From the Artist

"The songs talk about some of the fear and pain you go through when you're trying to change things for the better," says Talley. "The title reflects what we all have gone through as we've cut ties to situations in our lives that weren't positive." "The pure, raw heaviness that we like to write and that we love to play onstage came out on this record. I feel like we found our own definable style of writing on this record." "The songs talk about some of the fear and pain you go through when you're trying to change things for the better," - Jeremy Talley (guitar).

Product Description

After penning 12 songs The Bled entered the studio in March `07 with producer Brian McTernan (Converge, Strike Anywhere, Thrice) in Baltimore, MD, where they spent six and a half weeks tracking a total of 14 songs that were eventually reduced to the 11 charging, compelling tracks that compose Silent Treatment. Encouraged by the results of friends' bands' work with McTernan, The Bled elected to take advantage of the producer's skills and positive work ethic in the studio.

5.0 out of 5 stars nothing silent about it, September 30, 2007

The Bled return with what I think is their most impressive album to date. With producer Brian McTernnan at the helm they have produced a competent, fierce and well put together album. This is better than Found in the Flood and it matches and I think surpasses Pass the flask in intensity. Having heard "Shadetree Mechanics" on their myspace site I knew that they were going to try and put everything on this album and I think they have done a great job. The only breaks from the screams come from the beginning of "Asleep on the front lines" and some spoken parts in various other songs and some great chorus fills like on "Silver Lining". I was hoping that they wouldn't drop the ball on this album and I'm very happy to say that they didn't.

This distinct, innovative, creative, and insane hardcore band tears fans a new one after claiming they "wussed out" on their last disc (2005's "Found In The Flood"). Their new effort surpasses their previous, but not their 2003 debut "Pass The Flask."

The Bled has finally redeemed themselves since their last CD, Found in the Flood. They're back to their old roots!
