Bleed Announce Self-Titled Debut Album, Drop New Single “Marathon”

Bleed, the heavy shoegaze-infused alt-metal band out of Dallas, TX, have unveiled their latest single, “Marathon,” taken from their upcoming self-titled debut album. Set for release on May 2nd via 20 Buck Spin, the album pushes the band’s immersive and crushing sound even further. The Colt Matheson-directed video for “Marathon“ is now available.

According to the press release:

Regarding the new album:

Bleed’s self-titled LP maintains the melodic heaviness and tight song structures of the EP, while diving headfirst into the oceanic haze, pushing their sound into territory more immersive, relentless and hypnoticlly lush. Guitars surge and sway in stacked waves of gravitational angst, overdriven rhythms eccentrically pulsing beneath, and guitarist / singer Ryan Hughes’s voice floating in and out, sometimes distant and detached, sometimes cracked open with desperation. Lyrics move in fragments, alluding to themes of deep interntal struggle, coping mechanisms and hurting those you love most. It’s music that doesn’t so much demand attention as seeps straight into the bloodstream, the kind of album that endlessly loops in the back of the mind at 3 a.m. 

Bold strides are taken right outta the gate to make the authenticity of Bleed’s universe more expansive in its inspirations and ambitions. There’s a confidence to the way Bleed let’s these songs unfold, they make their impact immediate and have no need to persist longer than necessary. The result is an album that feels massive yet intimate, brutal yet beautiful, familar yet singular. It doesn’t simply leave an impression, it lingers, reverberating long after the final notes have faded.

Pre-orders for Bleed are available now.
