Bleeding Through
Bleeding Through
3.9/5
Listen To: Breathing In The Wrath
Skip It: Light My Eyes
Bleeding Through’s latest self-titled album is another testament of the band’s boundary crossing sound. Throaty hardcore vocals and heavy power chord structures team up with extreme metal riffing, blast-beat drums, melodic singing and symphonic keyboards to round out a sound far from being simply metal-hardcore.
“A Resurrection” lays out the symphonic foundation for the record with layered violins and keyboards, before bursting into the face-slapping blast-beat and speed metal riff of “Anti-Hero.” All this within two minutes of the disc's opening, and then “Anti-Hero” merges into a hardcore anthem complete with circle-pit inducing triplet drums upholding echoey chants of I’ve Seen Enough of You … I’ve Heard Enough of You scorching over low palm-muted power chords. “Your Abandonment,” “Breathing In The Wrath” and “Fifteen Minutes” follow similar structures with heavy, pace-slowing guitar bludgeons supporting explosive battle cries.
The shape-shifting Bleeding Through also displays progressive metal techniques throughout the album. From the lightning fast guitar solo in “Fifteen Minutes,” to the blast-beat exposé that is “This Time Nothing Is Sacred,” the band displays thrash and black-metal influences jetting out of their hardcore centre.
If that isn’t enough, Bleeding Through also rocks a symphonic-metal sound through a distortion-dissecting keyboard illuminating over massive riffs. In “Slow Your Roll” and “Distortion, Devotion” the synthesized sound grabs your attention by accentuating the chord changes with refreshing bursts of high tones.
Bleeding Through’s sound on this disc punches across that they are not easily defined. If you’re looking for a distinct, experimental sound masked by massively heavy metal-hardcore, you should listen to this.
