Blood from the Soul is a British industrial metal and grindcore project centered on Napalm Death bassist Shane Embury. The debut album To Spite the Gland That Breeds (Earache Records, 1993), featuring Sick of It All vocalist Lou Koller, was a solo creation by Embury that fused grindcore, punk, and industrial textures alongside contemporaries Godflesh, Meathook Seed, and Scorn. After a lengthy hiatus, Embury reformed the project in 2020 with vocalist Jacob Bannon (Converge), drummer Dirk Verbeuren (Megadeth), and bassist Jesper Liveröd (Nasum), releasing the follow-up DSM-5 that same year.
