Today Bloodstain releases their self-titled debut album, Bloodstain!
Built on classic hard rock and heavy metal foundations, the record brings together sharp riffs, strong hooks, dynamic songwriting and modern production in the Stockholm band’s first full album statement.
Formed in late 2023, Bloodstain have developed quickly across both the studio and the stage. Their growing festival and support experience has become part of the music itself: songs written to carry physical weight, melodic focus and a direct connection with an audience.
The album arrives with a strong endorsement from Sweden Rock Magazine, issue SRM 8/2026. Bloodstain topped the issue’s Soundcheck jury ranking, placing ahead of new releases by Europe, Anthrax, Audrey Horne and others. A separate album review awarded Bloodstain an emphatic 8/10, highlighting its immediate hooks, fierce energy and modern metal weight. The issue also features a dedicated Bloodstain interview by Simon Lundh.
Alx Hell: “This is hard rock in 2026: rooted in the classics, yet delivered with modern precision and maximum impact. Music that should feel just as natural through headphones as it does standing front row by the stage.”
Bloodstain is produced by Alex Hellid, Per Aldeheim and Bloodstain, with co-production and additional arrangements by Stefan Norgren. The band was recorded by Simon Johansson at Solna Sound Production in Stockholm. Vocals, additional guitars, keys, percussion and programming were recorded and engineered by Per Aldeheim at THE Studio in Stockholm. Ronnie Björnström mixed and mastered the album at Björnström Sound in Sundsvall. Björnström also contributed additional production and string and keyboard arrangements to Lies Bleeding Through.
The line-up is Oskar Lindroos on guitar and lead vocals, Tobias Lindström on guitar and backing vocals, Jonathan Thyberg on bass and backing vocals, and Benjamin Norgren on drums and backing vocals.
The album is released via Threeman Recordings, with exclusive distribution through Sound Pollution. Available on all streaming platforms.
