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."

Bleeding Through Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But nothing lasts forever I'll rip the nerve from your heart and I refuse,
I refuse to live this way.
Eliminate, erase the most beautiful face I've ever seen,
To salvage this frozen heart.
I feel fake, I'm feeling abused, someday,
A new day will come after eight long years of you walking by me never looking my way.
Just to feel your touch isn't worth the cost,
Fill the void in my life but you were the only one to see me alive.
Alive. just surround me.
Windows that I've seen you walk by ten thousand times.
Now proceed to throw, or were they daggers,
Despite the broken glass, your smile is fake,
Your eyes are fake, your smile is fake,
Just the way the beauty you portray.
The time has come. consume.
You sold your eyes to the worthless
And now your face is killing me.
So many faces just like yours so many smiles just like yours, yours.
I refuse to live this way.
I refuse. take my hand and I'll lead you through it, take my hand.
I'm not afraid I'm not afraid anymore, I am not afraid.
One last torment forget my eyes for me, taking it all from me
The song Wake of Orion by Bleeding Through describes a sense of desperation and a willingness to do whatever it takes to salvage a frozen heart. The lyrics suggest that the singer is tired of feeling fake and abused, that they long for human connection, particularly that of a beautiful face they've seen walk by them a thousand times. The person they are speaking to may have thrown daggers or broken their heart, but the singer refuses to live this way anymore. The song suggests that to feel alive, one must consume, but at what cost?
The chorus indicates that the singer is struggling with letting go, that they will take the other person's hand and lead them through it, regardless of the personal cost. They are no longer afraid, no longer tormented by the other person's presence. The song suggests that the other person's fake appearance is no longer worth the price of feeling alive.
This song is open to interpretation, but the lyrics suggest a painful, desperate longing for connection and a willingness to do whatever it takes to achieve that connection. It is a testament to the power of human connection and the lengths we will go to feel alive.

One last torment forget my eyes for me, taking it all from me
I need one last push to forget you and move on from the pain you caused me.
