Bleedience, who hails from Norway, serves up an excellent mix of black and death metal. Despite having a hard time settling in, I'm really starting to dig this band. The opener, "Kristtorn I," is a very intense blackish song that is very rudely interrupted by a break that reminds me of Deuteronomium's "Human Nature." The song "Nocturne" give us a little bit of a mellower side to the band with some soothing female vocals laid over the shredding music. Overall, the band is fairly interesting musically with blistering guitars and blasting, while not afraid to mix in a little variety. Vocally I really love the black vocals, which contrast well with the clean male and female vocals. The band can lull you a little with the mellow parts, but as a whole this is a solid debut from a band that has great potential.
