Bleeding Through

As the world launched into a new millennium during the 2000s, a more modern metal sound was quickly gaining popularity in the United States. Many bands embraced this evolution. Some in particular also heavily influenced the direction of the newly created genre that was metalcore. Even though many of those bands are either not together […]

Deathcore was a defining force of the 2000s metal scene. While polarizing at the time, it’s gained more respect in recent years through a new era of the genre. Still, the origins of the genre were filled with great releases that stand strong over a decade later.  While bands used to fight against metal elitists […]

Since 2005, It’s Always Sunny In Philadelphia has brought the most awkward and hilarious moments to television. Over the years, however, fans have also noticed various musical nods subtly hidden within its episodes. In particular, an early episode from season one features nods to Hopeless Records, Avenged Sevenfold, Thrice and more. Read more: Here’s how Green […]

With bands such as Lacuna Coil and Nightwish fronting the charge for the ladies in a scene largely dominated by men, there’s no need for the term “female-fronted metal” in 2020. The women powering the metal realm without a microphone in their hands deserve credit for shattering the glass ceiling. In the spirit of celebrating […]

Metalcore has always been about the pursuit of extremity. Furious tempos, warp-speed guitar shredding and painful throat-shearing were the hallmarks of the sound. But in the later part of the 2000s and throughout the following decade, the game changed a bit. The shredders started listening to dubstep or maybe their honeys took them to Electric […]

During the 2000s and early 2010s, a surge of electronic influences found their way into metalcore as EDM became the biggest genre in music at the time. Warped Tour was flooded with synths and neon skinny jeans instead of mohawks and stick-and-poke tattoos as the flavor of the day became electronicore bands. While it’s tapered […]

Metalcore dominated the metal scene for the better part of the turn of the century, and it’s continued leading the mainstream. While some bands have undeniably got the recognition they deserve, others went under the radar when they had potential to go further. Lack of fan support led to an end for many of those […]

Metal has come a long way across the past two decades. From breaking away from the ’90s nü-metal boom into the new wave of American heavy metal and the shift to metalcore, deathcore and hardcore taking over once that scene started to fizzle out, there have been a ton of developments from bands both old […]

When a band announce they’re reuniting, all sorts of thoughts start going through our heads. Will they still have the sound and abilities they had when they were in their prime? Will they make new music or just play shows? Or, will they make something that completely blows our minds and becomes one of the […]

In the early 2000s, a swath of new bands emerged across the states. They started a new wave of American heavy metal and inspired the sound we know metalcore to have today. While many of the bands from that time are gone or have drastically shifted their sound, the albums that dropped around then are […]

Brandan Schieppati, frontman for metalcore fulcrum Bleeding Through, is on a massive tear. On a recent episode of Jon’s Untitled Podcast while promoting the band’s new album Love Will Kill All (out tomorrow, May 25 via SharpTone), the singer set his psychic gun sights on bands like Bring Me The Horizon for their overtly perfect-sounding […]

When metalcore heavyweights Bleeding Through played their last show in 2014, frontman Brandan Schieppati felt lost. Disconnected from the metallic hardcore scene he and his band had helped popularize, the vocalist believed the band were stagnating, so he pulled the plug on the group two years after the release of their seventh album, The Great […]

Brandan Schieppati is the frontman for metal band Bleeding Through. You might better recognize him wearing all black or from one of the band’s gory music videos. However, Schieppati has turned over a new leaf, going from blood-curdling screams to barbell curls at Rise Above Fitness—his business and gym based in Huntington Beach, California. Rise […]

The reason? “Basically, I went insane,” Jones admits with a smirk. “It had been happening for a while. I was driving myself nuts, and it was driving the rest of the guys […]
