Rocking the Flock \ Michael Bloodgood of Bloodgood

Michael Bloodgood, founder, songwriter, and bassist for legendary Christian metal band Bloodgood, talks about the 80's "white metal" scene on Episode 5 of #ejesuspodcast.

See TRENCHES OF ROCK, a full-length documentary chronicling the 30-year history of Christian Metal band BLOODGOOD, who was targeted not only by a mainstream music industry that found their blatant use of faith-based lyrics unfitting with heavy metal, but also by religious extremists who believed their music was the work of the devil - confronted by death threats, picketers and protests throughout their career. The film marks the directorial debut of filmmaker Paul Michael Bloodgood. Executive produced by Oscar and Grammy winner James Moll (FOO FIGHTERS: BACK AND FORTH): https://www.bloodgoodband.com.

Co-hosted by ELECTRIC JESUS writer-director Chris White and Music Supervisor/CCM Historian John J. Thompson, and featuring composer Daniel Smith, Season 1 - Electric Jesus: The Music Behind the Movie explores the world of 1980s Christian rock music with an eye toward the creation of the film’s unforgettable original songs and score, the power of nostalgia, Evangelical youth group culture, and the Christian rock songs and artists that appear in the movie, ELECTRIC JESUS.
