the album Thrash Metal. This turned out to be a bad idea as the music itself wasn't strictly "thrash" but also contained Death Metal and rock 'n roll influences. Pete's vocals was also a subject for debate as many listeners meant it was too Black Metal for Thrash Metal. Anyway, the band didn't think much about this until they started reading reviews where the album title was constantly being criticized. They soon understood that it had been a big mistake to give the album such a genre-binding title and as Pete later stated: -"We kinda "shot ourselves in the foot" with that title as we gave everyone a golden opportunity to criticize us for not being enough thrash metal. Instead of listening to a good metal album they only heard what was wrong with it... Too bad. I deeply regret not calling the album "Godbeater". That would have been a much better title and it would've given the album its own identity and saved us from all the slagging and nagging by reporters and metalheads who thought we were pissing all over the heritage of thrash metal." Blood Tsunami's debut album "Thrash Metal" was released by Nocturnal Art Productions and Candlelight Records on 19 March 2007. The album received very good reviews in the worldwide metal press and sold quite well. Blood Tsunami soon went on a UK tour with their friends in Zyklon and the British Death Metal band Dead Beyond Buried. 2008–2009 The band continued to play shows, mostly in Norway but also a few abroad and they made quick "one off's" in Italy and Denmark. The band had problems with going on longer tours as both Pete and Faust had family commitments. They spent much time rehearsing and Pete had soon composed enough material for a second album. During the fall of 2008 Blood Tsunami entered Lion Heart Studios with Øyvind Voldmo Larsen for the third time inthree years and began working on the album that later would be known as "Grand Feast For Vultures", which was released by Nocturnal Art Productions and Candlelight Records on 27 April 2009. The album was praised by the metal communities of the world and received critical acclaim. Once again Alex Horley made the artwork and by suggestions from Pete he came up with a grotesque painting of a rotten corpse hanging in the middle of a battlefield. A big vulture
