Interview: Fighting Words – Talking Blood of the Bull with Danny Leal (Vocals) of Upon A Burning Body

Carl Fisher 1 min read

Groove metal Texans, Upon a Burning Body, are back with their brand-new album, ‘Blood of the Bull’. Released on December 5th, 2025.

On the one hand, Upon a Burning Body keep it really simple here. Delivering a bevy of riff-based groove-infused metal with slamming tendencies. Whereas on the other hand, this is up there as one of their most experimental releases to date. Finding the band exploring metalcore territories and delivering poppier choruses. It’s a fascinating listen, thirty-odd minutes of varied, but familiar, metal that has plenty of banging moments, with just the occasional misstep here and there.

We spoke to vocalist Danny Leal about the new album and how Upon A Burning Body are in a much better place now they have gone independent. We talk about their evolution, the challenges around touring abroad, and much more.
