BONDED BY BLOOD - "EXILED TO EARTH" OUT TODAY IN NORTH AMERICA

BONDED BY BLOOD's long-awaited sophomore release, EXILED TO EARTH is out NOW in North America. Produced by Ralph Patlan (MEGADETH, UFO, WHITE WIZZARD), EXILED TO EARTH takes fans to the year 2610 and tells the tale of The Crong, an alien race who were sent to Earth long ago with one goal -- global domination. A skilled group of warriors must now face the impossible and overthrow The Crong to take the planet back for humanity. 

Here's what the press have had to say about EXILED TO EARTH:

"Exiled To Earth is further proof that the thrash metal revival is far from dead." - Outburn magazine

"It's all about the riffs, the solos and the killer arrangements and BBB know how to execute all three with aplomb and passion."
 - Decibel magazine

"The neo-thrash is still spectacular and guitarists Alex Lee and Juan Juarez sound better than ever." - The Onion AV Club

"The guitar work is almost impeccable for what this band is doing, with guitar solos that at times leave you feeling mindfucked." - Stereokiller.com

BONDED BY BLOOD frontman JOSE BARRALES recently sat down to discuss EXILED TO EARTH, offering some insight into the story behind the album as well as a track-by-track breakdown.  Check out the video at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JRG3pQXGNBw

BONDED BY BLOOD was recently named as one of "The New Big Four" by The Guardian, one of the UK's most widely read periodicals. Standing alongside labelmates, MUNICIPAL WASTE and EVILE in the list, it is a complete honor for BONDED BY BLOOD to be thought of in the same light as the original "Big Four" -- METALLICA, MEGADETH, ANTHRAX and SLAYER. For anyone, let alone The Guardian to say that BONDED BY BLOOD is one of the bands who definitively lead the new generation of thrash is a statement that cannot be overlooked.
