are trying to get in the studio in December or maybe even January. So this new untitled album will be out early next year. I know you can't wait to get your palms on it. Shit I'm fucking excited to get my palms on it."
