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).
After a three-year hiatus, they got back together in 2017 and released “Love Will Kill All” (2018) on SharpTone Records. On February 14, 2025, the band’s most recent album, “Nine”, was released.
