Destined for great achievement ever since their formation in 1999, Bleeding Through’s career has been a lengthy and star-studded one, dedicated to delivering a devastating, yet melodic and entrancing, infusion of metal and hardcore to fans worldwide. But, above all else, the band has stayed true to themselves. A testament to their momentous impact on the genre, the group has influenced several generations of artists since their inception and will no doubt continue to inspire fans and artists for many years to come. 

Having already triumphantly reclaimed the spotlight after their biggest collective hurdle – the 2014 hiatus which many anticipated would be the end of the band’s career as a cohesive unit – Orange County sextet, Brandan Schieppati (vocals), Derek Youngsma (drums), Marta Peterson (keyboards), Brian Leppke (guitar), Ryan Wombacher (bass), and John Arnold (guitar), clearly know what it takes for a successful resurgence. 

With five Top 50 U.S. charting records, over 100 million catalog streams, more than 400k physical album sales, and global tours with Slipknot, Motionless In White, Lamb of God, and Unearth under their belts, there’s no arguing with the Bleeding Through’s methods and widespread appeal. 

Music’s prodigal sons have returned to retake their throne with the release of their latest single, “Dead But So Alive”, and Bleeding Through have no intention of crowning a successor just yet.  

“‘Dead But So Alive’ is a more personal song for me. I battle with being bipolar and it is something that I am very up front about in my life. This song is about the daily life and sometimes ugliness of mental illness. It takes a strong support system around me to walk this life and I have my family and amazing band around me to make me feel so alive when I sometimes feel so dead.”
