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

The Day the Devil Lost
Blood Thirsty Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Selfish nature takes hold
No longer to abide
Jealousy-fueled desire consumes
Becoming enraptured in pride
Disgust
Inflamed with repulsion
Resulting in expulsion
Legions of angels
Answer the battle call
Beauty doused in blood
Like lightning from Heaven he falls
The day the devil lost
Part of Heaven
Enters unholy alliance
And so their fate is sealed
Consuming fire for their defiance
Wage war
Burning hatred made known
Obsession
To rise above God's throne
Prowl around
Frantic
Seeking to devour
He knows it's the final hour
Satanic eradication is nigh
The lyrics of Blood Thirsty's song "The Day the Devil Lost" explore biblical concepts of Satan's fall from heaven and his subsequent rebellion against God. The song references several passages from the Bible, including Isaiah 14: 13-15, which describes Lucifer's pride and desire to ascend to God's throne, and Ezekiel 28: 14-18, which describes his fall from grace. The lyrics also make reference to Matthew 25: 41, which speaks of the eternal punishment that awaits Satan and his followers.
The song starts with the idea of how selfish nature takes control over a person's mind, leading them to jealousy-fueled desire that ultimately results in pride. This pride and desire, encapsulated in the need for power, overcomes Lucifer and results in his expulsion from Heaven. The imagery used in "Beauty doused in blood," speaks to how Lucifer was once viewed as a heavenly angel and how his fall from grace leads to his tarnished image.
The second half of the song then focuses on Satan's rebellion and how he lures other angels into his alliance. The lyrics speak of Satan's hatred and obsession to rise above God's throne, and his constant prowling to devour his victims. The song culminates with the idea of how Satan's final destruction is imminent, through the biblical concept of Satanic eradication.
Overall, the lyrics provide a deeply metaphorical and biblical narrative of Satan's fall and rebellion against God. It evokes themes of pride, jealousy, and the consequences of seeking immense power, ultimately leading to one's downfall.
