Hands down the best metalcore release of 2003. Bleeding Through break forth with their debut on Trustkill a epic album with strength and passion that they call 'This Is Love, This Is Murderous'. Breaking out from a scene crowded with bands is not always easy, but when you set the standard for brutality its tough not to get noticed. Orange County, California manages to breed some of the best bands, it must be something in the drinking water.

This six-piece has managed to record one of the best albums I have heard in a long time. I can honestly say that all the people who felt like these guys were going to not live up to their expectations should give the first song a listen. 'Love Lost In a Hale of Gun Fire' begins the mayhem delivering some of the most earth shattering metal.. it's that tough that you have to gear up and get ready for the next forty-five minutes of your life. Every aspect is clearly thought out from the eerie keyboard background noises to some of the most fierce basslines; this is the perfect song to display the force known as Bleeding Through.

Echo'ing through other amazing songs that will make your blood flow and your heart pump are some of the standout tracks such as 'Number Seven With a Bullet', the short but incredibly intense 'Sweet Vampirous', as well as all the pain and angst you can feel through 'Mutilation', 'City of the Condemned', and 'What I Bleed Without You'. Without naming all the tracks because I feel that this album as a whole is very solid, I must endulge upon the best track 'Revenge I Seek', the last song. A powerful intro leads directly into the most impressive display of brutality I have heard in a long time. Imagine a group of 50 kids busting into full hardcore dancing during this song, its very easy to see, and at the same time as being hard its equally as catchy.

Blistering metal mixes with some touches of hardcore make Bleeding Through the band to watch in my eyes for the rest of 2003 and well into 2004. Trustkill has sure made a good investment in signing these guys and if the live show I saw from them was any indication, be prepared for one of the most rampant, exciting, and energetic shows you have seen in a long time. I was heavily impressed with their show and how the singer was able to capture the crowd and have them acting on any command he gave them. This will definately be one of the best albums of 2003.

I really latched onto Declaration.  I had really low expectations for the album and it blew me away.  I actually put this album as the band's third best behind Declaration and The Truth.
