Lake Of Fire
Bro, do you even Bleed?
This one is a winner, not merely informed by a nostalgia of the 90's... You can feel the passion and the heart in every riff, every drum fill, every line, every part of every song
As an old head who was there to witness the rise of the first wave, color me impressed. And to the youngsters discovering this sound, welcome on board

Great album: reminds me of the Handsome record - and that's a very good thing.
Agree with the comment about this being the best debut in a long time. Brilliant.

When they see the way you are
Let them down
Ride the rail and come around
They say time (heals all)
But time’s not mine (at all)
When you’re finally at the door
Of what you found
Ride the rail too hard and turn around
I found isolation through desperation
They say time heals all looked inside and all I know
The answers I can’t find
Sit here and understand
You’ll follow the road
Allow me to see you on
Excuses won’t stay here in time for
The feeling has left you without
The words to make this real
You’re waiting around to die alone
Your thoughts have all rendered down
Right into what once was
Someone who’s full of love
Now only failed expectations
Dancing on unmarked tombstones
Replacing letter heads
The body I held so tight
Is the one stone cold instead
Voice echoing off the hallways
Fist pressed into the skin
The body I held so tight
Is the one stone cold instead
The feeling has left you without
The words to make this real
(I watched for so long)
Until then I’ll see you only
When I choose to heal
(I’m coming home)

Bleed’s introductory EP ‘Somebody’s Closer’ was initially self-released by the band through digital platforms in 2021. Despite no physical release at the time, the EP, invoking late 90s / early 00’s era alt rock / metal gained the Dallas, Texas-based band a lotta buzz with its gauzy distortion balancing tension and atmosphere, and via several mutual connections came to the attention of 20 Buck Spin. The label issued vinyl and cassette editions in 2022 bringing Bleed’s music to new audiences and wider attention. Since that time the anticipation for the band’s debut full length has built to fever pitch, and at long last it arrives as Spring heads into Summer.
Bleed’s self-titled LP maintains the melodic heaviness and tight song structures of the EP, while diving headfirst into the oceanic haze, pushing their sound into territory more immersive, relentless and hypnotically lush. Guitars surge and sway in stacked waves of gravitational angst, overdriven rhythms eccentrically pulsing beneath, and guitarist / singer Ryan Hughes’s voice floating in and out, sometimes distant and detached, sometimes cracked open with desperation. Lyrics move in fragments, alluding to themes of deep internal struggle, coping mechanisms and hurting those you love most. It’s music that doesn’t so much demand attention as seeps straight into the bloodstream, the kind of album that endlessly loops in the back of the mind at 3 a.m.
Bold strides are taken right outta the gate to make the authenticity of Bleed’s universe more expansive in its inspirations and ambitions. There’s a confidence to the way Bleed let’s these songs unfold, they make their impact immediate and have no need to persist longer than necessary. The result is an album that feels massive yet intimate, brutal yet beautiful, familiar yet singular. It doesn’t simply leave an impression, it lingers, reverberating long after the final notes have faded.

From Tiohtià:Ke, with utmost support and love for the Mohawk people and all Siberian First Nations descendants! Blackbraid is easily the best Black Metal project right now, heavily underrated. Carrying a fragment of my Native Siberian ancestry, every song comes with a different story about nature and its splendor! Hah-kwa 🧡 death_raven
