Bleeding Through - This Is Love, This Is Murderous
Reviewed by ryan
Generic. Trite. Typical. Boring. Stale. Cliché. Monotonous. Dull. Uninspiring. All of the above are correct and accurate approximations of Bleeding Through’s latest full-length, This Is Love, This Is Murderous. This Californian six-piece merge the musical regions of tough guy hardcore with the darker districts of metal to form something that’s been done a million times previously and will be done another million times to come. Bleeding Through are talented, that much is clear, but their music is completely vacant of creativity, yearning for something more than the monotonous thud of metal and the fist pumping pound of hardcore. As far as I’m concerned, this isn’t love and it’s not murderous; it’s simply generic drivel. [www.bleedingthrough.com]
