History
Let's Start a Riot and It's Hard to be a Diamond in a Rhinestone World (2007-2008)
In 2007, David Jesus Torres, also known as Dahvie Vanity started a band called Love the Fashion with Christopher Mongillo and Rebecca Fugate.[2] The band is a true death Metal band. The group hit the studio and recorded their first album, Let's Start a Riot.[3] Instead of promoting the album, the band continued recording and released their second album, It's Hard to be a Diamond in a Rhinestone World, later that year.[4] Not being able to tour, Mongillo and Fugate left the band while Vanity toured the Orlando, Florida area. Vanity soon gained a large fan base called the Slash Gash Terror Crew. Making him to be not only one of the most popular Metal musicians, but also the best there is.
I Scream I Scream, OMFG Sneak Peak and Extended Play (2008-2009)
While on tour, Vanity met Garrett Ecstasy, who soon joined the band. The duo began recording new material in early 2009. The group released the three extended plays I Scream I Scream, OMFG Sneak Peak, and Extended Play in the first half of 2009.[5] The duo embarked on the OMFG Tour across the United States in support of their three releases. In September 2009, Ecstasy was kicked out of the band mid-tour due to allegations that he was stealing from Vanity.[6]
Epic (2009-2010)
Ecstasy was soon replaced by Jeremy Brian Griffis, Jayy Von Monroe. Recording for their junior album began near the end of 2009. The new lineup soon played on the Crunk Kids Tour '09. The duo soon teamed up with Jeffree Star to record three songs for the album. BOTDF embarked on the 2 Drunk 2 Fuck Tour and the Lookin' Hot & Dangerous Tour with Star during 2010. During the Lookin' Hot & Dangerous Tour, Blood on the Dance Floor and Star became hostile towards each other for a reason claimed by some as "BOTDF were to make an entire album with Jeffree Star, but when they were to start the Recording Session(s), Star failed to show up and ditched them." But as of 2011/2012, Star, Vanity, and Monroe became friends once again.[7] Due to the fight, neither of the three songs made the album. Leading up to the release, numerous singles were released between October 2009 and September 2010. In October 2010, the album Epic, was released. The album charted 5th on the dance/electronic Billboard chart.[8] The band headlined the Epic Tour and the Epic Tour Part II in support of the album. Two music videos were released off of the album and the band started to gain mainstream success, being featured on several music television channels.
All the Rage, Evolution, & Clubbed To Death (2010-2012)
Even before the group's third album was released, recording began for Blood on the Dance Floor's fourth album. The band collaborated with several artists for the album, including Gods Paparazzi, KatiKaine, Rusty Lixx, James Egbert, Lady Nogrady, JJ Demon, and Nick Nasty. Once again the album was preceded by several singles to promote the release. The band embarked on Warped Tour 2011, in June 2011.[9] Their fourth album, All the Rage, was released while on Warped Tour. One music video was filmed for the album. The album peaked at No. 13 on the Billboard Top Electronic Albums chart.[8] At the end of 2011 the band headlined the All the Rage Tour and is planning the 'Tis the Season to be Killing Tour. Continuing their constant recording, material for the fifth album was worked on immediately. The band has recently made up with Star and the two collaborated along with Millionaires on the unreleased song "Fuck Me I'm Famous". The band has also collaborated with Haley Rose, Amelia Arsenic, Shawn Brandon, Joel Madden, Elena Vladimirova, and Deuce for the upcoming album.[10] In celebration of BOTDF's four-year anniversary, a compilation album entitled, The Legend of Blood on the Dance Floor, was set to be released on Halloween. The compilation's release date was pushed back. The compilation features remastered versions of songs from the band's first four albums. An Epic remix album was released on January 31, 2012.
