'''Bleeding Through''' is an American [[metalcore]] band from [[Woodlake, California]], formed in 1999. Influenced largely by [[hardcore punk]] and Swedish [[melodic death metal]], the band was established by lead vocalist [[Brandan Schieppati]] as a personal project after leaving [[Throwdown (band)|Throwdown]]. Schieppati, who also was a member of [[Eighteen Visions]], originally balanced playing with Eighteen Visions and Bleeding Through, recording the independent albums ''[[Dust to Ashes]]'' (2001) and ''[[Portrait of the Goddess]]'' (2002) before departing Eighteen Visions to focus on Bleeding Through.
'''Bleeding Through''' is an American [[metalcore]] band from [[Redlands, California|Orange County]], [[California]]. Formed in 1999, the band blended influences stemming from modern [[hardcore punk]], [[symphonic black metal]], and [[melodic death metal]]. Although the band was often labeled as simply metalcore, when Brandan Schieppati was asked if he considered Bleeding Through a hardcore band, he said: "I think we're a hardcore band and I'll never say we are a metal band, we're all hardcore kids and we came from the hardcore scene. Ours is just a different version of hardcore, we're trying to do something which adds a different variety to the hardcore scene, which has been sounding the same way for so long."<ref name="Saveyourscene.com">{{cite web|title=Saveyourscene.com – Bleeding Through – Interview with Brendan (singer)|publisher=Saveyourscene.com|url=http://www.saveyourscene.com/web/view.php?table=interviews&show=11|accessdate=2007-08-04|date=2004-02-19|url-status=dead|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20120213101255/http://www.saveyourscene.com/web/view.php?table=interviews&show=11|archivedate=2012-02-13}}</ref>

The band signed with [[Trustkill Records]] in 2003; they released their breakthrough, ''[[This Is Love, This Is Murderous]]'' (2003). The band's breakthrough in the music industry involved receiving attention in an unusual way. Rather than experiencing immediate success with ''This Is Love, This Is Murderous'', they received considerable media attention outside of the heavy metal community for their involvement in a van crash accidentally filmed on live television in December 2003. ''This Love'' was critically lauded and was followed by ''[[The Truth (Bleeding Through album)|The Truth]]'' (2006) and ''[[Declaration (Bleeding Through album)|Declaration]]'' (2008), both through Trustkill.

The release of ''Declaration'' was marred by financial hardship and conflicts with Trustkill; following the completion of the touring cycle for the album, the band severed ties with the label and signed to [[Rise Records]] in 2009. They released two albums through Rise, ''[[Bleeding Through (album)|Bleeding Through]]'' (2010) and ''[[The Great Fire (album)|The Great Fire]]'' (2012), before the group disbanded in 2014. They remained inactive for three years before reuniting in 2017, releasing their latest album ''[[Love Will Kill All (album)|Love Will Kill All]]'' (2018) through [[SharpTone Records]].

With the stylistic change, the band witnessed lineup changes.

Their 2000's demo was followed by a full-length album released through [[Prime Directive Records]] entitled ''[[Dust to Ashes]]'' in April 2001.

Bleeding Through's ''The Truth'' album was released on January 10, 2006 through Trustkill Records. The album was produced by Rob Caggiano, lead guitarist of [[Anthrax (American band)|Anthrax]].

(--Scott Danough, guitarist). "I don't think this album sounds like anything else out there right now. We're very proud of that fact." says guitarist Brian Leppke.<ref name="Loudside.com" />

Although the band was often labeled as simply metalcore, when Brandan Schieppati was asked if he considered Bleeding Through a hardcore band, he said: "I think we're a hardcore band and I'll never say we are a metal band, we're all hardcore kids and we came from the hardcore scene. Ours is just a different version of hardcore, we're trying to do something which adds a different variety to the hardcore scene, which has been sounding the same way for so long."<ref name="Saveyourscene.com">{{cite web|title=Bleeding Through – Interview with Brendan (singer)|website=Save your scene |url=http://www.saveyourscene.com/web/view.php?table=interviews&show=11|access-date=August 4, 2007|date=February 19, 2004|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120213101255/http://www.saveyourscene.com/web/view.php?table=interviews&show=11|archive-date=February 13, 2012}}</ref>

Bleeding Through is an American metalcore band from Woodlake, California, formed in 1999. Influenced largely by hardcore punk and Swedish melodic death metal, the band was established by lead vocalist Brandan Schieppati as a personal project after leaving Throwdown. Schieppati, who also was a member of Eighteen Visions, originally balanced playing with Eighteen Visions and Bleeding Through, recording the independent albums Dust to Ashes (2001) and Portrait of the Goddess (2002) before departing Eighteen Visions to focus on Bleeding Through.

The band signed with Trustkill Records in 2003; they released their breakthrough, This Is Love, This Is Murderous (2003). The band's breakthrough in the music industry involved receiving attention in an unusual way. Rather than experiencing immediate success with This Is Love, This Is Murderous, they received considerable media attention outside of the heavy metal community for their involvement in a van crash accidentally filmed on live television in December 2003. This Love was critically lauded and was followed by The Truth (2006) and Declaration (2008), both through Trustkill.

The release of Declaration was marred by financial hardship and conflicts with Trustkill; following the completion of the touring cycle for the album, the band severed ties with the label and signed to Rise Records in 2009. They released two albums through Rise, Bleeding Through (2010) and The Great Fire (2012), before the group disbanded in 2014. They remained inactive for three years before reuniting in 2017, releasing their latest album Love Will Kill All (2018) through SharpTone Records.

In 2004, Revolver magazine hailed Bleeding Through as one of eight bands ushering in the "Future of Metal" cover story,[1] and Spin called Bleeding Through an "artist to watch" in the magazine's February 2004 issue.[2]

History

[edit]

Dust to Ashes and Portrait of the Goddess (1999–2002)

[edit]

Bleeding Through was formed in 1999 in Orange County, California.[3][4] The band's origins trace back to 1998, when a band named Breakneck was founded by vocalist Brandan Schieppati, guitarists Javier Van Huss and Scott Danough, bass guitarist Chad Tafolla, and drummer Troy Born.[5][6] Breakneck played only one live performance, opening for Throwdown and Adamantium.[6][7] Established as a hardcore punk act, the band began to explore a more metallic musical direction after their only show, and felt it necessary at that time to change their band name.[6] The origin of the band's name was explained in an interview as follows: "Well, it is summed up by the explanation that whether black, white, red, brown, yellow, religious preference, straight or gay, we all bleed the same, and we bleed through this life the same. Thus Bleeding Through."[8]

With the stylistic change, the band witnessed lineup changes. Van Huss was the first departure; he was briefly replaced by guitarist Dave Peters,[7] before Tafolla switched from playing bass to guitar. Brandon Conway came in as new bassist until the subsequent recruitment of Marc Jackson.[7] Jackson and Danough had previously played in the band Refuge together in the early 1990s.[9]

In February 2000, Bleeding Through recorded five songs using a 4-track recorder in Born's bedroom, which were released as the band's demo.[10][7] The demo was followed by their debut full-length album, Dust to Ashes, released through Prime Directive Records on March 20, 2001. Just prior to entering the studio, Vijay Kumar took the bass position and Molly Street joined as a keyboard player.[5] The addition of keyboards was an unconventional move for a metalcore act, as it brought black metal influences into the music.[11][12]

Four months prior to the album being released, Born quit the band. He was quickly replaced by Derek Youngsma, who had previously played in Cast in Stone,[5] as well as in Daggers with Danough.[9] Less than a month after Dust to Ashes was released, the band signed a two-album and one-EP contract with Indecision Records in April 2001.[13][14] In August 2001, following the band's first tour, Tafolla left the band and was replaced by Brian Leppke.[15] Severing ties with Eighteen Visions, Schieppati opted to pursue Bleeding Through as a priority upon completion of the Indecision Records 2002 offering Portrait of the Goddess.[5] At this juncture, the group comprised the guitar pairing of Danough and Brian Leppke, bassist Mick Morris (replacing Kumar) and Youngsma.[5]

This Is Love, This Is Murderous (2003–2005)

[edit]

After these two relatively under-distributed albums,[16] Bleeding Through signed to a larger label, Trustkill Records, in 2003.[17] Their third full-length album, the Ulrich Wild-produced This is Love, This is Murderous, was released that September.[18] They embarked upon tours across the United States, first opening for AFI,[19] followed by the ill-fated Pure Hatred tour with Chimaira, Soilwork and As I Lay Dying.[20] These dates had propelled the band to national attention not because of the initial reception of their music, but because of an accident captured by live television crews which happened to involve the band.[21] Traveling from Utah to a show in Colorado, the group's tour van hit black ice on the highway, spinning out of control and slamming into a truck that was already flipped over. A mobile TV unit reporting for Salt Lake City's KSL-TV was present to report on another crash, but ended up catching the band's collision on film as their equipment trailer rolled and exploded, showering their instruments and gear across the road.[20][22] The band escaped with only minor injuries; however, with their gear and vehicle destroyed, the group was forced to drop off the tour.[20] The dramatic televised footage was broadcast everywhere from CNN's Headline News, Good Morning America, NBC News and even The Weather Channel.[21]

This Is Love, This Is Murderous received generally favorable reviews from the mainstream media; Allmusic reviewer Eduardo Rivadavia wrote that the band's "blindingly technical execution" made the record consistently entertaining,[23] while CMJ New Music Report lauded the band's ambitious and seamless integration of black metal elements into the album's sound.[18] Punknews.org highlighted the album's frequent "dueling guitars".[24] The videos for "Love Lost in a Hail of Gun Fire" and "On Wings of Lead" became staples on MTV2's Headbangers Ball and on Fuse TV's Uranium as well.[25] It quickly became Bleeding Through's most successful album, with more than 125,000 copies sold by January 2006.[26]

The band began 2004 with the Mutilation Tour,[27] which culminated in a sold-out homecoming performance at The Glasshouse in Orange County. This date was captured on a live DVD, titled This Is Live, This Is Murderous.[1] Later that year, the band toured with Ozzfest, sharing the second stage alongside headline act Slipknot and fellow supports Unearth, Lamb of God, Every Time I Die, Hatebreed, Lacuna Coil and Atreyu.[28] They earned the direct support position on MTV2's third Headbangers Ball: The Tour in November, featuring Cradle of Filth, Arch Enemy and Himsa as touring partners.[29] Bleeding Through also donated their rendition of "Rocket Queen" to the Guns N' Roses tribute album Bring You to Your Knees released by Law of Inertia Records in March 2004.[citation needed] A 2005 re-issue of This Is Love, This Is Murderous added three bonus live tracks, "Revenge I Seek", "Rise" and "Our Enemies", two music videos and a ten-minute documentary.[30] Following this, the band embarked upon a European tour in February 2005, supported by Cult of Luna.[31]

The Truth (2005–2007)

[edit]

In April, the group entered Cherokee Studios with producer and then-Anthrax guitarist Rob Caggiano. Together, they began work on a new album titled The Truth.[25] As This Is Love, This Is Murderous passed the 100,000 sales figure in the US,[32] further touring found the band headlining the second annual Strhess Fest in alliance with Darkest Hour, Zao, Misery Signals, and Fight Paris commencing early July.[33] Upon completion of these gigs the group joined the Warped Tour for a two-week stretch.[34] November saw shows with Day of Contempt,[35] before the group entered the recording studio to record cover versions of Black Flag's "My War", for use on a tribute album, and Unbroken's "Fall On Proverb".[36]

The Truth was released on January 10, 2006, through Trustkill. The band decided to rebuild their sound from the ground up; Danough told Alternative Press that the band's approach involved "Taking out the Metalcore, and then adding the metal into hardcore, if that makes any sense," while Leppke added, "I don't think this album sounds like anything else out there right now. We're very proud of that fact."[27]

Kerrang! declared that The Truth "is about to tear 2006 a new arsehole" in a very positive review, while Billboard hailed the album as "one of the most important" heavy metal albums of the year. Some critics were not as impressed: Vik Bansal of musicOMH described it as an album that shows "whilst they're not quite there yet, Bleeding Through do have the ability to become bleeding edge",[37] while Rivadavia criticized the lyrical content for "[playing] it safe" with "infuriatingly one-dimensional reliance on victimized, self-pitying lyrics of a middle school maturity level".[38] On the contrary, Stylus praised the improvement of production, recording, and mixing quality by Caggiano, and the melodic approach to songwriting.[39] The album entered the Billboard 200 at No. 48,[40] and No. 1 on the Top Independent Albums.

To promote The Truth, the band opened 2006 with US dates throughout February and March backed by Every Time I Die, Between the Buried and Me and Haste the Day.[41] The band also put in a significant appearance on the second stage at the UK's Download Festival in Castle Donington on June 9.[42] On July 18, Bleeding Through appeared on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno. Stand-up comedian Mitch Fatel joined the band for a song.[43]

The group once again played on the second stage at the 2006 Ozzfest, now as part of the year's permanent lineup along with Black Label Society, Unearth, Atreyu and Norma Jean.[44] During days Ozzfest was not performing, Bleeding Through played shows supporting Disturbed, Avenged Sevenfold and Hatebreed.[45] The band members were on a day off from the festival passing through Medford, Oregon, when they pulled into a Taco Bell parking lot to eat. This resulted in a fan recognizing them and then calling over a bunch of his friends. The band talked with the fans, signed autographs, posed for pictures and also asked the kids if there were any shows happening that night they could participate in. They ended up doing a small club concert with local bands, with roughly 150 people in attendance. The show was a benefit with all proceeds going toward cancer research.[45]

Bleeding Through headlined the Darkness Over Europe 2007 Tour with I Killed The Prom Queen, All Shall Perish, and Caliban from February to March.[46] It would be Danough's final tour with the band, as the two parties agreed to mutually part ways in April. According to a statement released by the band, Danough and the other members "had grown apart and it was time for both parties to move on".[47] Danough was quickly replaced by Jona Weinhofen of I Killed The Prom Queen – one of several factors that led that band to disband.[48] The band then toured as the opening act for the Slayer and Marilyn Manson summer tour.[49] Following that, the group embarked on a six-week stint across the North America opening for HIM, finishing the touring cycle for The Truth on December 1 and 2, 2007.[50]

Declaration (2008–2009)

[edit]

In March 2008, Bleeding Through announced Declaration as the title of its fifth studio release, a concept album about the rigors of being away from home.[51] The band's frontman and lyricist Brandan Schieppati explained to Revolver in the magazine's May 2008 issue, "There are definitely places when we're traveling where every time we go there, we're like, 'Fuck, why do we have to be here?' Like, we'll be in France and all of a sudden we'll feel totally insignificant. You get the feeling that people's eyes are just burning a hole through you."[51] The group recorded Declaration in Vancouver with producer Devin Townsend.[52]

On June 6, 2008, the band released a blog on MTV's Headbangers Ball website, addressing numerous disappointments the band had with Trustkill Records. These disappointments included unpaid royalties, lack of funding for Declaration, and an unapproved re-release of The Truth titled The Complete Truth. Despite Trustkill's website saying that the new album, Declaration would be released August 2008, the band stated that they did not intend to hand over the master recording of the album until they were paid the minimum fees required to pay back Townsend, the band's management, and Schieppati's father who loaned the band money for recording.[53] According to the statement, the band had suggested their own vision of an extended re-release of the album over a year prior, but Trustkill owner Josh Grabelle rejected the idea. However, when Trustkill ran into financial difficulties, Grabelle pushed for the re-release without any input from the band in an effort to stabilize.[53] In a follow-up blog on their MySpace page, Bleeding Through stated that "Trustkill Records delivered the funds necessary to complete the album and to compensate everyone who had loaned [us] cash."[54]

Following the recording of Declaration, the group returned to the United Kingdom for Download Festival, which was held from June 13–15, 2008 at Donington Park.[55] During the festival, vocalist Brandan Schieppati spoke to Rock Sound TV about the group's dispute with its record label. During the conversation, Schieppati revealed that Bleeding Through had been contacted by a number of other record companies since the band went public with its Trustkill feud.[56] In July 2008, the band signed a European distribution deal with Nuclear Blast for the release of Declaration.[57]

The band performed in the No Fear Music Tour with Bullet for My Valentine across the US in August 2008. This included a stop in Mexico City in August as part of the Warped Tour with Underoath and MxPx, which was Bleeding Through's first ever show in Mexico.[58] On September 25, 2008, Machine Head frontman Robb Flynn joined the band on stage at The Warfield in San Francisco, and performed Bleeding Through's song "Revenge I Seek".[59] The next day, Declaration was released in Europe by Nuclear Blast, and a US release followed on September 30 through Trustkill. The album sold under 6,000 copies in the United States in its first week of release,[60] debuting at number 104 on the Billboard 200 chart.[61] The band then accompanied Bullet for My Valentine throughout Europe with Lacuna Coil in November and December. The European tour featured four headlining shows in Russia in December, the band's first performances there.[58]

Bleeding Through co-headlined the Thrash and Burn European Tour with Darkest Hour between April and May 2009.[62] Declaration's main promotional tour, simply titled The Declaration Tour, began after Thrash and Burn. Bleeding Through was supported by As Blood Runs Black, Impending Doom, and the Acacia Strain.[63] Guitarist Brian Leppke was unable to join this tour, resulting in Demon Hunter's Patrick Judge temporarily filling in for him. In late May 2009, Bleeding Through announced that Weinhofen would be leaving the band, and No Use for a Name guitarist Dave Nassie would replace him. Weinhofen cited that while he loved his time in Bleeding Through, he decided that he should leave the band and return home to Australia with his family and friends. Following his departure, Weinhofen joined Bring Me the Horizon.[64]

In early June 2009, Bleeding Through signed a deal with the Portland, Oregon-based independent record label Rise Records. Insinuating about the band's previous dispute with its former label Trustkill, Schieppati said, "We're very excited to align with a record label that has so much momentum and is growing when many seem to be faltering, dropping bands and firing employees."[65] The band finished 2009 with a special tour of the American west coast in August to celebrate their tenth anniversary. They were supported by Carnifex, Miss May I, and Motionless in White.[66]

Bleeding Through (2009–2010)

[edit]

On October 12, 2009, Bleeding Through issued a statement that they would be starting work on a new album in December, with the goal of releasing it in 2010. They also announced a tour of Europe with Machine Head, Hatebreed and All Shall Perish.[67] The self-titled record was self-titled and released by Rise Records on April 13, 2010, in North America and internationally through Roadrunner Records.[68] The album was produced by Zeuss.

Bleeding Through toured heavily throughout 2010. They began by accompanying their European tourmates to Japan and Australia, followed by their own headlining tour of the US, titled Spring Breakdown, with Born Of Osiris and Sleeping Giant. The band returned to Europe for several festivals and a few headlining shows. The group released a music video for the song "Anti-Hero". In August 2010 the group headlined the California United tour of the American west coast with Terror and The Ghost Inside. The following month, they headlined the Anti-Hero Tour across the US with support from For Today and After The Burial. After that, they joined Parkway Drive and Comeback Kid for the European Never Say Die! tour. The band closed out 2010 with an appearance at the Noise for Toyz benefit show in Fullerton, California, and released an iTunes / digital only single through Rise Records which was recorded during the sessions for the self-titled album.[clarification needed]

The Great Fire, disbandment announcement and final tours (2010–2014)

[edit]

The band planned to write and record their seventh studio album once they returned from touring for Bleeding Through. They planned to release the yet to be titled album in the second half of 2011, which bassist Ryan Wombacher explained in a November 2010 interview: "Maybe mid-year; safe to say towards the end but not at the end, maybe like eight months or something like that. [...] There is no deadline right now, we don't have any dates set, we don't have the studio, we're going to do the record ourselves. So we will literally go in and record it and it will be probably be done before we sign a contract."[69]

On November 14, 2011, the band announced that the name of their new record would be called The Great Fire.[70] On November 30, 2011, the band announced that "The Great Fire" was complete, although no release date has been stated.[71] On December 14, 2011, the band revealed The Great Fire would be released on January 31, 2012.[72]

On January 3, 2013, the band announced their upcoming tour in Europe would be their last, leading to rumors that the band would be breaking up. This was later confirmed by a post on the band's Facebook page that they would be finished at the end of the year.[73] The band also stated that they would like to set up an Australian tour during the summer and singer Brandan Schieppati stated in a reply to an Instagram comment that the band would have a final U.S. tour possibly starting in September. November 2013 the band announced final west coast dates will take place in 2014.

Former guitarist and founding member Scott Danough played with the band on the final tours in Australia, Europe and the US. He was added to the band's official lineup on their Facebook page in July 2014, leading to speculation that he had rejoined Bleeding Through.[74] The band's first performance in 2014 was an appearance at New England Hardcore & Metal Fest at the Worcester Palladium on April 17. This lineup included Schieppati, Danough, Wombacher, Peterson, Youngsma, and Nassie's final appearance with the band in 2014.[75] In May, the final nine west coast dates were announced with Winds of Plague and Scars of Tomorrow. A majority of the shows the band played were sold out.[76][77] It was later announced in June that the first three of the west coast dates would be performing with the This Is Love, This Is Murderous lineup, which included Leppke on guitar for the first time live since 2010.[78] The shows in Sacramento, Portland and Seattle featured Weinhofen as a guest. In July, another show on August 2 was added at Chain Reaction because the tour's final show sold out, which took place the following day. Schieppati, impressed by how enjoyable the final performances were, later remarked that the band could be active again in the future.[79]

On January 1, SharpTone Records issued a teaser for music they were releasing in 2018 and some listeners apparently recognized vocalist Brandan Schiepatti's voice on their page.[80] On March 28, 2018, the band announced their new album, "Love Will Kill All" and will release on May 25 through SharpTone Records.[81]

On July 1, 2022, a new EP was released entitled 'Rage' and would be available on all streaming platforms, after a single with the same title was released May 20.[82]

On December 18, Brandan teased the recording of new material following an Instagram post with the caption, "Just riffing away! Working on some dark new songs."[83]

The band have played a range of shows across the United States throughout 2022 and 2023, including the first night of a celebratory lineup marking Indecision Records' 30th anniversary.[84]

On April 21, 2023, Bleeding Through released a new song titled "War Time".

On August 16, 2023, the band released a re-recorded version of "Love Lost in a Hail of Gun Fire" to commemorate the 20th anniversary of This Is Love, This Is Murderous. During the same recording sessions, the band also re-recorded the songs "On Wings of Lead" and "Number Seven with a Bullet".[85] The re-recorded version of "On Wings of Lead" was released later that year on November 24.[86]

In 2024, Bleeding Through toured heavily and released two new songs titled "Our Brand Is Chaos" and "Dead But So Alive", along with accompanying music videos.

Musical style, influences and lyrical themes

[edit]

Bleeding Through's music has been described as metalcore, expanding their hardcore punk roots into death metal territory.[87] Like many metalcore bands, Bleeding Through is influenced by Swedish melodic death metal.[88][89] It is the most apparent on Dust to Ashes, while with time the band's music got gradually more and more melodic, with The Truth being the most melodic to date, even containing a power ballad, a novelty for the band.[90] A keyboard player was introduced shortly before the band began performing as an unsigned act. According to former guitarist Scott Danough "it adds a different element" to their music.[91]

Former guitarist Scott Danough has said that he is influenced by metal and hardcore bands, like At the Gates, Slayer, Cradle of Filth, Integrity and Earth Crisis.[91] Vocalist Brandan Schieppati has mentioned American thrash metal bands as an influence on Bleeding Through, such as Testament or Exodus.[92] In an interview, guitarist Brian Leppke added Cro-Mags, Entombed, Crowbar and Pantera to the list of influences.[93] Keyboardist Marta Peterson is the one who brings industrial and goth inspirations to the band's sound.[94]

Although the band was often labeled as simply metalcore, when Brandan Schieppati was asked if he considered Bleeding Through a hardcore band, he said: "I think we're a hardcore band and I'll never say we are a metal band, we're all hardcore kids and we came from the hardcore scene. Ours is just a different version of hardcore, we're trying to do something which adds a different variety to the hardcore scene, which has been sounding the same way for so long."[95]

Lyrical themes focuses such themes as pain, hate, loss, love and personal struggles.
