 Bleeding Through is a metalcore band from Orange County, CA that came together during the Summer of 1998. The formative steps would be taken under the banner of Breakneck; consisting of Brandan 'Sheep' Schieppati (Eighteen Visions/Throwdown), Javier Van Huss(Eighteen Visions), 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 Marc Jackson (throwdown/Cold War (band)) 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 Burgler took the bass position and Molly Street 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. |
