Music like Blood Duster

Blood Duster is an extreme metal and stoner rock band from Melbourne, Australia. Their name comes from the song "Blood Duster" by John Zorn, from the 1989 album Naked City.

The band was formed in 1991 by Jason Fuller (aka Jason PC) (bass), Anthony Barry (vocals and guitar) and Andrew Brown (drums), although Anthony Barry was almost immediately replaced by Troy Darlington and Callum Wilson.

A self-released demo recording in 1992 was titled Menstrual Soup. By the time the band recorded their first EP, Wilson and Darlington had been replaced by Tony Forde, Shane Rout and Brad Johnston.

Fisting the Dead, the band's debut, is a straightforward grindcore EP that featured 25 tracks, released in mid-1993. According to Rosemary Overell, "They are largely credited with establishing Melbourne's gore- and porno-grindcore aesthetic". The tracks were initially recorded for a proposed split album on the Wild Rags label with other tracks by Impetigo and Meat Shits. The track "Derek" refers to a character played by Peter Jackson in his 1987 cult film Bad Taste, which was "heavily influenced by the late-'80s grindcore of such Earache label bands as Carcass and Napalm Death."
