Bloodstain

BLOODSTAIN formed in Stockholm at the end of 2023, and this self-titled record is the four-piece's debut album. Their self-released EP "I Am Death" (2024) passed 500,000 Spotify streams, after which the band signed a management and production deal with Threeman Recordings, the label run by ENTOMBED guitarist Alex Hellid; the international edition is released through that label on 25 September 2026. The album was produced by Alex Hellid, Per Aldeheim and the band. Its ten tracks include the advance singles "Lies Bleeding Through" (April 2025), "Banner Of Supremacy" (May 2025), "Conspiracy" (January 2026), "Something Sinister" (April 2026) and "Annihilation Line" (June 2026). The line-up is Oskar Lindroos (vocals, guitar), Tobias Lindström (guitar), Jonathan Thyberg (bass) and Benjamin Norgren (drums). In Japan, Bickee Music issues it on the same day as an import edition with domestic distribution (BKMY-1152), with an obi plus liner notes and an interview announced as planned; there are no bonus tracks, so the running order matches the international edition. The band has played Sweden Rock Festival and Hellfest, and supported DARK TRANQUILLITY on tour in October 2025.
