about

9/10 - Drunk In A Graveyard
"I honestly cannot fathom how it is that The Bleeding are yet unsigned. Crank this up, thank ye old metal gods and forget your woes."
drunkinagraveyard.com/2017/08/08/an-inbox-crammed-with-metal-5/

84/100 Lords Of Metal
"...it is a matter of time before a record label wakes up and offers these guys a contract."
www.lordsofmetal.nl/en/reviews/view/id/34516

4/5 Stormbringer
"... a real pleasure."
www.stormbringer.at/reviews/13877/the-bleeding-rites-of-absolution.html

"...this first album is likely to become a reference for European Death / Thrash, putting England back at the center of the proceedings."
"...combining the mathematical power of an ATHEIST with the sadistic deviations of ASPHYX."
-Metalnews
www.metalnews.fr/chroniques/rites-of-absolution

8/10 - Metal Temple
"...If you like TESTAMENT, DEATH, OVERKILL or CANNIBAL CORPSE, you know what to do then."
www.metal-temple.com/site/catalogues/entry/reviews/cd_3/t_2/the-bleeding-rites-of.htm

8/10 Musipedia of Metal
"As a massive fan of old school thrash and death metal this album brought a huge smile to my face and will definitely appeal to fans of both subgenres."
"...The Bleeding are oozing with potential." - New Noise Magazine
newnoisemagazine.com/review-bleeding-rites-absolution/

4/5 - Battle Helm
"...get blasts of stuff like Bolt Thrower, Benediction and other British death metal from the 90s mixed with German Teutonic thrash. This is not a trip down nostalgia. This is presence and it is bloody fantastic."
battlehelm.com/reviews/the-bleeding-rites-of-absolution/

"...this is an album to revel in its musical vision" - BELFAST METALHEADS REUNITED

"Aggression, brutality, fierceness …The Bleeding are a definite 'one to watch'." - METAL GODS TV
metalgodstv.com/the-bleeding-album-review-rites-of-absolution/

"...the aggression the band brings to bear as things really kick off with “Consumed Existence” rarely lets up, especially with Stungo shouting like a drill sergeant over the top of it." - Metal Rules

drunkinagraveyard.com/2017/08/08/an-inbox-crammed-with-metal-5/

"THE BLEEDING knows how to take the spirit of Consuming impulse, with the amplitude of Spheres sound palette to mention two albums of PESTILENCE that show the two sides of this music. ...Rites of absolution blends virtuosity with viscerality, clean sound and aggressiveness." - Subterraneo Webzine
subterraneowebzine.com/the-bleeding-gbr-rites-of-absolution-2017/

"The Bleeding are a very great sounding mixture of death and thrash metal" -The True Bringer Of Death
