Stockholm, who formed the band to compete in the local music competition
Lidingö Rock. The band came second at the competition, and received the award for best guitarist. In March 2024, Bloodstain released their debut EP
I Am Death. and set the stage for future releases. This first release also lead to the band's appearance on
The Rising Four, a Swedish Metal tour with Eradicated, Eternal Evil, Sarcator and Bloodstain. Shortly after this, they signed a management and production deal with Alex Hellid from
Entombed and Threeman Recordings. Bloodstain toured Sweden together with
Dark Tranquility and
Múr in 2025, and has appeared at festivals such as
Downtown Riot and
Sweden Rock. Alongside performing various gigs around Sweden, Bloodstain are set to play at
Hellfest 2026 and Time to Rock 2026. The band is due to release their debut album on the Swedish record label Threeman Recordings and by extension on
Candlelight Records in late 2026. == Members ==
