Drummer Ali Richardson about the signing:
“I’m happy to finally announce that BLEED FROM WITHIN has signed to Nuclear Blast Records. Their enthusiasm was obvious from our first conversation back in 2020 but as negotiations continued, the team proved that they possess the passion, drive, and knowledge to take this band to the next level.

About BLEED FROM WITHIN:
BLEED FROM WITHIN have been to hell and back in the last two years but these Glasgow bruisers are no strangers to enduring hardship. When a global pandemic threatened to shut down the release plans for the band’s fourth studio album, Fracture, the lads responded by collectively raising five middle fingers and pressing on, despite facing pressures to postpone. If venues
were unable to open their doors, BLEED FROM WITHIN would find a way of delivering the headbang to the front doors of their fans instead. It’s no surprise that this unstoppable riff machine continues to crush forward at such a frantic pace – there is no putting the breaks on the heaviest band to ever emerge from Scotland. The band’s reputation as one of the most formidable forces in modern metal has earned them tour slots with MEGADETH, LAMB OF GOD, TESTAMENT, and HEAVEN SHALL BURN, to name just a few. And with over 25 million streams for Fracture, the Glaswegian metalheads are only growing stronger and more popular with every new release. Their latest single, “I Am Damnation”, is the band’s heaviest yet, the culmination of two years of hard work that embodies their artistic might. Armed with the learnings of evolving their sound over the last decade without ever losing sight of their DIY roots, this is BLEED FROM WITHIN at their very best. With the backing of a new deal with Nuclear Blast Records and a new album on the way in 2022, there’s no denying the band’s inevitable next steps are world domination.

Scott Kennedy – vocals
Steven Jones – guitars
Graig Gowans – guitars
