Blood Desecration is an American Blackened Death Metal band from Rochester, NY. The band name was picked due to having the word blood in it and wanting to make it sound as metal as possible.
The band is known for their high energy shows, with JTs high shrieks and low growls along with his signature "chainsaw" guitar tone made popular by Swedish death metal. Adding in the mix is Jake's pulse pounding bass, Dave's double bass and blast beats, and Owen "Butters" heavy distorted rhythmic guitaring.
The band was formed in 2022 after a regrouping from former bands. Two of the founding former members, vocalist Jacob Johnson and rhythm guitarist Sophie Wesselhoff, we're a huge integral addition to the first two EPs, Behind These Eyes and Medusa. The band is inspired by Hypocrisy, Death, Slayer, Entombed, Dismember, Dark Funeral, Behemoth, Children Of Bodom, Dissection and many others.
Following their debut show with the bands Invictra, Glass Skeleton Death March, and Haishen in May of 2023, Blood Desecration has shared the stage with many big names such as Whitechapel, Goatwhore, The Obsessed, Internal Bleeding, Stabbed, Gozu, Howling Giant, and many others.
In 2025 Blood Desecration joined forces with From The Depths Entertainment.
