After 20 years, Bleed from Within have reached their Zenith. The Glasgow firebrands are one of the hardest working acts in metal: playing shows globally with everyone from Megadeth to Slipknot, all while writing and regularly releasing monstrous, exhilarating songs. The upward journey reaches new heights on their seventh album, which contains the band’s heaviest, catchiest and most intrepid music to date.
Bleed – vocalist Scott Kennedy, guitarists Craig “Goonzi” Gowans and Steven Jones, drummer Ali Richardson and bassist Davie Provan – have long been Scottish metal’s most valued sons, constantly at the vanguard of muscular-sounding music.
On Zenith the quintet are primed to leap into superstardom. “We came up with the name Zenith because, if somebody or a band is described as being at their ‘zenith’, then they’re at their highest point so far,” says Ali. “We’re acknowledging everything that we’ve done to get to where we are now, but also recognising the space above us and how far we still have to go. There’s been so much growth, but we still have so much to experiment with.” Across 11 songs, Zenith explores the parameters of what pulse-pounding metal can do.
