Blood Feast formed in Bayonne, New Jersey, in 1985 under the initial name Bloodlust. Drummer Kevin Kuzma and guitarist Adam Tranquilli spearheaded the classic lineup. Consequently, the group quickly developed into aggressive pioneers of East Coast speed and thrash metal.
Initially, the band released their first demo tape, The Suicidal Missions, in 1986. Shortly after, New Renaissance Records signed the rising American act. The group then unleashed their landmark full-length debut album, Kill for Pleasure, in 1987.
Furthermore, they quickly followed up with the relentless Face Fate EP that same year.
Original guitarist Adam Tranquilli left the group prior to their second record. Subsequently, the remaining quartet re-recorded the material and released Chopping Block Blues in 1989.
Nevertheless, Tranquilli and Kuzma reactivated Blood Feast for full-time touring in 2007. They later signed with Hells Headbangers Records for fresh studio output. Afterwards, the band delivered their fierce comeback record, The Future State of Wicked, in 2017.
Finally, the group returned with their fourth studio album, Infinite Evolution, in 2024. Therefore, Blood Feast cemented their enduring legacy as stubborn champions of raw American thrash.
