Christian metal band from Seattle, Washington, formed in 1984.

The band formed around the leadership of Michael Bloodgood, who had been active in the local music scene for some time.

The band's sound was in many ways typical of 1980s glam metal bands, but their lyrics were distinctly Christian. By 1988, Bloodgood represented one of the four largest Christian metal bands (excluding the mainstream success of Stryper) alongside Barren Cross, Leviticus, and Whitecross.

After five studio albums and three live releases, the group officially disbanded in 1994. The group reformed in 2006 and performing several times a year since in the U.S. and Europe.

Bloodgood was a 2010 Inductee into the Christian Music Hall of Fame. Its album "Detonation" has been listed at #23 by HM Magazine on its Top 100 Christian Rock Albums of All Time list and #8 by Heaven's Metal fanzine on its Top 100 Christian Metal Albums of All-Time list.

A full-length documentary, Trenches of Rock produced by Bloodygood Pictures, has been made about them.

The band disbanded in 2022 after the death of founding bassist Michael Bloodgood.
