Bruce Fitzhugh is the second and best known lead vocalist, rhythm guitarist and founding member of Arkansas's Christian metal band Living Sacrifice.[1] The lead vocalist role was left to Bruce shortly after the departure of former lead Darren Johnson and prior to the recording of Living Sacrifice's 1997 album, Reborn. Fitzhugh is featured in Zao's The Lesser Lights of Heaven DVD. Fitzhugh's nephew is Drew Garrison, Vocalist for Descended From Wolves.
He has been involved in many other music endeavors such as producing The Showdown's debut album, A Chorus Of Obliteration.[2] He also produced albums for Zao,[3] Further Seems Forever,[4] Few Left Standing,[5] and Eso-Charis.[6] He is also a guest vocalist on Demon Hunter's album Storm the Gates of Hell on the song "Sixteen".[7]
In 2015, Fitzhugh stated in an interview with Mark Salomon, that Living Sacrifice is currently writing new music.[8] Fitzhugh, along with Demon Hunter guitarist and Showdown bassist, Jeremiah Scott, wrote two songs titled "Made for War" and "Defend the Crown" for the Killing Floor 2 Soundtrack.[9] In 2015, Fitzhugh, along with Travis Turner (ex-Aletheian, Solamors) and Alex Kenis (ex-Becoming the Archetype, Aletheian, Solamors), recorded a cover of Megadeth's "Holy Wars... The Punishment Due" cover in honor of the 25th anniversary of the song.[10][11] Fitzhugh owned a label titled: "Seize the Day Records".[12]
