Blood Duster is a deathgrind/sludge metal/stoner rock band from Melbourne, Australia, known for their combination of seemingly unrelated styles of metal and their perverse humour. The band is currently enjoying some semi-mainstream success after the late 2003 release of their self-titled album and a national tour with the annual Big Day Out festival.

The band was formed in August 1991 by bass player Jason "PC" Fuller and recorded the demo "Menstrual Soup" with Anthony Barry (vocals and guitar) and a drummer known only as Brick. Blood Duster didn't play live with this line-up and soon Barry was ejected. A short-lived experimental line-up consisted of Jason P.C., Brick and newcomers Troy Darlington (guitar) and Callum Wilson (vocals). This version of the band lasted only a few months before Wilson was fired from the band and only Darlington survived long enough to handle vocals and guitar at one show. Wilson and Darlington later formed a doom metal band called Portrayal but were meanwhile replaced in Blood Duster by Tony Forde (vocals) and Brad Johnston (guitar), formerly of death metal band Hecatomb, which also supplied drummer Shane Rout. This line-up recorded 1993's Fisting the Dead a straight-forward grindcore album that featured 25 tracks in less than 15 minutes. The release of the album was followed by an Australian tour with Brutal Truth after which both Rout and Johnston left to work on Rout's side-project, a black metal band called Abyssic Hate. 1991 (MCMXCI) was a common year starting on Tuesday of the Gregorian calendar. ...

In 1995, Blood Duster produced the EP Yeest, featuring seven tracks in eight minutes and the new line-up of Forde, Fuller, guitarist Fin and drummer Matt "Rizzo" (real name: Matt Maidorn). Rizzo's stay was short and he was replaced by Euan Heriot of both Fracture and Abramelin. This version of the band produced 1997's Str8 Outta Northcote album that featured a bizarre combination of sludge metal and grind. By now the band was one of Australia's best known metal acts and beginning to develop an underground following in other countries with the release of Str8 Outta Northcote worldwide and the first two CD releases being re-issued as a double album on relapse records in the U.S. 1995 (MCMXCV) was a common year starting on Sunday of the Gregorian calendar. ...

1998 saw Blood Duster again tour Australia-wide with Brutal Truth and recording shows for a planned double live album. Heriot left the band in early 1999 and Rout returned but after a few rehearsals was replaced again by Rizzo. Fin then quit the band in early 2000 and the live album was abandoned in favour of new material featuring the line-up of Jason P.C., Tony Forde, Matt Rizzo and guitarist Matt Collins. The album entitled Cunt was released in mid-2000 and saw Blood Duster returning to a more percussive-driven grind style. Just before the release of the CD, the band added second guitarist Josh "JJ LaWhore" Nixon from Canberra doom band Pod People. 1998 (MCMXCVIII) was a common year starting on Thursday of the Gregorian calendar, and was designated the International Year of the Ocean. ... 1999 (MCMXCIX) was a common year starting on Friday, and was designated the International Year of Older Persons by the United Nations. ...

After touring with The Dwarves in 2001, Blood Duster released the "Drink, Fight, Fuck" EP which featured the track "66.6fmonyourradiodial" that was used in a television commercial for Reflex copying paper. The following year the band suffered yet another line-up shuffle when Nixon was replaced by "Beltsy", of Melbourne hardcore band Mindsnare, although Nixon provided half of the electric guitars and an acoustic guitar track on the 2003 self-titled album. This album saw Blood Duster adopting a speedy, heavy boogie-influenced style, but with Forde's death metal vocals and featured special guests including original AC/DC singer Dave Evans and all three members of Melbourne band The Spazzys.
