"Bloodsoul" is the third studio album by the German death metal band Fleshcrawl. It was the last Fleshcrawl album to feature vocalist Alex Pretzer, and the first on which guitarist and founding member Mike Hanus played both guitar and bass. In addition, it was the first of their albums to be recorded at Abyss Studio. [http://www.fleshcrawl.net/fc_content.php?option=releases] [http://www.metal-archives.com/release.php?id=2178]

This album is typical of Fleshcrawl's mid-to-late-1990s sound, characterized by rapid speed passages, high-speed rolling Double-Bass Drum patterning, and well layered melodic guitar Riffing. The general sound can be thought of as highly similar to that of other 1990s-era Melodic death metal bands, such as Dismember and Grave, with slight hints of Terrorizer-like Grindcore/Deathgrind sounds, especially in the vocals.
