Bleeding Through’s Ryan Wombacher Announces His Exit From The Band

Bleeding Through bassist Ryan Wombacher has confirmed his departure from the Orange County metalcore outfit. His exit was anticipated following his absence from the band’s live shows last fall. In a statement issued on February 16th, Wombacher reflected on his time with the band and his contributions to their latest album, Nine, which was released last week.

“I’m proud to be a part of this record. I think it’s some of the best BT has ever done. Everyone crushed it. I hurt my back pretty bad in 2020 and again in 2023. I’ve never been the same. I played my last show in September 2024. I miss it but there a so many other things I want to do in my free time now. I have always loved fishing and hunting and backpacking, it hurts like a motherfucker to to pack in to the backcountry no matter how easy the hike is but it’s still the one thing worth pushing through the pain for.

I started touring when I was 20. Can’t believe I did it until I was 42. Wouldn’t change a thing. Missed a lot of family/things happening at home through those years. Thank you for listening and coming out to shows and for all the insane experiences. @bleedingthrough is still going hard and I’m super proud of those guys. Thanks for the music.”
