Am I Blood, formerly St. Mucus, is a thrash metal band from Kerava, Finland. The band was formed in 1992 with future Amorphis frontman Pasi Koskinen, who was the band's original singer. They parted with Koskinen in 1995, a month before recording their debut album, Natural Mutation, as St. Mucus. The band is mistaken, particularly on the internet, for Metallica, who are arguably a strong influence on the band's music.

The band began recording their fifth and latest album, Existence of Trauma, with a new guitarist and drummer in mid-2008. The band's official MySpace blog revealed that lead songwriter and vocalist Janne Kerminen began writing material for the album in early 2007. The Truth Inside the Dying Sun, the band's fourth album, was available to download freely at ReverbNation ahead of the new album's release.
