Blood Stained Host

Italian metal band from Pescara, active since 1994. Released Individual Theatre in 1998, split and reformed (new line-up with founding members Emilio Chella on drums and Eric Giancaterino on guitar) and returned with Hidden Light (2012).

Known for atmospheric death metal with strong keyboards and melodic phrasing; reviews praise riffs, lead guitar and bass presence, and production, while criticizing the growled vocals, verbosity and uneven stylistic digressions.
