Monokrator

by The Bleeding

supported by
Metallurgical Fire

Metallurgical Fire I loved Rites of Absolution, but Morbid Prophecy’s anemic production kicked me out. The Bleeding are back in top form with Monokrator, their best effort by far. These guys take everything up a notch or ten with this highly energetic and destructive whirlwind of riffs. The influences from thrash, early death metal, and 1st wave black metal are ever present, but the band still sounds fresh. Never a dull moment. Favorite track: Screams of Torment.

Christopher The Bleeding sure as shit outdid themselves this time man, holy fuck bro this is more than a fire album, it's thermonuclear annihilation!!! 10 out of motherfucking 10! Favorite track: Mutation Chamber.

sachavonkarl74 Super-fast blackened DM with raw vocals, like scratching your skin with a meat-grinder plate, know what I mean? overwhelming full-frontal attack nuclear wave, sharp, not repetitive, and groovy at times, with lots of tempo changes to keep things flowing well. Favorite track: Chainsaw Deathcult.

released June 9, 2023

"The Bleeding channel ripping death-thrash with a mean blackened edge. Blood for the Blood God!" 8.8/10 - Angry Metal Guy

"The Bleeding are possibly the most vicious UK extreme metal band in many years " 9.5/10 - Ave Noctum

"This is the sort of record – lean, mean, and taking no prisoners – that may well put The Bleeding on the global metallic map where they belong." - No Clean Singing

"A serious contender for any other thrash record that steps into the arena this year" - Toilet Ov Hell

"If you love Death/Thrash with a more melodic and blackened seasoning, then this absolute monster isn't to be skipped on." - Drako's Death Metal News & Reviews

“...this is a blazing, dark and sniping thrash record awash with abrasive yet meaty riffs and gnarly vocal tradeoffs.” - Metal Forces

"Sharp-edged, old-school-worshiping death/thrash, executed with surgical precision" - Decibel Magazine

"Absolutely devastating old school thrash death metal that will tear you apart! Massacre in the morgue!" - Deadly Storm zine

"All-killer-no-filler with razor sharp riffage cementing the band’s claim for the crown" - Metal Noise

"The Bleeding gain nowhere near enough recognition in the English metal scene. Let’s hope things change after the release of this album. Monokrator is a blast from start to finish." - Scream Blast Repeat

"Full force are good words to describe the manic mayhem that The Bleeding unleash with this new record." - Games, Brrraaains & A Head-Banging Life

"The pure, unfiltered and (self-) destructive malice of "Monokrator" hurts in every limb and yet is so wholesome." - Demonic Nights

"An ultra-precise, uber-intense thrash record, and all ludicrously exciting and brimming with vitriolic intent. Thrash ‘til death." - Heavy Matters

"Big huge riffs, ripping vocals and with the extra added flavor of cover art by Juanjo Castellano that just really seals the deal for me. All fun and speed considered The Bleeding land at 9/10" - Musipedia of Metal

"An album that my dear child of the night will love at first sight." - Metal Addicts

"An absolute rager of a record" - UK Thrashers

"The best Thrash-based album for ages" - MetalTalk

"An adrenaline fuelled, horror filled nightmare of constantly attacking savagery" - Metal Epidemic

"Monokrator will make you set the neighborhood on fire." - Metallerium

"Each of the eight songs is a hit." - X-Crash

"Monokrator is a great Thrash Metal album with a lot of aggression and pace." (9/10) - Metal Temple

"30 minutes and 22 seconds of face melting and brutally snarling fun." - Amplify The Noise

"They bring the intensity, the speed, the razor sharp playing and technical yet still as catchy as the common cold songwriting" - Canadian Assault zine

"An utterly sublime album that fires on all fronts" - The Razor's Edge

"A sublimely brutal album" - Moshville Times

"'Thrash till Death' right between the eyes. A mega album. A tribute to the genre." (9/10) - Hellfire-Magazin

"The UK thrash and death metal scenes are both very healthy but Monokrator is definitely an adrenaline filled shot in the arm for both" - Ever Metal
