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."

Trail of Seclusion
Bleeding Through Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Show me we won't die for nothing
All the blood that spilled from my heart
Sinks down the drain of seclusion
I'll never forget this (never forget)
Disappointment engraved into my memories
I still have no regrets
No regrets for a single word I've said
I see through what this all meant
The lack of heart and the fear of abandonment
So lets hear it for the less fortunate
This bitterness and the weight of my regret
So give me one more embrace
Show me that this meant something
Or was it just a waste of time?
Prove it now or you'll die with nothing
I'll never forget this (never forget)
Disappointment engraved into my memories
I still have no regrets
For anything I said
No regrets for a single word I've said
I see through what this all meant
The lack of heart and the fear of abandonment
So lets hear it for the less fortunate
This bitterness and the weight of my regret
Prove it now or you'll die with nothing
The lyrics to Bleeding Through's song "Trail of Seclusion" are packed with emotion and raw power. The song seems to be about a relationship that has failed and the feelings of regret that come with it. The singer is looking for some kind of closure or validation, wanting to feel like the relationship was not a waste of time and that they did not suffer and sacrifice for nothing.
The first verse mentions "one last cold embrace" and the hope that "we won't die for nothing." The blood that has "spilled from my heart" is going down the "drain of seclusion," which could represent the way that the singer is closing themselves off emotionally after being hurt.
The chorus repeats the lines "I'll never forget this" and "no regrets for a single word I've said," perhaps suggesting that the singer still feels strongly about what happened and does not regret being honest and open in their communication. They also seem to be trying to make sense of the situation, saying that they can "see through what this all meant" and recognizing that there was a "lack of heart" and "fear of abandonment" on both sides. Finally, the song ends with a plea for validation: "Prove it now or you'll die with nothing."
Overall, "Trail of Seclusion" is a powerful and emotional song that captures the pain and complexity of failed relationships. The lyrics suggest that the singer is looking for closure and validation, but also recognizes the flaws and mistakes on both sides.

One last cold embrace
This is the final farewell, and it's going to be a cold one
Show me we won't die for nothing
Reassure me that everything we went through was not in vain
All the blood that spilled from my heart
My heart has been wounded so badly that blood is spilling out
Sinks down the drain of seclusion
My emotional pain is being hidden away, never to be seen again
I'll never forget this (never forget)
I will always remember this moment, and it will never fade away
Disappointment engraved into my memories
I am filled with disappointment that will be forever etched into my mind
I still have no regrets
Despite all that has happened, I don't regret anything I've done or said
For anything I said
I am proud of all the words I spoke, and I stand by them
No regrets for a single word I've said
Every word I spoke was worth saying, and I don't regret any of them
I see through what this all meant
I understand the true meaning behind everything that happened
The lack of heart and the fear of abandonment
People acted without compassion, due to their fear of being abandoned
So lets hear it for the less fortunate
Let's not forget those who suffer because of the actions of others
This bitterness and the weight of my regret
I am filled with bitterness and regret, and it's weighing me down
Prove it now or you'll die with nothing
If you don't prove to me that what we had was real, you will have nothing to show for it in the end
Give me one more embrace
One last hug before we part ways forever
Show me that this meant something
Prove to me that our relationship was meaningful and not just a waste of time
Or was it just a waste of time?
I am questioning whether or not our relationship was worth anything at all
