Album Description
In the roughly four years since their inception, this Orange County outfit's musically muscular intimidation, clearly focused purpose and irrepressible drive has allowed Bleeding Through to savagely claw their way up from the hardcore underground and quickly become a force to be reckoned with across several genres. Bleeding Through has arrived to stake their claim as heir to the legacy of the heavy metal forefathers of yore. Just take one listen to the tightly wound, convincingly proficient, brutally pummeling and absolutely devastating sound of "This Is Love, This Is Murderous" and there'll be no need for further convincing. Imagine the heaviness of Meshuggah, the fierce yet melodic sensibilities of In Flames and the undeniable credibility of Hatebreed, and you may begin to formulate some idea of what this band can do. On the strength of this masterpiece, you'll soon see Bleeding Through's dark, Samhain like image, uplifting and engaging stage persona and blackened and New-Wave-of-Swedish-Heavy-Metal-charged devastation attack your town.

Customer Reviews

Bleeding Through does it again...
With "This is Love, This is Murderous", Bleeding Through has proven that they are here to stay. Another awesome album.

Musically, they have gotten much better. While their older albums were awesome, some songs got a little repetitive, and it seemed at times like they were playing the same chaotic stuff over and over. This time, the guitar riffs are much more defined, there are nice break-downs in the song where the mind-numbing brutality slows down for a few seconds, and the singer now does much more than just screaming. Also, the keyboard is much more involved, whereas she barely seemed needed on the last album.

I haven't listened to it enough to say whether or not it is better than their other two albums. At this point I would say no, "Portrait" is just an insane album and I don't think this tops it, but again, I have to listen to this one more.

They've gone just a bit away from the hardcore stuff and have gotten slightly more melodic. To some of you that may be good, to some bad, depending on your taste.

I think Bleeding Through is the best heavy band out there right now, I can't wait to see them on tour with AFI, and I suggest that you all check this album out!

INTENSITY,BEAUTY,METAL
Bleeding Through may at times appear to be a corny band by image,
they look like a bunch of gothic high-school kids.But I saw a clip of these guys live in a concert going nut's and gettin pit's
goin in some club and new I wanted to hear more.So my freind burn
-ed me a copy of this disc and I can't get enough.This band is
among one of the greatest band's I know of especially in the new
breed of American Heavy Metal speer-headed by bands like Lamb Of
God,Shadow's Fall,Killswitch Engage,Chimaira,e.t.c these guys
have great chemistry and know what they're doing with killer
riff's,solo's,blast beats,insane double bass,and insane vocals
from the former eighteen visions guitar player.This band can go
toe to toe with anyone and number 7 the opening riff is like a
clone of the one on Slayer's classic Raining Blood.Track #'s 1,4
,7,6 are standouts but all are good.Going on tour with Chimaira,
Soilwork,and AS I Lay Dying.I think Bleeding Through will kick
all there asses,YEAH THATS HOW GOOD THEY ARE....

One of the best Metalcore bands
This Is Love, This Is Murderous is, in my opinion, Bleeding Through's best effort to date. It has the best sound, the best lyrics, and best vocals. When I heard this album for the first time about a year or so ago, I couldnt wait for their next. Then when "The Truth" did come out, I was somewhat disappointed. They took a turn in the more generic Metalcore direction. Its more commercial. Sure, its still a decent album, but just not as good as this one. This album doesnt have that. Neither to their other first two.

Now, this album is not a masterpiece by any means. What this album does lack is the keyboard sounds. Which are a strong point on "The Truth". I mean, if you have a keyboardist, then use her! Some songs lack inspiration. They just sound the same...I dont know why bands would do that. Its like an over use of the Death Metal blast beat, except with groove guitar riffs being over used. What I do like about this album are the vocals most especially. Branden is a great vocalist, and he really can LEAD the band along. If you want to hear how Metalcore should be played then buy this album. Its a Metalcore classic.
