Viking Power Rock And Roll

Formed in 2000, Blood Red Eagle are an Australian RAC / Viking Rock band that combines elements of RAC, Oi!, Metal, Folk Ballads and Viking Rock to bring the movement their own style of sound. The band put forward a mixture of traditional Asatru themes, social observations and what they refer to as "Heathen Politics" - an infusion of current social observations infused with an Odinist point of view. The music is heavily influenced by the traditional Scandinavian Viking Rock style before it was pacified by many of the weak politically correct 'acts' of today, Viking Metal, Folk metal, while still retaining their roots as a skinhead band with an aggression to match.
The band has been proud to support Blood and Honour and have played many shows for B+H Australia and the Southern Cross Hammerskins. The band has since become a proud supporter of Volksfront International. To find out more about these organizations see the links page.
During their career they have so far had the honour to support some of the greatest bands the movement has ever seen. Bands such as The Bully Boys, Fortress, Deaths Head, Bail Up!, Ravenous and more, while receiving a growing reputation both locally and internationally as a fresh take on their ethnic cultural promotion and positive activism.
At the time of this writing Blood Red Eagle have endured a prosperous recording career. Their now rare first album, an 8 track CD entitled "An Evil Shall Break Forth" was recorded and signed to the now defunct Viking Thunder Records label from the USA before they had ever played to live audiences, recorded between late 2000 and early 2001. Since then they have released a 12" 4 track Vinyl "The Warrior EP" (2003) and their second full length CD album "Return to Asgard"(2005) both with Italian label Barracuda Records, the latter being the album the band feels helped gain them their reputation.
Following these releases, BRE were the first band ever to release a full length CD as a free compliment to Blood and Honour Finland Magazine, the CD called "Teutonic Atavism"(2005), an already rare disc pressed to only 250 copies. This features a mix of released and forthcoming material plus some new unreleased studio and live tracks. The band regards this as one of their proudest moments and highest honors, to be able to give something back to their scene and its supporters.
In 2006 the band released its 3rd official CD album "Australiana" with prolific Belgian label Pure Impact. This CD is a mix of unreleased studio outtakes spanning the bands recording career and contains 14 tracks with a huge mix of sounds and a document of the bands progression.
Their next album to be released (at time of writing) Burning Down The Churches is an album the band feels will set a new standard for themselves and raise the bar of their genre. Not much can be divulged about this album except that it is planned to be released on the USA label Free Your Mind Productions, and regarding the music itself - in their own words: "it will be worth the wait!"
