Metal, Hardcore, Indie, Rock
Bleeding Through, a metalcore band from California, seems to have been in the studio lately, as per theprp. Bleeding Through‘s keyboardist/vocalist (and Phil’s significant other) Marta Demmel is seen in the studio recording some vocals in a new post shared by Phil Demmel of Kerry King, Category 7 fame on February 10th, even though the group hinted at an updated recording of “Line In The Sand” last month.
Hammer it Out studio getting a workout with @martademmel laying down some @bleedingthrough vocalities. It’s been fun watching her grow as a singer and find comfort in recording. Hit the lottery and I couldn’t be more proud.
Founded in 1999, Bleeding Through is an American metalcore band based in Orange County, California. After quitting Throwdown, main vocalist Brandan Schieppati founded the band as a side project, heavily influenced by Swedish melodic death metal and hardcore punk. Before leaving Eighteen Visions to concentrate on Bleeding Through, Schieppati, who was also a member of Eighteen Visions, recorded the independent albums “Dust to Ashes” (2001) and “Portrait of the Goddess” (2002). Today, the remaining members of the band are guitarists John Arnold and Brandon Richter, keyboardist Marta Demmel, and drummer Derek Youngsma. The band has sold over 400,000 albums globally as of 2024.
“This Is Love, This Is Murderous”, Bleeding Through‘s breakout album, was released in 2003 after they signed with Trustkill Records. Following their involvement in a van crash that was unintentionally captured on live television in December 2003, the band received significant media exposure outside of the heavy metal world. After receiving high praise from critics, Trustkill published “The Truth” (2006) and “Declaration” (2008).
Financial difficulties and disagreements with Trustkill plagued the release of “Declaration”; when the album’s tour cycle was up, the band broke away from the label and joined with Rise Records in 2009. Before the band broke up in 2014, they put out two albums through Rise: “Bleeding Through” (2010) and “The Great Fire” (2012).
