Bleeding Through's successes in the past have been mainly built upon their Trustkill Records debut, "This Is Love, This Is Murderous." The album produced two music videos ( "On Wings Of Lead" and "Love Lost In A Hail Of Gunfire" ) with Spin Magazine calling them an "Artist To Watch", Revolver branding them part of "The Future Of Metal", multiple accolades from Metal Hammer and Kerrang, and the much love from Alternative Press.
AFI invited Bleeding Through to open for them shortly before the album was released, which was then was followed by the band's own Mutilation Tour, Ozzfest 2004, the third annual MTV2 Headbanger's Ball: The Tour (with Cradle Of Filth ), a headlining run on the 2005 Strhess Tour, Warped Tour 2005, and shows in Europe, Australia, and Japan.
"The Truth" is the band's defining album of 2006. Stripped to their core, laid bare, like the artwork suggests - putting everything on the table with such naked honesty and painful catharsis; their bodies threaten to fall apart from the weight of the boiling passion they've laid to record.
In early 2007, guitarist Scott Danough announced he would be leaving the band. He was replaced on tour by Jona Weinhofen from I Killed the Prom Queen. The band has not yet announced their plans for finding a permanent replacement.
In early 2008 the band entered Black Cat Studio in Vancouver, British Columbia to record their latest album Declaration. It was a sudden change of style and showed a different face of the band, dealing with misanthropia and violence and showing a darker, black metal influenced approach to their music. The album was well received but sold poorly, forcing the band to drop out of Trustkill.
As of 2009, Davie Nassie has joined the band and Bleeding Through has joined forces with Rise Records.
Bleeding Through relesed their self-titled album which continued Declaration's style but sold even less copies.
In early 2012 the band released The Great Fire. At the end of the year the band announced that they are splitting up stating that "Bleeding Through was starting to become a hobby, which is unacceptable." After a farewell tour in 2013 Bleeding Through will be splitting up.
On January 3, 2013 the band announced their upcoming tour in Europe would be their last, leading to rumors that the band would be breaking up. This was later confirmed by a post on the band's Facebook page that they would be finished at the end of the year.[68] The band also stated that they would like to set up an Australian tour during the summer and singer Brandan Schieppati stated in a reply to an Instagram comment that the band would have a final U.S. tour possibly starting in September. November 2013 the band announced final west coast dates will take place in 2014.
Former guitarist and founding member Scott Danough played with the band on the final tours in Australia, Europe and the U.S. He was added to the bands current lineup as of July 2014 on their Facebook page, which is lead to believe he has rejoined Bleeding Through. The first show to kick off 2014 was their final appearance at New England Hardcore & Metal Fest at the Palladium in Worcester Massachusetts on April 17. The line up was made up of Brandan Schieppati, Scott Danough, Ryan Wombacher, Marta Peterson, Derek Youngsma and Dave Nassie's final appearance with the band in 2014. In May, the final nine west coast dates were announced with Winds of Plague and Scars of Tomorrow. A majority of the shows the band played were sold out. It was later announced in June that the first three of the west coast dates would be the "This Is Love This Is Murderous" line up which included Brian Leppke on guitar since he hasn't toured with Bleeding Through since 2010. Leppke also played the last two shows at Chain Reaction. Sacramento, Portland and Seattle shows featured Declaration era ex member Jona Weinhofen on guitar. In July another show on August 2 was added at Chain Reaction because the August 3 show sold out fast. The final show was on August 3, 2014. Brandan Schieppati said something may come from the band in the future.
As of 2018, the band is back together and has released "Love Will Kill All."

Final Hours
Bleeding Through Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You were never one of us
So run away
The end is upon us
All enemies have failed and learned their fate
To be forsaken
Defeated all trends have dug their graves
Give up our hearts
Conform to be just like them
You're just like them
You tried to pull the wool over our eyes
Sacrificing all things that were true
Turned your back on all things that were true
So much was sacred now lost in the past
Everything destructive points back at you
Say goodbye to sweet death
And the perfect isolation that we had
Things will never be the same again
What you became another enemy my friend
Now what you've become
Fucking disgrace
There is no turning back now
Just another two face
You've dug your grave
Bleeding Through's song "Final Hours" is a powerful emotional rollercoaster of a song. The lyrics are aggressive and convey the sense of being at the end of something, possibly the end of a relationship, a job, or a lifestyle. The opening lines "This is our final hour, you were never one of us, so run away, the end is upon us" is a call to action, a warning to those who were never truly part of the group, to leave before it's too late. This sentiment of rejection is then followed by the realization that all enemies have failed and learned their fate, to be forsaken, defeated, and that even trends have dug their own graves. This highlights the idea that even the popular people or movements will eventually fall and be forgotten.
The chorus's lyrics "Give up our hearts, conform to be just like them, you're just like them, you tried to pull the wool over our eyes" bring up themes of conformity, the pressure to fit in, and the idea of being misled. The song suggests that often people are pressured to conform to a certain group, losing their sense of self, and ultimately becoming just like the people they wanted to be accepted by, instead of standing out and being true to themselves. The lines "Sacrificing all things that were true, turned your back on all things that were true" and "Everything destructive points back at you" add to the overall sentiment of confronting someone who has lost their way and has become destructive.
Line by Line Meaning
This is our final hour
We have reached the end of our journey
You were never one of us
You never identified with us or our principles
So run away
Leave now if you can't face what's coming
The end is upon us
The time of reckoning is near
All enemies have failed and learned their fate
All who opposed us have lost and are facing the consequences
To be forsaken
To be abandoned and left without support or protection
Defeated all trends have dug their graves
Those who blindly followed popular trends have met their downfall
You'll never understand this desire to never fit in
You will never comprehend our drive to stay true to ourselves and not conform to societal norms
Give up our hearts
Abandon our passions and desires
Conform to be just like them
Become like those who we despise for their conformity
You're just like them
You have become like the very people you claimed to be against
You tried to pull the wool over our eyes
You attempted to deceive us and hide your true intentions
Sacrificing all things that were true
Letting go of everything that we held dear and believed in
Turned your back on all things that were true
Betrayed everything that we stood for
So much was sacred now lost in the past
Everything we held sacred has been destroyed and lost forever in the past
Everything destructive points back at you
All the negative consequences of our actions are a direct result of your actions and decisions
Say goodbye to sweet death
Accept that death is not the peaceful relief it's usually seen as
And the perfect isolation that we had
The sense of being isolated but still together in our choices
Things will never be the same again
The outcome of our actions has altered the course of everything that follows
What you became another enemy my friend
You have become another obstacle, instead of an ally, dear friend
Now what you've become
The kind of person you've become
Fucking disgrace
A terrible shame and disappointment
There is no turning back now
It is impossible to undo what has been done
Just another two face
You have shown your true colours as a deceitful, untrustworthy person
You've dug your grave
You have made your bed and now you have to lie in it

I can hear the Hardcore Punk influence, amazing band.

@ZackyMurder666 Funny because when I first got Creatures by MIW, I had Bleeding Through's self titled and loved it, and after listening to Creatures me and my friend noticed intense similarities. And it wasn't like totally ripping off or copying similarities, it was just a noticeable influence that they made their own.

Im digging the sound! A few parts remind me of Motionless in White (which in my opinion is not a bad thing.) Mainly just the synth work I would say. Looking forward to the release tomorrow.
