Editor's note

Sacred Blood's Finnish metal explores war and history

A Finnish black-death metal band known for lengthy songs about ancient battles and mythological themes.

If you want to understand Sacred Blood, start with 'Legacy Of The Lyre' and 'Hordes of Evil'. They show how the band handles both the epic and the aggressive sides of their sound.

Sacred Blood matters because they've carved out a specific corner of the underground metal scene that few others occupy quite the same way. Their ten-minute track 'Battlefield Aenaon' shows how they build entire worlds around historical conflicts. Songs like 'Hordes of Evil' and 'Ride Through The Achaemenid Empire' treat ancient warfare as both subject matter and atmosphere.

They emerged from Finland's underground around 2001 with 'Shadows of War'. The band kept releasing albums like 'The Serpent's Kiss' in 2012 and 'Bringer of Death' in 2014, maintaining their focus on war and mythological lyrics throughout lineup changes and occasional criticism.

Archive material and source history

Sacred Blood came out of Finland's underground metal scene. Their music mixes black and death metal, with songs like 'Hordes of Evil' and 'The Defenders of Thermopylae' showing their approach. The band's lineup includes Matti Johannes on vocals, Kai Hiltunen on lead guitar, Tuomas Rantala on rhythm guitar, Mikael Leinonen on bass, and Antti Kuusinen on drums.

They've released several albums since 2001, starting with 'Shadows of War' and including 'Battlefield Aenaon' in 2005. That album's title track runs about ten minutes and deals with war themes, which is common in their work. Other songs like 'Legacy Of The Lyre' and 'Ride Through The Achaemenid Empire' continue with historical and mythological subjects.

Their lyrics have drawn criticism at times for focusing on war, violence, and occult topics. The band has generally stood by their material as an exploration of darker themes rather than glorification. They've kept making music through these discussions, with albums like 'The Serpent's Kiss' in 2012 and 'Bringer of Death' in 2014.
