Baptists is a former Canadian hardcore punk band hailing from Vancouver. Active from 2010 to 2023, they were known for their intense and aggressive sound that resonated with fans of the genre. Drawing inspiration from bands like Enabler, Dead in the Dirt, and Cursed, Baptists carved out their own unique space in the music scene.

With a discography that spanned over a decade, Baptists released several albums and EPs that showcased their raw energy and uncompromising attitude. Their music appealed to those who craved an unfiltered sonic experience, as they blended elements of hardcore punk with influences from metal and noise.

During their active years, Baptists toured extensively, sharing stages with notable acts such as Full Of Hell, All Pigs Must Die, and Trap Them. Their live performances were characterized by explosive energy and an unwavering commitment to delivering powerful shows.

Southern Lord is a leading metal label founded by Greg Anderson and Stephen O'Malley in 1998. Known for releasing experimental, drone, and doom metal projects, they have worked with renowned bands such as Boris, Sunn o))), Earth, Weedeater, and Goatsnake. In addition to these genres, Southern Lord also releases death metal, grindcore, hardcore and punk projects.

Like its predecessor, Bloodmines is a fast, exhilarating album of rage, oozing with genuine raw emotion and punk rock fury. Shards of feedback make way for fast powerful riffs and savage vocals, whilst explosive drumming pumps blood around the band's beating heart.  On album tracks like "Vistas", "Calling" and the title track, "Bloodmines", the pace changes, revealing powerful, almost anthemic, jagged noise rock akin to influential San Diego post-hardcore band Drive Like Jehu and similar acts which go beyond the two minute mark. Discordant guitar melodies and abrasive vocal passages are elongated, still volatile but perhaps allowing for further contemplation of the band's underlying message. Vinyl version comes in Stoughton gatefold jacket.
