The Bloody Nerve, are in the throes of their mold-breaking concept album All Blood, No Treasure that started with ‘Episode I:  A Million Arms’ in June of 2020. 

 “We wanted the opener to feel like the way Solzhenitsyn described ‘arrest’ in The Gulag Archipelago.  That traumatic jolt from one state to another.” – Stacey Blood

Vocalist Laurie Ann Layne describes the nature of the album.  “Each song will have its own lyric video, and original art-piece for the backdrop. Visual art will become part of the process.”

The Bloody Nerve is born from the creative synergy between Forth Worth, TX native Stacey Blood and Laurie Ann Layne from New York City. Transcending the status-quo, their unique fusion challenges rock norms, mixing digital and analog sounds in their journey of artistic growth. The result is a an algomation of Western circumstances, mourning the darkest worlds of late Pink Floyd and soaring with incindiary blues/gospel vocal flair of the Staples Singers. Their democratic approach to vocals, where both members switch between lead and harmony, adds a special dynamic to their sound.

Their concept album “All Blood, No Treasure,” released episodically since 2020, showcases their willingness to push the envelope and take chances. This work, particularly their latest release, Episode 9 – Assassin Of Pain,” delves into critical themes with a punk-rock and alternative edge.
