Blood Music is the second and final studio album by British shoegaze band Chapterhouse. Early copies of this album, as well as North American and Japanese editions, include the bonus remix CD Pentamerous Metamorphosis by Global Communication. Cherry Red re-issued the album in 2008, prefaced by songs from the "Mesmerise" and "We Are The Beautiful" CD singles.
The album has a more pronounced electronic sound than its predecessor. Many producers contributed to the album. According to guitarist Simon Rowe, while the band's first album, Whirlpool, "originally had a very raw feel" and was made as an attempt by the band to sound like The Stooges live, Blood Music was "a different concept altogether". It has a lot more dance music influences that mainly came into play from vocalist/guitarist Andrew Sherrif.
Ira Robbins, in Trouser Press, wrote: "Another tuneful delight in a different kitchen, Blood Music hustles and bustles, putting emphatic rhythms into songs that could have been cut from the first albumâÂÂs sparkling pop cloth."
The US Limited Edition includes a bonus disc containing two remixes of We Are The Beautiful, Frost and Picnic.
