Kingdom
Watch Me Bleed

June 18, 2012
WATCH ME BLEED brought out their debut album in 2009. In March 2011 WATCH ME BLEED teamed up with Producer Eike Freese to start writing songs for their new album. And recently they did release their second album "Kingdom" through SAOL Music. A Modern Thrash / Groove Metal album with a touch of Dark Pirate Metal if I may say so.
WATCH ME BLEED as Dark Thrashing Metal Pirates out in the open sea on their grooving sailing ship with a ton of hard rowing men in a steady rhythm to give the ship some extra speed on their way from their "Kingdom" of war and Death. But the weather is rough and the waves are high as they're on their journey to the distant shores of other kingdoms they're planning to destroy by spreading chaos, war and fire.
Unstoppable is how WATCH ME BLEED does sound with their second album "Kingdom". Unstoppable on their treasure hunt, no matter how much boundaries they have to break, no matter how rough the weather is and no matter how distant the shores seem to be due to the view blocking sky high waves. Not afraid to pull the trigger and kill along their way. And when the world stops moving, they're just moving on.
No sweet clear voices can be found on "Kingdom" and even sweet melodies are like the eye of a storm, temporarily and not meant to last. Instead WATCH ME BLEED shows anger, hate and destruction with their pounding drums, raging guitar, steady bass, dark growls, grunts, screams and whispers inside a teamwork that contains the energy to break down own boundaries and move on, despite stormy weather.
WATCH ME BLEED made a follow up of their debut album "Souldrinker" and even though they might have lost some speed, they're still fast enough and gained more strength over the years to put down the energy to sustain their own "Kingdom".
