| Just found this thread!  The debut was certainly different from anything else in the Christian realm at the time. The production wasn't too flash, and the band shots gave them a semi-glam look which belied the intensity of songs like Black Snake and Demon on the Run. Les Carlsen's Broadway style vocals gave the band a theatrical dimension and made the band stand out from the crowd. Detonation was a step up in songwriting, with Battle of the Flesh heralding a proto-thrash metal sound and of course the killer one-two of Crucify/The Messiah. An improvement on the debut in every way. Rock in a Hard Place was straight out arena rock -an interesting stylistic shift for the intense metal band of Detonation. We all know about the production, but the lyrics are what hit me the most from this album. from the witty Shakin' It, the life-snapshot of the World Keeps Movin' Around, the worshipful The Presence, the heartachingly personal of What Have I Done and experimental Seven, so much is conveyed intimately. I've always felt that Out of the Darkness was a fusion of the early metal with mid period arena rock, with Let My People Go and the title track being good examples of the former, and Top of the Mountain the latter. Paul Jackson is no slouch on guitar, though the live arena suits him more than the studio. The good songs from All Stand Together made it to the To Germany, With Love release, but on the whole this album was a disappointment to me. Still, a legendary band! |

| I guess Bloodgood always reminded me of kind of a metalish Journey, in that Les sounds a little like Steve Perry. Other than that, I can't think of anyone who Bloodgood sounds like. Maybe they have their own style. |

| Bloodgood really do have their own sound!
I really wish they would finally release a new album though! It's been years since they have reunited! |

| From what I've read on their site they are in the studio. Of course that was months ago, and Oz is on tour with Stryper. |
