BLEEDING THROUGH Preparing For European Tour

Orange County, California metallers BLEEDING THROUGH have issued the following update:

"It's a little bit late but we wanted to extend a big thank you from our band and our camp to our good friends Dave Peters (THROWDOWN) and Rocky Gray (LIVING SACRIFICE). Rocky, who used to drum in EVANESCENCE and now drums in SOUL EMBRACED while shredding the guitar in LIVING SACRIFICE, filled in for us on part of the U.S. BULLET FOR MY VALENTINE tour while Derek [Youngsma, BLEEDING THROUGH drummer] was at home awaiting the birth of his child. Dave, who actually played guitar in BLEEDING THROUGH for about two weeks a long time ago and sings for THROWDOWN, filled in for [Brian] Leppke [BLEEDING THROUGH guitarist] at Liskfest while Leppke was on his honeymoon. Thanks, guys! Be sure to check out their bands if you haven't. We have, of course, been friends with THROWDOWN for a long time and LIVING SACRIFICE are one of the bands who influenced BLEEDING THROUGH.

"The entire, regular lineup of BLEEDING THROUGH was back in full effect at our album-release shows in Southern California and we very much look forward to heading to Europe this week to play some club shows of our own and to support BULLET FOR MY VALENTINE! After that, we'll be doing our first shows in Russia (four of them!) and then in January we'll be headlining Australia! And don't worry, U.S., we haven't forgotten you. There's a big announcement coming soon."

"Death Anxiety", the new video from BLEEDING THROUGH, can be viewed below. The clip was shot in August with director Dave Brodsky, whose resume includes music videos from ALL THAT REMAINS, THE BLACK DAHLIA MURDER and GWAR.

"We wanted something simple and performance-driven but with lots of pyro, just fire everywhere," frontman Brandan Schieppati previously said.

"Death Anxiety" comes off the group's fifth full-length album, "Declaration", which sold just under 6,000 copies in the United States in its first week of release to debut at position No. 101 on The Billboard 200 chart.

BLEEDING THROUGH recently inked a European deal with Nuclear Blast Records for the release of "Declaration".

Released in Europe on September 26 and in North America on September 30 (through Trustkill),"Declaration" was recorded in Vancouver, Canada with producer Devin Townsend (STRAPPING YOUNG LAD, LAMB OF GOD, SOILWORK, DARKEST HOUR) and is said to be thematically the band's most diverse CD to date, addressing a variety of topics on tracks like "There Was a Flood", "Germany" and "Death Anxiety".
