There are two bands that share this name:

#1.
Critically acclaimed as a “superstar line-up” death metal outfit, the band is the brainchild of Anders Nyström (Katatonia, Diabolical Masquerade), Jonas Renkse (Katatonia, October Tide), Dan Swanö (Edge of Sanity, Nightingale, etc, etc), and Mikael Åkerfeldt (Opeth). The whole project indeed was the upshot of one rip-roaring night and intended to reinvent old school death metal.

Åkerfeldt left Bloodbath after “Resurrection Through Carnage” because of his duties in his primary band Opeth. Peter Tägtgren (Hypocrisy, Pain, The Abyss) replaced Mikael and did vocals for the “Nightmares Made Flesh” release.

Mikael Åkerfeldt helped the band out at Wacken Open Air 2005, after his replacement (on “Nightmares Made Flesh”), Mr. Peter Tägtgren (Hypocrisy, Pain, The Abyss) parted the band. This ‘Wacken Carnage DVD’ as it has been called since then was not released for a long time as it remained shrouded in legal and copyright disputes.

This show was their one-and-only live performance upto 2008, since in August 2006, Dan Swanö was asked to amicably leave Bloodbath (due to “restrictions on his behalf to devote more time and effort to the future of this project that it would require by taking things to the next level i.e. touring and playing live”, and his future vision for Bloodbath’s concept heading “in the almost opposite direction as his desire for death metal was to be of a less brutal kind”).

Even though Peter Tätgren left the band, this new album could've been made by Hypocrisy. This is not neccesarily a bad thing but what made Bloodbath unique for me was songs like Bathe in Blood and Furnace Funeral. They seem to have forgotten that evil music can sound very happy. Whatever happened to the groove people?
