Biography from Last.fm
Bleeding Through is a metal band out of Orange County, California, United States and was formed in 1999.
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.

It appears that Bleeding Through isn’t quite paying the bills because hunky singer, Brandan Schieppati has gone all social media with his Rise Above Fitness personal trainer scheme by putting a fitness regime online. The only evidence of any of this, however, is on Facebook so it might all be total (medicine) balls.
Not sure what you should be getting up to in the next four weeks when you’re not dodging outbreaks of Swine Flu? Thrash Hits has some recommendations.
Sweet Drunken Bank Holidays ahoy! That’s what we like best about May – two four-day weeks, and two three-day weekends. They’re the perfect excuse to do even less work and spend even more time eating, drinking, listening, watching, and shoving metal into every orifice we’ve got going. We’ve picked 3 albums, 3 tours, and 3 events to help you select when, where and how you choose to stuff yours.
Bullet For My Valentine are playing in front of about 9,000 people. Slayer did the same thing last month but with a much stronger supporting line-up and over two nights. Some might say there is no justice.
The fact of the matter is that Bullet For My Valentine are a Top 5 charting band in the two most important countries and they sell records to the people that matter – people that actually give a shit.
Bullet sell records to the people that will also show their love for a band by actually turning up to see them play the songs on that record.
Yes, large portions of those people are very young girls, ably escorted by similarly young boys but don’t let that fool you.
Their brand of modern metalcore is absolutely not as true to traditional metal as many demand. That’s what makes is modern rather than traditional. The years don’t start with the number 19 any more, FYI.
This is a band that is going to be around for a while yet. This is no flash-in-the-pan pop band. They write real songs for real people.
Take the chap to my left in his mid-40s, for example. To him, this is as real as any metal band. His hangover, tomorrow morning, is testament to that.
