Bleeding Through know a thing or two about staying power. While they’ve certainly seen the ups and downs in the music industry (and indeed, their own career), Bleeding Through have also managed to revitalize the black metal + symphonic influences that permeated their metalcore sound. With albums as good as Declaration and 2018’s Love Will Kill All under the collective belts, they’re not simply a nostalgia act looking to copy the past. In fact, given how good the latter record was, they may well have some killer material left for us.
That makes their new song, “Rage”, such a seething proposition. I mean, aren’t we all angry and upset about the events of the last couple years? Judging by the title alone as well as the song’s overall sound, it’s clear Bleeding Through are right there with us.
About the new song, vocalist Brandan Schieppati says, “screaming into a microphone and playing music with my friends after 20 plus years and after a pandemic seemed like an impossibility. Low and behold here we are creating music again. Personally the last few years has been a total mental battle. This music is my weapon against doubt and depression. The song Rage was created with the anger and frustration built up over the last few years. This song is us joining the fight to have music heal a struggling world. Rage is the sound of 20 plus years as a band and years of built up aggression. No bullshit. Straight up BLEEDING THROUGH.”
