  • Blood For Blood Sign With Roadrunner Records, Share First New Song In 21 Years “You’re Gonna Have To Kill Me”

    Blood For Blood have signed a new deal with Roadrunner Records. With this news, the band have also shared their first new song in 21 years. That track is titled “You’re Gonna Have To Kill Me” and it can be streamed below:

    Vocalist Rob Lund commented on the single:

    “It’s a straight-up-the-pipe Blood for Blood song. Initially, it points out pop culture’s fascination with criminality and outlaw nonsense. Everybody is trying to be wild, gangster, or whatever, all of which ‘You’re Gonna Have To Kill Me‘ sneers at. For all of this contempt, it ends on a really positive note. It might even be uplifting, which is my hope.”

    The band also added:

    “Blood For Blood have returned from exile with new music and new live dates. We’re proud to say we’ve signed with Roadrunner Records, and our new single ‘You’re Gonna Have To Kill Me‘ is streaming everywhere now.”

We’ve never felt more aligned with a new team, as 3DOT is filled with passionate, like-minded, boundary-pushing creatives who share our uncompromising vision for the future. We also want to thank Blue Swan & Rise Records for an incredible decade of growth and success, and with this new 3DOT partnership we are eager to explore what the band is truly capable of.”

    “When we started 3DOT our goal was to work with bands whose talent, vision, and creativity we respect and appreciate. To say we respect Eidola would be an understatement.
