Songs
to Bleed to is a marvellously gothic and melancholic album, mixing metal, industrial
and gothic sounds into a powerful and visceral musical experience. The songs range from strong confronting metal
sounds such as in the Blood of the Marquis to more “Marilyn Manson” like in
America is a drug. 'The God I Never Had' is an especially resonant song
reflecting on the inanities of religious belief. There is also a very cool
remake of the song God by Tori Amos.
Songs
to Bleed To is musically a professional and polished work, packed with
excellent driving metal and rock, superb vocals and a dark mood which envelops
the listener. It is a quite a diverse package with many different styles and
fascinating lyrics which are powerfully evocative.
It
also features superb artwork by Kevin Hundsnurscher of model Vienna la Rouge in
dark and gothic moods.
