Orange County metalcore veterans Bleeding Through have rekleased their new single “War Time”. Fans have been eagerly awaiting new material from the veteran group, who teased their work on new music in late 2022. “War Time” is the first taste of what Bleeding Through has been working on since their comeback in 2018 with their album “Love Will Kill All” and their most recent EP “Rage”, released in mid-2022.
The new track showcases the band’s signature heavy sound, with a mix of metal and hardcore influences. While some critics have noted that the band’s sound leans towards modern metalcore, with pop influences and fewer hardcore elements, the overall response to the new single has been positive. Bleeding Through continues to evolve and experiment with their sound, staying true to their roots, carrying the torch of hard-hitting metalcore, while exploring some new, more melodious territory.
According to vocalist Brandan Schieppati, “War Time is a statement about Bleeding Through’s career. All the lies and betrayal from people who were supposed to have our backs. It is about the greed and arrogance that is displayed in the music industry and world in general. War Time is about this band forming an even stronger bond with each other and taking on this negative world together.”
“War Time” is a hard-hitting track that speaks to the band’s experiences in the music industry and their struggles with betrayal and greed. The song is a powerful statement about the band’s career and their unwavering determination to overcome any obstacle.
With its ferocious guitar riffs, pounding drums, and intense vocals, “War Time” is a powerful reminder of why Bleeding Through has remained one of the most influential bands in the metalcore scene for over two decades.
As one of the true pioneers of 2000s metalcore, Bleeding Through has cemented their place in the genre as one of the greats. With their latest release, they continue to showcase their skills and prove their staying power.
Lyrics:
You chose to cross me at the wrong fucking time. Everything you said to me lies. This bond of sacrifice dies.
Pull this aggression from pain. Spit the venom deep from my hate. Scars remain in search for the truth. I’ll never fucking be like you.
I feel the torment again. Battle tested. War in my head. Prepare the darkest embrace. Choking to death as you look at my face.
Don’t give a fuck what you believe. You’re all a sickness to me. I’ll never fucking be like you. I’ll never fucking be you.
I am becoming
I have become your enemy
I have become your enemy
Now I can see everything. Burned alive every word you said. Now I can feel everything. Closure in darkness remain.
You chose to cross me at the wrong fucking time. Everything you said to me lies. This bond of sacrifice dies.
Pull this aggression from pain. Spit the venom deep from my hate. Scars remain in search for the truth. I’ll never fucking be like you.
I feel the torment again. Battle tested. War in my head. Prepare the darkest embrace. Choking to death as you look at my face.
Don’t give a fuck what you believe. Your life is disgusting. Rather die than be like you. I’ll never fucking be you.
I am becoming
I have become your enemy
I have become your enemy
Now I can see everything. Burned alive every word you said. Now I can feel everything. Closure in darkness remain.
I am becoming
I have become your enemy
I am becoming
I have become your enemy
