Review: Bleed the Sky - Paradigm in Entropy, Murder the Dance (2005, 2008)

Bleed the Sky is a metalcore group from California and they are excellent. They're debut album, Paradigm in Entropy, is a solid disc. From 'Minion,' the heavy opening track, to the middle-track 'Leverage,' to the distorted and eerie 'Gated' at number 7, to the "order in chaos" mess that is the closer, 'Borrelia Mass,' Bleed the Sky's debut is something to be reckoned with. A mixture of heavy groove with melodic singing and time changing drumwork, the CD is, needless to say, awesome.

I really wanted to cover their follow-up, though, Murder the Dance. I actually listened to this while I ran a 5K a couple weeks so and it was the best thing I had in my Zune 8. 'Knife Fight in a Phone Booth' wins the bad-ass track title award, among others. Again, BtS blends their signature metal sound with a melodic chorus and they excel at it. 'Sullivan' is more than worth mentioning as it is just as bad-ass as the tune that preceeded it. The trend on this CD is to put a song down that outdoes the one before it. 'Murder the Dance' continues the pattern as the track's third track with incredible screams, if nothing else.

This entry is short simply because much can't be said when you have something that is as phenomenal as good music.
