About

BLOODSTAIN – Sweden’s next metal force. Classic riff discipline. Modern live impact.

Bloodstain formed in late 2023 in Stockholm, Sweden, and quickly became one of Sweden’s most talked-about new metal bands. Built on classic metal and thrash foundations—and sharpened by relentless rehearsal and stage time—Bloodstain delivers fast, heavy songs with hooks, precision, and a youthful intensity that translates instantly live.

After a breakout year with the self-released debut EP I Am Death, the band’s live momentum accelerated rapidly. In 2024, Bloodstain’s Stockholm show at Debaser caught the attention of Alex Hellid (Entombed), leading to a long-term management and production partnership with Threeman Recordings.

2025 became the band’s “proof year”: festival appearances, headline-level crowd reactions, and high-profile support shows—most notably on tour supporting Dark Tranquillity (with Iceland’s Múr). Bloodstain also continued building an audience that actually buys physical releases and merch—an increasingly rare advantage for a new band.

2026 campaign: Conspiracy (digital) + collectible 7-INCH

2026 marks the start of Bloodstain’s next chapter. The campaign launches with the single “Conspiracy” (digital release 16 January 2026) supported by a collectible 7-inch: Conspiracy / Still Alive (Live).

Still Alive (Live) is a genuine milestone moment: it captures the first song ever performed by the new lineup—and the first song Oskar Lindroos ever sang live as Bloodstain’s frontman—recorded at the lineup’s very first show supporting Dark Tranquillity alongside Múr. Pressed to wax, it’s a statement of intent—and a premonition of what’s coming next.

With major live plans across Sweden and Europe, Bloodstain is also set for an international breakthrough appearance at Hellfest (June 2026) while completing their highly anticipated debut album.
