Blood Thirsty began as a musical outlet for friends Derek Corzine and James Rich. Several demo ideas were recorded in the years after as simply raw death metal with melodic touches. In early-mid 2000's, some of the demo ideas we re-recorded and released via MySpace, but the project was later put on indefinite hiatus due to Derek's other band and music involvement with no real plans to revive it.
Finally, in the summer of 2013, Derek's friends in Oklahoma-based death metal band, Broken Flesh, renewed a fire for more high-quality death metal. With Derek's love for all things symphonic and extremely brutal, Blood Thirsty's sound morphed into a grandiose, epic sound with layers of 8-string guitar, multiple symphonic tracks, and an onslaught of powerful gutteral and shrieking extreme metal vocals.
Blood Thirsty's debut album, Sanguine River Absolution, was officially released on July 8, 2014

Scared to Death
Blood Thirsty Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Breaking through the chains, the wicked nature fumes
Seeing Nazarene, he fell down at His feet
"Son of the Most High God, what do you want with me?"
"Spirit of impurity, depart from this man!"
Jesus asked the spirit, "What is your name?"
Viewing herd of swine, the pathetic spirit begs
"If you drive us out, send us to the pigs!"
"Go! Into the herd! Go!"
The spirits exit the man
Possess the swine on the hill
The whole herd rushed down the steep bank
Two thousand to their death, drowning in the lake
The man, set free
Break the chains
Demons burn with fear, they are scared to death
So give the glory to God, the One who gave you breath
The lyrics of Blood Thirsty's song "Scared to Death" tell the story of a man possessed by multiple spirits. This man resides among the tombs and is bound by chains, symbolizing his captivity and torment. However, when he encounters Jesus Christ, he falls down before Him, recognizing His divine power and authority. The man acknowledges Jesus as the Son of the Most High God and is filled with a sense of fear and awe.
Jesus commands the impure spirit to depart from the man, showing His ability to cast out evil. Curious about the nature of the spirit, Jesus asks for its name. The spirit replies, "My name is Legion, for we are many." This suggests the man's possession is not just by a single entity but by numerous evil spirits.
As Jesus observes a herd of swine nearby, the spirit begs to be sent into them if it is cast out of the man. Jesus grants this request, and the spirits leave the man and enter the herd. In a dramatic turn of events, the entire herd rushes down a steep bank and drowns in a lake, signifying their destruction.
The liberated man is now free from the grip of the evil spirits. He is encouraged to break the chains that bound him, symbolizing his liberation from his past afflictions. The demons, consumed by fear, are "scared to death" as they witness the power of Jesus and His ability to triumph over evil.
The song ultimately emphasizes the need to give glory to God, who is the ultimate source of life and deliverance. It highlights the transformative power of encountering Jesus and the victory that can be achieved over fear and darkness through faith.
