Tainted Blood

Zoo Freaks, get ready to vibe with the Zoo Crew as we spin "Tainted Blood" by H.E.A.T from their killer album Force Majeure! This track is a mid-tempo rocker with a serious punch, channeling a Mötley Crüe vibe but wrapped in H.E.A.T’s signature melodic hard rock swagger. According to a review from The Rockpit, frontman Kenny Leckremo belts out, “Can’t you see? There’s a force inside of me,” and his infectious energy makes this song a standout. Critics at RAMzine noted that Leckremo’s deeper, Dio-esque roars give "Tainted Blood" a unique edge, blending classic heavy rock with a modern twist. The song’s stomping rhythm and heavy bass groove, as Flyctory.com describes, make it feel unstoppable, like a freight train of pure rock energy. Fun fact: the track’s production draws comparisons to Whitesnake and Europe, with a bluesy undertone that sets it apart from the album’s faster cuts like "Nationwide." The Zoo Crew can’t help but crank this one up for all you freaks out there!

Let’s dive into how H.E.A.T got their start. Formed in 2007 in Upplands Väsby, Sweden, this hard rock outfit emerged from the ashes of two local bands, Atlas and Dream. Guitarist Dave Dalone and keyboardist Jona Tee were the driving forces, uniting with original vocalist Kenny Leckremo, bassist Jimmy Jay, and drummer Don Crash to create a sound that married ‘80s glam metal with modern melodic rock. Their debut single, “1000 Miles,” became a massive hit in Scandinavia in 2009, earning praise from media worldwide as a top rock track. Drawing inspiration from giants like Europe and Bon Jovi, H.E.A.T quickly built a reputation for high-energy live shows and catchy, fist-pumping anthems. Despite lineup changes, including Leckremo’s departure in 2010 and return in 2020, the band has stayed true to their roots, delivering albums like Force Majeure that celebrate their love for arena-ready rock. These Swedish rockers are all about uniting young and old fans with their timeless sound.
