Bleed From Within Talks New Album 'Zenith' & How It Is Their Most Expansive Album After 20 Years

20 years ago, Bleed From Within started out as a band humbly covering Lamb of God throughout Glasgow, Scotland. At this point in their careers, they have released 6 albums (with the 7th on the way) and have toured around the world, breaking into the USA in 2023. And in that time, they have seen their friends in bands like Bring Me The Horizon and Architects rise to international superstardom.As artists, what is a band to do with album #7 in a time when heavy music is the toast of the music industry? Do they play it safe and stay in their lane? Or do they take a chance at expanding their sound in a new way, and allowing them to continue being a band for another 30 years? We'd go with the latter.Ali from the Scottish metalcore heavy hitters Bleed From Within joins the Chord Progression Podcast today. The bands new album, Zenith, is due out on April 4th, 2025, as well as a tour supporting Bullet For My Valentine and Trivium in the United States.
