Bleeding Through - Declaration

This was the fifth studio album by these crucial Metalcore attackers - Bleeding Through released in 2008 by well known Trust Kill Records. It was also the first album for Bleeding Through worked with their new guitar player ; Jona Weinhofen ex-member of I Killed The Prom Queen after the departure of founding member Scott Danough. The album is a thinly veiled blast of hatred towards the powers that be channeled through 12 tracks of thunderous, beastly hardcore full of aggression, desperation and dissatisfaction. Chaotic drumming, backed by the intense guitars, they have songs that will remind you of their previous work but they have also incorporated more death and black metal influences into the mix this time. They've always had a gothic sound to them but the keyboards were never really fleshed out enough to show this.Bleeding Through is always at their best when they're playing fast and thrashy, with galloping riffs and angry lyrics. On the previous efforts, vocalist Brandan Schieppati’s shout was often distorted, but this time he comes through clean and clear. There’s also some singing that shows up in the chorus of the songs “Sister Chalatan”, “Death Anxiety” and in the ballad “The Loving Memory of England”, which is nothing but a clean guitar tone and Brandans lone voice.
All in all, after six years kicking around the scene, here it come, their latest effort which show people that you can be heavy and not sound like everyone else in Metalcore genre.
