Boston-based heavy metal supergroup BLOOD LIGHTNING (with members of GOZU, Sam Black Church, Worshipper, We're All Gonna Die) team up with US powerhouse Ripple Music for the release of their self-titled debut that dropped last Friday.

https://ripplemusic.bandcamp.com/album/blood-lightningFormed in December 2020, Blood Lightning brings together the talents of vocalist Jim Healey (We're All Gonna Die), guitarist Doug Sherman (GOZU), bassist Bob Maloney (Worshipper) and drummer J.R. Roach (Sam Black Church). What began as a 2019 Halloween show playing the entire Black Sabbath "Born Again" album just for fun has culminated in the release of original material by four veterans of the Boston metal/hardcore community.
Blood Lightning was formed with one thing in mind: get back to the real essence of heavy metal. No pretense. No subgenres to fit into. Only badass, straightforward, hard-hitting heavy metal with a nod to old school NWOBHM with contemporary firepower. They teamed up with award-winning producer and engineer Benny Grotto (Rolling Stones, Aerosmith), and mastering legend Alan Douches (Motörhead, Mastodon, High On Fire) to record five original songs and one Black Sabbath cover over the course of 2021 and 2022.
We've pressed this record on CD and LP, including both black lightning and mily clear/cyan blue galaxy variant. Grab your preferred format here:
