BLEED FROM WITHIN
INGESTED THE DOME, LONDON
Scottish metalcore heavies prepare for ascension
Bleed From Within: hellishly good
JAMES SHARROCK
IN THE SPACE of four years, Bleed From Within have rocketed from total inactivity to one of Britain’s hottest metal bands. 2018’s comeback album Era featured some of the most rabid metalcore released in aeons and follow-up Fracture only aggravated that furore.
Since then they’ve decimated the Download Pilot, held their own against Bullet For My Valentine and, now, have sold out their biggest ever London headliner. If the excitement is already simmering, then Manchester’s INGESTED make it boil over. Singer Jason Evans dubs the band “your friendly neighbourhood slam kings” and, over 45 minutes, they earn their crown. Beatdown after beatdown ignites early-evening crowdsurfers, while a moshpit whirls at the heart of the Dome. On any other night this lot might have been show-stealers; unfortunately for them though, BLEED FROM WITHIN are about to bring arena-worthy spectacle to a club gig.
