Blood Has Been Shed NOT Breaking Up
Since Blood Has Been Shed vocalist Howard Jones officially joined Killswitch Engage last week, there has been some uncertainty surrounding the future of Blood Has Been Shed. Ferret Music has commented on the situation and they firmly state that BHBS will not be breaking up, that Howard will play a role in both bands. Anybody who has followed BHBS for the past few years knows that they are not a full-time band, so this situation doesn't seem like too much of a stretch. As Ferret puts it, "While Howard is touring with Killswitch they'll [BHBS] be writing. During KSE breaks, BHBS will be playing. It's that simple and we're excited for both bands." Catch both of them live this weekend at Hellfest.
