  • Bio

    MANAGEMENT: ADAM (DOOM) SEWELL AT RIOT ROCK. www.riotrock.com Blitzkid began in Bluefield, WV in the winter of 1997. In the 14 years that they have been a band, they have toured consistently all over the US and overseas. The band is headed up by ARGYLE GOOLSBY(bass/vokills/metabolism). In the time they have been a band, they have garnered critical underground acclaim for their tireless work ethic, consistent, ever evolving album output, disregard for bad tour routing and dedication to giving their audience their money's worth through providing energetic live shows and playing great songs. Blitzkid has a prodigious following in the states as well as Europe and have shared the stage, in some cases regularly, with many and great notable acts. Blitzkid have also been a regular part of many of the biggest festivals in Europe including M'era Luna, Rock My Ass, Endless Summer, Summer Breeze, and WGT. Blitzkid are signed to People Like You/Century Media Records worldwide and managed by Riot Rock Management. They are booked exclusively by Destiny Tourbooking in Europe, and by The Pantheon Agency in North America. . The band has released material consistently since 1998 consisting of: "Songs for the Aesthetically Challenged": 1998. "Revisited": 1999. "Terrifying Tales": 2000. "Let Flowers Die": 2001. "Exhuming Graves and Making Dates": 2002. "Trace of a Stranger": 2003. "Everyday is Halloween": 2004. "Five Cellars Below": 2006. "Anatomy of Reanimation": 2008. "Apparitional" released in March of 2011 is Blitzkid's first release on Century Media/PLY Records. Their music has also appeared in many salient horror films, most notably "It Came From Trafalgar", "Dark Wings": a documentary on the Mothman, "Satan Hates You", and Gris Grimly's classic "Cannibal Flesh Riot". They have also appeared favorably in publications such as Terrorizer, Punk Rock Confidential, Metal Maniacs, Rue Morgue, Horrorhound, Virus, Drop Dead, Sonic Seducer, KinKats, Revolver, Zillo, and Ox. Since they have been together, the band has captured the imaginations of fans of underground music all over the world. At Blitzkid shows, there is no separation between the band and the fans, and you can expect it to be a catharsis of emotion, intensity and a visible exorcism through raw melodicism. Their aim has, and always will be, to create something meaningful for themselves and others through songs that stand the test of time. LONG LIVE THE HORROR!!!

In the time they have been a band, they have garnered critical underground acclaim for their tireless work ethic, consistent, ever evolving album output, disregard for gas mileage, and dedication to giving their audience the respect they deserve through providing great songs and energetic live shows. The band has been branded by the road and wears the scars proudly.

Blitzkid has a prodigious following in the states as well as Europe, and have shared the stage, in some cases regularly, with many and great notable acts. Blitzkid have also been a regular part of many of the biggest festivals in Europe including M’era Luna, Rock My Ass, Endless Summer, Summer Breeze, and WGT.

Since they have been together, the band has captured the imaginations of fans of underground music all over the world. At Blitzkid shows, there is no separation between the band and the fans, and you can expect it to be a catharsis of emotion, intensity and raw melodicism.

Their aim has, and always will be, to create something meaningful for themselves and others, forsaking fame and fortune for songs that stand the test of time.

LONG LIVE THE HORROR.
