"In an alternate universe of proper 70’s-culture-worship sanity, BLOOD FARMERS ‘Headless Eyes’ title cut woulda been a cult hit. Not TOO big a’one, though; this shit’s edgy and evil even for an imaginary authentirocktopia.
Sabbath are older now. We need new metal in the arenas. Please, Satan, let it be bands like this! Let us reach for and acknowledge new, real royalty here; Dave, Eli and Tad have earned hellish thrones with this demon-u-mental rockument - a restoration of the genre, blood-soaked in vintage horror authenticism, like swampy, resurfacing 16 millimeter suppressed memories of satanic ritual sacrifice.
Oh - and do I even need to even tell ya’s the vinyl is the definitive format? Warm, loud, full, fuckin’…crisp. Beefy lows, unified - 5 out of 5 stars.” (review by Robert from SIEGE)."
Blood Farmers formed in New York City in 1989. Influenced by the downer-rock of Black Sabbath and the psychedelic horror films of the ‘60s and ‘70s, the band released its first demo, "Permanent Brain Damage", on cassette in 1991. The recording became an underground hit among doom metal fans and established Blood Farmers as a cult band in the genre.
After sharing the stage with like-minded bands such as Saint Vitus, Internal Void and Grief, their second demo tape "Bury the Living, Harvest the Dead" (1994) caught the attention of German metal label Hellhound Records. Hellhound signed the band and released the self- titled “Blood Farmers” album in 1995. Cited as an influential underground classic by bands such as Electric Wizard and Church of Misery, the disc earned raves from Kerrang!, Rock Hard and other magazines...but Hellhound Records went bankrupt a few months after the release, and Blood Farmers disbanded for over a decade.
Interest from Japan's Leafhound Records led to the CD release of "Permanent Brain Damage" in 2004 and a reunion gig in 2007 headlining the Doom Or Be Doomed festival in Baltimore. In 2008, promoting Leafhound’s reissue of their debut album, Blood Farmers toured Japan headlining over Church of Misery, Ogre and Eternal Elysium. Interest in Blood Farmers had grown through the years since the band dissolved, and these shows were packed with excited Japanese fans.
In 2009, drummer Tad Leger joined the group and they started brewing up new material. In 2011, Blood Farmers were invited to play at the Roadburn Festival as well as the Hammer of Doom Festival in Germany. During their first European tour, the band shared the stage with legends like Pentagram and Electric Wizard.
Upon their return they began tracking their new album, “Headless Eyes”. Released in March 2014 on the band’s Resurrection Productions label, “Headless Eyes” is both a doom-filled follow-up to their two previous efforts and an expansion into new territory. The album has been lauded by fans around the world, many feeling that the new material is
Blood Farmers’ best to date.
