Time Has Come - The Bleeding CD

DIY 2014
A decade ago on Myspace THC melted my brain with tech/grind/jazz hardcore. Now the Germans release the groove/djent/breakdown laden The Bleeding: a cultivated beast of an album. The time between has seen bands and entire genres rise and fall, and this album – with dexterity, candour, and commercial savvy – sums up what has happened, and indeed betters many of the efforts therein. Repeated listenings reveal a convincing album narrative, brilliant production, and a genuinely affecting ‘Noir’ atmosphere. Considering their history, it shows THC to be determined to reach a wider audience. I applaud them, and look forward to their future.
