Bloodshot (The Choir album)
album by The Choir
Bloodshot is the 17th studio release, and 15th full-length studio album, by alternative rock band the Choir, released in 2018. This was the final studio album to feature bass guitarist Tim Chandler, who died in October that same year.
Background
The four years that followed the release of Shadow Weaver were a tumultuous period for the band, particularly for lead singer and guitarist Derri Daugherty and drummer and lyricist Steve Hindalong. Daugherty temporarily relocated from Nashville, Tennessee to Cerritos, California, to take care of his ailing father until his death in 2017. Hindalong's 34-year marriage, frequently addressed in many of the band's songs, finally ended in divorce. Guitarist Marc Byrd and his wife Christine Glass Byrd, the latter of whom provided background vocals on several of the Choir's studio albums, left the band permanently. And bassist Tim Chandler's health began to decline, and he died just four months after the release of this album.
Despite their personal turmoil, Daugherty and Hindalong were highly productive during this period. Daugherty recorded two new solo albums, Hush Sorrow (2016) and The Color of Dreams (2019). In addition, he re-released the 2002 EP A Few Unfinished Songs with six additional tracks in 2015.
