Bludspyre-(n.) 1.The lifeline of a humanoid
2. A cross made of blood
3. An Indiana prog-metal quartet.

This band has been through the ups and down. Through many different members until finalizing a solid lineup in 2006. They have opened for such reknowned bands such as MACHINEHEAD, NONPOINT, BURY YOUR DEAD, BOBAFLEX, HYDROVIBE, and the superstar band HELLYEAH.


Why this name?
Bludspyre came to us in a friend's artwork. It was a red line with blue lines weaving in and out. When we asked him about the name of, he just said it was a blood spiral. We had a brain fart and Bludspyre came to surface.
Do you play live?
We play live in many various venues, mostly metal venues.
We enjoy the rush of people singing "Ecto Acid", and our special moment was when we opened up for Hellyeah in Wisconsin......it wasn't the show but it was us and our fan bus going to the Miller Brewery before the show.
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
It's helped bands get a name out there.....and then again it has gotten old.
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
Yes, if we could still hold our own identities and not be completely transformed by the machine.
Band History:
Bludspyre started in a basement about 6 years ago between two teenagers, Tony Snyder and Sean Goodpaster. They went through 4 gruesome years and failing band members until they finalized the band's lineup with a drummer (Mike Delia) and a bassist/promoter (Tim Winchester) on May 27th, 2006.
Along with a warped named as BLUDSPYRE each band member took upon themselves a twisted nickname (from either high school or life itself) for each of them. Sean and Tony had their nicknames from early high school and placed upon themselves and solidified their nicknames (StG & Tbag Tonez). Tim and Mike asserted their nicknames from their friends (Tank and Mad Mike). The band managed to play numerous gigs nonstop until, two months after their 1 year anniversary, Mike Delia could no longer play the drums due to his fight with diabetes. They parted ways kindly and quickly found the new drummer in a matter of days. Roger Ford, previously from one of the first bands Bludspyre played with (Chain Down), took the sticks and filed the void that was left by Mike. (The band and Mike still chat with no hard feelings)

Roger was soon dubbed "Porkchop" and he took to Bludspyre's songs immediately. Now the band is coming up on their 2nd anniversary of being a complete (functioning) band and celebrating about 8 years of being the name Bludspyre. They have had the extreme pleasure of sharing the stage with notable regional acts such as, ILL CONCEIVED, IN SILENCE(California) TENSIONHEAD (Michigan) and TRIPROD (Illinois). They have also been given the priviledge to open up for HYDROVIBE, NONPOINT, BURY YOUR DEAD, MACHINEHEAD, and HELLYEAH.
Voiced by the screams and laments of StG, followed by the Dimebaggish riffs and solos of Tbag Tonez, this band plows their way into the music scene backed by the growling bass of Tank and the war drum sounds of Porkchop. A force to be reckoned with, and when the spiral of blood falls the world will soon follow.
