The name Blood Has Been Shed is drawn from the idea of "what we have done to each other in a literal and and metaphoric sense, and that we should attempt to do something about it." The band is formed of a variety of ideologies and very distinct individual personalities, but this is a theme that all involved could agree upon as being important enough to be one of the primary focus' of the band.

Blood Has Been Shed, formed in late 1997 by Corey (guitar), John (drums), Chris (bass), Todd (guitar), and Jones (Vocals) quickly became one of CT's favorite exports. The first CD was recorded after only a little over a month together. The band has undergone several lineup changes but the core of it's members (Corey, John, and Jones) are in it for the long haul.

Ferret became interested in bhbs after Carl (Ferret | Nora) watched them play in an extremely hot and sweaty basement in New Jersey with God Forbid, Nora, and Fall Silent. Ferret picked up distribution of Blood Has Been Shed's first independently released CD 'I Dwell on Thoughts of You' and plans for the second, yet to be released CD "Novella of Uriel' soon began.
