Band/artist history
Blitzkid began in the winter of 1997 in Bluefield, VA. At that time, the band consisted of TB Monstrosity on guitars, vokills, and bass, and Wolfgang Christopher on drums. After recording a 10 song demo just for fun titled Songs For the Aesthetically Challenged the twosome enlisted the help of Dr. Stuart Evilstein on bass. Shortly after, Wolfgang left the band and Evilstein picked up the skinbashing duties. By the fall of 1998, the band was a trio once again with the help of longtime friend Argyle Goolsby handling the bass duties. Songwriting, rehearsing, and gigs followed, and in May of 1999, they recorded the 7-song Revisited EP. This particular release showcased a more hookladen "horror rock" approach that the band had already hinted at. The recording also showcased some of the band’s most popular material to date in the songs Nadine, the original recording of Slaugher At the Sock Hop, and Hate You Better. By the winter of 1999, Blitzkid entered Lively Sound Studios in Lewisburg, WV to record the 13 song full length Terrifying Tales album. At that time, the band had become a full blown horror punk/metal band taking cues from a variety of influences such as The Misfits, The Ramones, Slayer, Type O Negative, Samhain, The Cramps, Sisters of Mercy, and Bauhaus just to name a few. Extensive gigs soon followed in their hometown as well as North Carolina, Florida, Tennessee, and Kentucky. Response to the album was good and while supporting the album Blitzkid shared the stage with the likes of The Huntingtons, Newport Gestappo, Slingshot, The Ballistics, This Machine, Tempal, Bonedriven, and The Revenants among others. Live show often consists of the band members painted up like various undead things with tons of fake blood and some horror movie props. It’s a fast paced, energetic and intense affair and the band has a very diverse audience of hardcore/punk/metal/and goth fans. After longtime drummer and good friend Dr. Stuart Evilstein left the band in May 2001, (to work with the industrial goth band ARBUS) they found Billy Bones in Saltville, VA to fill the vacant spot. Having recently played shows all over the east coast with heavies like The Dead Kings, Smackin’ Isiah, Mister Monster, The Independents, and Psycho Charger, the newly revamped creeprock trio quickly began work at Real 2 Reel studios in Blacksburg, VA in the summer of 2001 with the talented knob twiddler Rick Kranjak (who has produced albums for such local Virginia acts as This Machine and Simple Like You) as producer on the 12 track Let Flowers Die album. This new slab of music ranges in influences from Nine Pound Hammer, Slayer, Anthrax, Danzig, Bad Religion, The Misfits, Samhain, and The Ramones respectively. Guitarist/vokillist TB Monstrosity says "We didn’t wanna make a sequel to Terrifying Tales, cause everyone was labelling us as a Misfits rip off band, not to mention makin’ the same album over and over gets boring. Any band that respects itself and does what it does simply for the love of doing it will tell you that. We made a conscious effort with the new stuff not to pigeonhole ourselves. You’ve got everything from pop,punk, metallic sounding stuff tuned to drop D, to rockabilly, goth and a little bit of doo wop thrown in all on there, so we think that tag will no longer follow us as heavily as it did with our last couple of albums. So if you want the same old themes and a Misfits sounding band, I suggest you look elsewhere this time around. There are passages of piano, a Hammond organ and more bleak, darker sounding things on this record too. We’ve definitely proven ourselves as worthy of a listen on our OWN merits with this new album and I hope everyone that liked the last two releases will dig this one just as well if not better and we’ll convert a few more fans along the way and increase our visibility!" Let Flowers Die was unleashed upon unsuspecting fiends December 29th, 2001. In 2002, Blitzkid found a record label to call home in Denver, CO's Antidote Records. The label itself is handling the split 7" release with Mister Monster, the newest release entitled Trace of a Stranger, as well as a few choice re-issues from the Blitzkid DIY back-catalog. For Trace of A Stranger, Blitzkid returned to Real To Reel in Blacksburg, VA once again with Rick Kranjak handling the production and the release should see the light of day sometime between Spring and Summer of 2003. We'd like to thank all of you Corpse Corps faithful for nearly 6 years of support, and encouragement. You made this happen as much as the creeprock kids, and we'd also like to thank our new label Antidote and SIN for takin a chance on us. It's only gonna get bloodier from here kids. Stay tuned, and LONG LIVE THE HORROR!!!
