Blood Duster

Blood Duster is an extreme metal and stoner rock band from Melbourne, Australia. Their name comes from the song "Blood Duster" by John Zorn, from the 1989 album Naked City.

History

The band was formed in 1991 by Jason Fuller (aka Jason PC) (bass), Anthony Barry (vocals and guitar) and Andrew Brown (drums), although Anthony Barry was almost immediately replaced by Troy Darlington and Callum Wilson. By the time the band first recorded 1993's Fisting the Dead, Wilson and Darlington had been replaced by Tony Forde, Shane Rout and Brad Johnston.Fisting the Dead is a straightforward grindcore EP that featured 25 tracks. It was later re-released twice: first repackaged with the Yeest EP on Relapse Records and Drug Bust Records in 1996, and later with bonus tracks as Fisting the Dead... Again on Goat Sounds Records in 2005.

In 1995, Blood Duster released the EP Yeest, which started to show some more rock leanings. They toured Australia including Canberra in November 1995. Then the band produced 1998's Str8 Outta Northcote, which featured a bizarre combination of Southern rock riffs and blasting grindcore.

Blood Duster (album)

Blood Duster is Blood Duster's fourth full-length album, which is self-titled mainly because anything after Cunt would be a disappointment. A competition was run on the band's messageboard to suggest album names, with some responses being Fucked Up By The Grace Of God and Taming The Manaconda. Another suggestion was For Those About To Fuck, but this was used as the name for the first track instead.

The album itself is labelled by the band as being "Psychodeathrockin’punkpimpin’icedealing gangstashit" and is an attempt to establish the genre of 'Anthemic Grind Rock'. With Blood Duster having secured an endorsement from the Black Flys sunglasses brand, Jason PC Fuller suggested in one interview that the band had become "corporate rock whores" . This album took longer to record than previous Blood Duster albums and features a number of guest appearances including Jay Dunne from 28 Days, original AC/DC singer Dave Evans and the complete line-up of Melbourne band The Spazzys. It also contains the singles DrinkFightFuck, SixSixSixteen and IWannaDoItWithADonna.
