Blood Stain Child is a Japanese melodic death metal band with trance elements from the city of Osaka. The band formed under the name "Visionquest" in 1999, but reformed under the name Blood Stain Child in 2000.

Blood Stain Child was formed in 2000 by Ryo (vocals, bass), Ryu (guitar), Daiki (guitar), Aki (keyboards), and Violator (drums). In August of 2000, Blood Stain Child recorded their first demo, which consisted of the songs "Silence of Northern Hell", "Requiem", and "Legend of Dark". The band sent that demo to a radio station and the DJ enjoyed the music so much that he recommended the band to the record label, M&I Company, who eventually signed Blood Stain Child.

In 2001, Blood Stain Child recorded two songs, "The World" and "Steel Flame". The first song was used as the theme song for professional wrestler, Kensuke Sasaki and the second song was used as the theme song for the 30th anniversary of NJPW, a professional wrestling group. In July of 2002, Blood Stain released their debut studio album, Silence of Northern Hell. In October of 2002, Blood Stain Child was the supporting act for Dream Evil during their tour in Japan. In June of 2003, Blood Stain Child released their second studio album, Mystic Your Heart, which was co-produced by Anssi Kippo, a popular producer from Finland.
