Bleeding Through – Nine
Sharp Tone Records
8,5/10,0
Brief:
After 25 years, eight albums, and countless gigs, Bleeding Through persists as a tried-and-true outlier in heavy music and culture. The Southern California stalwarts wield an enigmatic and unmistakable signature sound born at the crossroads of no-holds-barred hardcore, cutthroat thrash, and cinematic black metal.
Bleeding Through bulldozed their way out of Orange County just before the turn-of-the-century. Following Dust To Ashes [2001] and Portrait of the Goddess [2002], they delivered a classic in the form of This Is Love, This Is Murderous [2003]. They picked up the pace with The Truth. The band expanded their catalog with Declaration [2008], Bleeding Through [2010], The Great Fire [2012], and Love Will Kill All [2018].
“If you’re a fan of us, you won’t be let down. This is everything we’ve been working towards. This is the culmination of 25 years. This is Bleeding Through in its purest form.” Says Brandan Schieppati.
In the end, Bleeding Through still crush in their own way without comparison.
