Bleeding Through’s Brandan Schieppati: “Bleeding Through Has Come To An End”
Bleeding Through have officially revealed their plans to disband later this year. Band frontman Brandan Schieppati issued the following statement to Blabbermouth.net regarding their final plans, which include farewell tours of North America, Europe and Australia:
“When you have some success doing something that you love, you never really think about writing a statement about that something coming to an end. Well, that dream that we have had as Bleeding Through has come to an end.
I think I can speak for the rest of my bandmates in saying that we always hoped it would end on our terms, and it has. We have been fortunate to have a strong fan base worldwide and have brought joy to many and pissed off many more.
Bleeding Through was always a band that wore the emotion of the music on our sleeves. We cared about everyone like family that ever took the time to listen to our band, support our merchandise and go to our shows.
Since 1999, we have been blessed to be able to tour the world, record seven records with some great musical minds, tour with amazing bands and people, work with people with character such as management, booking agents and road crew. Most importantly, we made lasting friends from this journey. We have been honored to be part of a expanding the musical movement of heavy music and hope to be remembered as a benchmark and pioneer of a specific style of music.
We have been a band since 1999, and many of us just had life catch up with us in the way of marriages, kids, businesses and other endeavors. We can no longer dedicate what we need to to keep Bleeding Through going.
Personally, I feel doing this band in a part-time fashion is not what this band is about and and feel like we have always been an all-or-nothing band. With that being said, and because we have established a worldwide following over the last 14 years, we want to give us and those people one more chance to share in this music together. We are setting up farewell tours. Dates will be up and promoted very soon.
To those who supported this band: It has been an honor.”

Only about 6 years late on calling it quits…
Couldn’t have said it any better myself.
Agreed. I haven’t listened to this band since 06′ when they released The Truth. Some bands just dwindle over time. They used to be great.
They made seven albums?!
I’d love to hear another Suffer Well album.
Just play the damn album then.
You will! They are now called Sorrows. Their label dropped them before the album even dropped.
great band. every album after the truth was in a better direction. sad to see them go.
Agreed. Each album led them one foot closer to the grave. I’d say that was a better direction for this band.
The Truth was not that good of an album, and had a bunch of whinny vocals, Declaration which came afterward was much-much better.
The Truth was a crap album, besides the song “Tragedy of Empty Streets”. Considering how intense “This is Love, This is Murderous” was for it’s time, the Truth was a horrible follow up, and then there was Declaration which was better heavy wise, but still a major let down. I really thought that was it for them, until they released S/T and The Great Fire. Both those albums lifted BT to a whole new level, but unfortunately alot of people left them at The Truth, and Declaration, so mouthbreathers like Wurst and Kturl don’t shit about what they are even talking about.
Sad to see BT end, but it was starting to look that way over the last year, or atleast since the release of The Great Fire.
I liked the material on “This is Love, This is Murderous”, but am I the only one who thinks it needs to be remastered?
The snare sounded horrendous on This is Love, This is Murderous.
Not just that, its the overall cloudy, haziness the album has, mainly the drums and keys.
This was a fucking bomb…
That was a the popular snare sound back then. Annoying at times, but drummers loved that pop sound.
Try listening to Isis Oceanic, the snare on that album blows, but still an unreal record.
This is Love could use an update. Make things less murky. But I still love it.
