In Name and Blood (band)
In Name and Blood (INAB) was a hardcore punk/thrash metal/crossover band from Melbourne, Australia. Formed in 2003 as "The Setup" from the ashes of Snubfighter and Rushmore, their name was changed in 2004 as an overseas band had the same name. In 2004 drummer Damien Rankin left the band, and for a brief period of time Gordon Forman of Mindsnare/Frenzal Rhomb fame filled in. It was during this period that In Name and Blood decided to go heavier musically, and shortly after INAB's first album was released, Luke Ashby from Melbourne metal band Synthesist was enlisted as full time drummer. This lineup performed and toured until just before Crafterfest 2005, when bassist Erle Pavlis left the band. Soon after his departure, Rohan Dodds of the soon to be deceased hardcore juggernaught Hitlist joined on bass duties. During their 4 year stint, INAB shared a stage with the likes of Darkest Hour, Mindsnare, I killed the Prom Queen, Parkway Drive, Dillinger Escape Plan, Atreyu, Unearth, Hitlist, Embodiment 12:14, A Secret Death, The Abandonment, The Rivalry, Raised Fist, The Collapse and As I lay Dying among many others. In Name and Blood decided to call it a day at the end of 2006, playing their final show at the sold out Arthouse in Melbourne on Jan 27th 2007.
