Trigger the Bloodshed has released three studio albums and toured in Europe with Suffocation, Cannibal Corpse, Meshuggah among others.
The band was critically acclaimed by the press, including Kerrang!, Terrorizer and Metal Hammer magazines, for their extreme and technical form of death metal music.
Trigger the Bloodshed was founded in Bath, United Kingdom during September 2006 by guitarists Rob Purnell and Martyn Evans. In 2007, the band was joined by the vocalist Charlie Holmes, bassist Jamie O'Rourke and drummer Max Blunos; and signed to Rising Records. The debut album, Purgation, was released in early 2008 and the band gained praise from the English press, in particular Kerrang!, Terrorizer and Metal Hammer magazines. In June, Trigger the Bloodshed played at the Download Festival. Holmes and O'Rourke departed and were replaced by a new vocalist Jonny Burgan and bassist Dave Purnell, younger brother of Rob Purnell. Holmes went on to form a new, melodic hardcore band, Heart in Hand.
Trigger the Bloodshed signed to Metal Blade Records in July 2008 and Purgation was released in U.S., Canada, Australia and Japan. The band supported Suffocation, Meshuggah and Cryptopsy on tour from mid- to late 2008, performed at the Download Festival and began work on their second album, The Great Depression. After the release in April 2009, the band supported Cannibal Corpse and Dying Fetus on a tour. In July 2009, Blunos departed from the band.
