Bleeding Through's third album (and first on a major label, Trustkill Records), 2003's "This Is Love...This Is Murderous," is a bit more unique than typical, faceless metalcore releases, because it incorporates several other genres and influences into the mix. Brandan Schieppati delivers his furious vocals (in the form of growls, barks, and bellows) over a seemingly endless stream of pulverizing breakdowns, blistering Swedish death metal riffs, weighty rhythms, admirably technical drumming (i.e. walloping, grindcore-worthy blast beats), atmospheric, black metal-worthy keyboard accents (ala Dimmu Borgir), and even an occasional ripping guitar solo. The final sound is typically quite catchy, and always very lean, mean, punishing, and satisfying.
Listeners looking for pummeling hardcore beat-downs should definitely give "This Is Love..." a listen, because there are a ton of them to be heard here. And if they aren't your cup of tea, but you enjoy aggressive, brutal, abrasive music with raw-sounding production and a very powerful and visceral impact, you could do a lot worse than this album. After a brief intro ("Lost Love In A Hale Of Gunfire"), the pounding "Sweet Vampirous" is the official set opener, and it pretty much sets the mood perfectly for the rest of the songs, with its dense, churning riffs, bruising rhythm, throaty yells intertwined with clean singing, impeccable (albeit fairly brief) solo, and mellow ending. But then the band storm back with "Number Seven With A Bullet," a sneak attack (it's just over a minute long) backed by dense guitars and forceful death metal blasts that greet the listener like a steel-toed kick to the skull. Then, after the menacingly ambient and highly symphonic "On Wings Of Lead", the bludgeoning "What I Bleed Without You" knocks you flat on your back. Later, Brandon goes absolutely nuts on the microphone while bellowing out the lyrics to tracks like the title tune and "City Of The Condemned" (plus, the latter also features a surprising hardcore shout-along ending: "No regrets!");"Murder By Numbers" boasts scorching guitar interplay, wicked shrieks, slamming drums, and a couple of tasty solos; "Dead Like Me" is another onslaught with extra chunky riffing and a hard, driving rhythm; and "Revenge I Seek," which is probably the record's hookiest song, falls into a lurching, head-bobbing groove.
Monotony sets in after a while, leaving "This Is Love, This Is Murderous" as a good, if not entirely memorable album that shows Bleeding Through had plenty of room for growth (which they would achieve on their 2006 effort, "The Truth"). But it's still a very enjoyable listen, and it makes for competent headbanging sessions. Plus, it may lose out to a few other bands for the best metal/hardcore record of 2003 (see Lamb of God's "As The Palaces Burn," Chimaira 's "Impossibility of Reason," and Hatebreed 's "The Rise of Brutality"), but all in all, it is a pretty close call.
"This is Love, This is Murderous" is a testament to the band as a whole. Prior to the release of this album, Bleeding Through had only done two independently released albums with lower production values than what can be found on "This is Love, This is Murderous".
The album begins with the single, "Love Lost in a Hail of Gunfire", which is a heavy hitting track that begins with a quick sample from the film "The Boondock Saints". It features fast strumming, a few breakdowns, and Brandand's classic vocal style of a harsh scream/yell with higher pitched screams from time to time. It mixes things up towards the end of the track by adding in clean vocals when it gets to the portion that states "My heart belongs to you, so save me" and it fits the sound of the song perfectly.
The album also features often haunting sounding keyboards, provided by newcomer Marta. "This is Love, This is Murderous" was the first album to add Marta as the band's official keyboard player, and she truly adds a new level to the band's style that was absent from the two prior released albums. On "This is Love, This is Murderous" every member of the band stands out. The guitar work provided by Scott and Brian is spot on, with good distortion, nice tempos, and well timed and executed breakdowns. The bass lines done by Ryan are very good, and songs like "Sweet Vampirous" allow the bass to truly stand out and shine. The drums are also good on this album, with well executed polyrhythms, and blastbeats that match up with the guitars and Brandan's vocals perfectly.
Stand out tracks include: "Love Lost in a Hail of Gunfire", "Number Seven With a Bullet", "On Wings of Lead" and the title track "This is Love, This is Murderous". The introductory section to "On Wings of Lead" is a nice change of pace for the album, with a slow, clean sung intro that leads into the heavy assault that the song begins to produce. The chorus is also clean sung, a tradition that the band starts to play with more often on later releases, and something that fits their style quite well.
Overall, "This is Love, This is Murderous" shows why the band deserves the recognition they get, and marks the beginning of Bleeding Through on a nation wide scale. Prior releases to this album lacked the extra flare that the band began to experiment with on this release. "This is Love, This is Murderous" was the album that marked Bleeding Through's coming into their own, in terms of style, sound, production, and overall quality. A great album from start to finish, with a few tracks that stand above the rest. Anyone who appreciates Metalcore or Hardcore music will find something worth listening to on this album.

ジャンル的にはメタルコアなのだろうが、Voはフィル・アンセルモ(PANTERA)みたいで良いし、スラッシュ・アルバムとしても楽しめた。部分部分をカチッと締めるのではなく、ハードコア由来の(?)血が滾るようなエネルギーで攻め倒し、リフの裏を不穏に飾るキーボードも良い感じ。
trustkill所属なのでハードコア・ファンはチェック済みでしょうから、SLAYERとかTHE CROWNとかのメタル・ファンにもお勧めしたいです。
