5.0 out of 5 stars killer, October 13, 2006

By	Francisco L. Sauceda "hot sauce" (yokosuka, ja) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

i first got into bleeding through after i heard lost in a hail of gunfire. after hearing the song i went out and got this is love, this is murerderous and thought they killed it! but after listening to the record it all started to sound the same with a few tracks that really stood out to me, i was really reluctant to pick up portrait but when i did i fell in love with this band again! this album is way better than this is love, i just can't stop listening to it. but this group has a lot of promise and they seem to only keep getting better because the truth kills everything! i can't decide which is better though the truth or portrait. the truth musically is brutal but i could have done with out all the clean vocals and the only slow track that's on it, but the keyboards and drums kill! anyways, promising band.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Hero's of O.C., July 14, 2004

By	Jason "hammersmashedface" (Sin City) - See all my reviews

Where most bands whine screech along with played out melodies and rhythms, BT has risen above them all. "Dust to Ashes" (this first album I heard) made me smile and seeing the violence live made it alot better. T.L.T.M. mixes the intensity of Cannibal Corpse with the song writing of Porcupine Tree on downers and alcohol. And this amaziing album is no different. This band is alot more straight forward in anger and aggression than most other bands. To me there's no way you can praise this band enough, their song structures, lyrics and even the sheer talent of their instrument playing blows all this radio garbage (korn, slipknot, metallica) into the realms of boybands and pop music. They seem to be getting somewhat popular now though, but they will always be the hero's of the Underground to me. All you hot topic fans need to go listen to some emo and not compare it to real death/hardcore metal, or at least see these guys in concert and mosh for awhile, get those black wire rimmed glass knocked off of your head (that'll give you something to stare at your shoes and cry about). This is most violent show I've seen right next to Cradle of Filth, Cannibal Corpse or Origin.

4.0 out of 5 stars Portrait Of The Goddess, September 29, 2008

By	Morton (Colorado) - See all my reviews

Bleeding Through-Portrait Of The Goddess ****

Portrait Of The Goddess is your factory made metalcore album. Nothing truly original or mind blowing, just heavy as hell metal. Low tuned, fast riffing guitars, one note bass, keyboard interludes, blast beats, and a lot of screams. Basically the formula for a basic metalcore album...or Portrait Of A Goddess.

That doesn't mean there is anything wrong with the album. It is good, no make that great at what it is. It is a solid album with no weak points what so ever. But because of the lack of originality giving it a five star rating would be a little bit of a stretch. So while not a metal classic, Portrait Of The Goddess is a solid album worthy of any metal collection.
