Biography
Bloodhound are a 3-piece, Devon-based metalcore band, originating in late 2022.
They comprise Chris Ballard (Drums, Band Manager) Felix Ayson (Vocals, Songwriting, Bass guitar) and River Cole (Songwriting, Lead Guitar)
They mix influences from classic deathcore, beatdown, and nu metal to create a distinct and varied sound. Their mix of musical backgrounds ranging from jazz, choir and thrash influence their writing as they develop their sound.
Bloodhound have been regularly performing since January 2024, and frequent venues such as the Junction, Livewire, the Underground and Move Live. They have steadily built a large following and are now headlining sold out shows around the Plymouth area.
The band also were finalists and runners up in the 2025 Devon Secondary Schools Battle of the Bands, impressing the judges with the intensity of their live show. As their prize, the band recorded a track with The Source Studio in Devon in late June.

Their Music and Why They Play it
Originally, [Bloodhound] were a thrash metal band, until we began transitioning into metalcore in late 2023. Metalcore allowed us to experiment with a variety of other genres within our compositions, while still utilising the traditional metalcore conventions like clean singing and breakdowns. We are still experimenting, writing a mix of deathcore, hardcore and nu metal inspired pieces to challenge ourselves and keep our sound fresh.
Why YOU Should Come to Their Shows
Bloodhound are committed to consistent, high quality, professional performances no matter the size of the gig. We pride ourselves in our stagecraft and audience interaction during our shows, as well as our professionalism and ease to work with behind the scenes. We put countless hours into writing and rehearsing our music, so each show is powerful, technically impressive, and has something new to offer. We love meeting and engaging with our audience and working with them to elevate the performance, and as we constantly write and release new music, no [Bloodhound] show will ever be quite the same, but each will be better than the last.
