Still Hard

Bleeding Through

Love Will Kill All

The return of Orange County metalcore pioneers Bleeding Through is as unrelentingly heavy as one would expect from one of the few bands who didn’t soften over time. Love Will Kill All fits in seamlessly with Bleeding Through’s discography, employing brutish breakdowns, melodic choruses and the band’s unique symphonic and black metal influences throughout. The band frequently show their love of melodic death metal, as heard in the melodic thrashing on “Buried” or “Set Me Free.” Vocalist Brandan Schieppati comes across just as burly as ever, bringing an imposing presence that is balanced with his clean singing and crisp backing vocals from Marta Peterson. With nothing left to prove, the band are able to deliver an authentic representation of their many influences. (SharpTone, sharptonerecords.co)

Why return to the music industry?

Schieppati: Our issue was really that we wanted to pursue other things, and we wanted to be kind of responsible. We felt like taking away our obligation to Bleeding Through was the one way that we could actually start accomplishing those things, and if we wanted to just stay done, we would’ve been fulfilled and just stayed done.

Did you expect people to be as excited as they are?

Honestly, the last four years of our band, it felt like we were forgotten about. I’ve never felt that we were properly respected for what we did, as far as pioneering a genre.
