About Bloodgood

Bloodgood is a Christian metal band from Seattle, Washington. They originally formed in 1984 and by 1988 represented one of the four largest Christian metal bands (excluding the mainstream success Stryper) alongside Barren Cross, Whitecross, and Leviticus.

When asked about the influence of Stryper upon the band, Michael Bloodgood told an interviewer that the band had formed before Stryper became well known, and wasn't a musical influence because they played different styles of metal. Still, Stryper inspired Bloodgood due to their "go-for-broke attitude about showmanship." Bloodgood became known for showmanship in their own right, displaying attitudes and imagery that brought them into collision with some on the Christian right. In a 1998 retrospective, Christian music critic Brian Quincy Newcomb would write that "Bloodgood's ministry and music was a vital stepping stone in the maturing process of Christian rock."
