Orange County, Thrash edged Metalcore unit. Coming together during the Summer of 1998 the formative steps would be taken under the banner of BREAKNECK, a unit consisting of EIGHTEEN VISIONS and THROWDOWN frontman Brandan 'Sheep' Schieppati, EIGHTEEN VISIONS man Javier Van Huss, guitarist Scott Danough alongside bass guitarist Chad Tafolla and drummer Troy Born of the band TAKEN. Line-up changes, witnessing the departure of Van Huss and the recruitment of Mark Jackson to cover bass whilst Tafolla reverted to guitar, pushed the band into a sharper edged Death Metal feel and with that shift the new title of BLEEDING THROUGH was duly adopted as they signed up for a full length through Prime Directive Records entitled 'Dust To Ashes' in 2001. Just prior to entering the studio Vijay Kumar of ROUNDHOUSE and CAT BURGLAR took the bass position and Molly Streey enrolled as keyboard player. Just as the album saw issue Born quit the band but a quickfire substitute was located in Derek Youngsma of CAST IN STONE repute.

Severing ties with both EIGHTEEN VISIONS and THROWDOWN, Schieppati opted to pursue BLEEDING THROUGH as a priority upon completion of the Indecision Records 2002 offering 'Portrait Of The Goddess'. At this juncture the group comprised the guitar pairing of Scott Danough and Brian Leppke, bassist Ryan Wombacher, keyboard player Marta and drummer Derek Youngsma.

Promoting the Ulrick Wild produced 'This is Love, This is Murderous' album BLEEDING THROUGH embarked upon US nationwide touring pitched in with AFI and HOT WATER MUSIC. These dates would propel the band into the American conscience albeit for all the wrong reasons. Travelling from Utah to a show in Colorado the group's vehicle hit black ice on the highway, spinning out of control. A mobile TV unit, there to report on another crash, caught the entire incident on film as their equipment trailer rolled and exploded, showering their instruments and gear across the road. Fortunately the band escaped with only minor injuries. Gigs in December of that year across the West Coast had the band partnered with CHAMPION and EMBRACE TODAY.

In an unexpected move, BLEEDING THROUGH donated their rendition of 'Rocket Queen' to the GUNS N' ROSES tribute album 'Bring You To Your Knees' released by Inertia Records in March of 2004. The band stepped up for the July / August 2004 'Ozzfest' events, sharing the second stage alongside headline act SLIPKNOT and fellow supports UNEARTH, LAMB OF GOD, EVERY TIME I DIE, HATEBREED, LACUNA COIL and ATREYU. The band shot a promotional video for the album opener 'Love Lost In A Hail of Gunfire' in June with director Chris Sims.

A UK October re-issue of 'This Is Love, This Is Murderous' added three bonus live tracks, 'Revenge I Seek', 'Rise' and 'Our Enemies'. November 'Headbanger's Ball III' US touring partners would be CRADLE OF FILTH, ARCH ENEMY and HIMSA. The band embarked upon European touring in February of 2005, supported by Swedes CULT OF LUNA. In April the group, working with Rob Caggiano as producer, ensconced themselves in Cherokee Studios, Los Angeles to cut a new album billed 'The Truth'.

As ''This Is Love, This Is Murderous' passed the 100,000 sales figure in the USA, further touring found the band forging part of the roving 'Strhess Fest' in alliance with DARKEST HOUR, ZAO, MARTYR A.D., and FIGHT PARIS commencing early July. Upon completion of these gigs the group hooked up with the 'Vans Warped' tour for a two week stretch. November saw shows with DAYS OF CONTEMPT before the group entered the recording studio to lay down cover versions of BLACK FLAG's 'My War', for use on a tribute album, and UNBROKEN's 'Proverb'. Promoting 'The Truth', issued in January, the band opened 2006 with US dates throughout February and March backed by EVERY TIME I DIE, BETWEEN THE BURIED AND ME and HASTE THE DAY. The band also put in a significant appearance at the TOOL and DEFTONES headlined 'Download' festival in Castle Donington, UK on June 9th.

'Ozzfest' loomed for the 2006 summer touring season, the group sharing the festival stages with OZZY OSBOURNE, SYSTEM OF A DOWN, HATEBREED, LACUNA COIL, DISTURBED, BLACK LABEL SOCIETY, UNEARTH, ATREYU, NORMA JEAN, A LIFE ONCE LOST, STRAPPING YOUNG LAD, THE RED CHORD, FULL BLOWN CHAOS, WALLS OF JERICHO, ALL THAT REMAINS and BETWEEN THE BURIED AND ME. Further US touring throughout November and December 2006 saw a package billing with SAOSIN and SENSES FAIL.

The band contributed their version of 'The Truth' to the SICK OF IT ALL tribute album 'Our Impact Will Be Felt' assembled by Abacus Recordings for January 2007 release. The band performed at the Japanese Independence-D Fest in Tokyo on February 4th prior to Brazilian dates, also making time to film a promotional video for the song 'Line In The Sand' in Los Angeles with director Dan Dobi. They would then unite with CALIBAN, ALL SHALL PERISH and I KILLED THE PROM QUEEN for the European 'Darkness Over Europe' tour commencing mid-February and running through until March 25th.

BLEEDING THROUGH parted ways with guitarist Scott Danough in April, stating "We felt that we had grown apart and it was time for both parties to move on". Jona Weinhofen from I KILLED THE PROM QUEEN stepped in as replacement.

The band's 2008 album 'Declaration' was recorded in Vancouver, Canada with producer Devin Townsend. The band embarked on a European tour, commencing on November 9th at the Edinburgh Corn Exchange, on a strong package bill LACUNA COIL, BULLET FOR MY VALENTINE and BLACK TIDE.

2009 was opened with a bout of US headlining dates bolstered by THE ACACIA STRAIN, AS BLOOD RUNS BLACK and IMPENDING DOOM. Guitarist Jona Weinhofen took his leave in late May. He would be swiftly replaced by Dave Nassie, citing credits with NO USE FOR A NAME, INFECTIOUS GROOVES, SUICIDAL TENDENCIES and from Brandan Schieppatti's side project, THE INNOCENT.

In July 2009 BLEEDING THROUGH contracted a deal with the Portland, Oregon based independent record label Rise Records. BLEEDING THROUGH embarked on a special West Coast tour in August 2009 to celebrate the band's ten-year anniversary. Along for the ride would be CARNIFEX, MISS MAY I and MOTIONLESS IN WHITE.

SATYRICON, BLEEDING THROUGH, TOXIC HOLOCAUST and CHTHONIC teamed up for a North American tour commencing 25th September at Baltimore, Maryland's Sonar venue.
