Black Blood

Black Blood aka Steven Sick is one of the most enigmatic producers of Hardcore Techno. Active in the 90s (and early 2000s) and part of the second generation of Doomcore and Industrial Hardcore producers, he was a Doom- and Darkcore pioneer. He just did few releases, and then disappeared from the scene, and not much more is known about him. He must have had good networking though, as his releases appeared throughout Europe and even Australia.

His own brand of Doomcore is very peculiar, with not much of the often used "rave buildup" but rather a mix of 90s Industrial Hardcore, even Speedcore, and Doomcore sentiments. His sound is much deeper and more complex than most of his peers. His tracks verge on Noise and Industrial madness sometimes. A very individualist approach, and he deserves a lot of praise for that.
