Bloodlust was a speed / thrash metal, formed in 1983 in Los Angeles, USA. Their style was
somewhat similar to Omen or Witchkiller but more typical LA sounding and far less epic. Their
singer Guy Lord was eventually replaced by the ex-Abattoir vocalist Steve Gaines. After the release
of "Terminal Velocity" in 1988 the band more or less split up because of musical differences and turned into
Last Rites, a band that lasted for about two years.
