Blood On Your Hands

"Blood On Your Hands" is the sixth and final single from British Electro-pop act Darren Clarke's debut album Made Of Ice. It was released in Japan only.

Background
Blood On Your Hands was on of the final tracks written by Darren and Richard X alongside 2 other tracks that failed to make the album. It was included on the Japanese edition of Darren's debut album after narrowly missing the cut for the main album.

Release and reception
When it came to choosing the final single, Darren chose Morphine to be the album's final international single. However with the album doing so well in Japan, he wanted to release one of the Japanese only bonus tracks as a single. It was quickly decided that Blood On Your Hands was the best choice for a single and plans were quickly put into place for its release. Upon it's release music critics in Japan were extremely positive about the song and it's release citing Blood On Your Hands to be one of the strongest (if not the strongest) track on the album. Some fans were disappointed that Japan was receiving a special single. A low key petition was set up by his fans in the UK & Europe for a release of the track but Darren and his label declined to release the track outside of Japan.

On December 6th 2015, Darren released a special digital download single of Blood On Your Hands alongside Watch Me Burn,Chooose Your Poison, Fire Will Catch You & New York Murder Weapon as a special single boxset release for his 2015 advent calendar.

Music video
A music video was filmed but has so far failed to be revealed. It is believed that Darren was unhappy with the finished result.
