Bleed This Earth are a melodic funeral doom band based in Wellington, New Zealand. Drawing influences from the more old-school, English side of doom metal and modern funeral doom pioneers Ahab, the music is heavy and features growling vocals and a mix of melodic lead lines and crushing riffs.

Bleed This Earth released their self-titled debut album in April 2020, and their awaited follow up »The Slow Decline« was released in March 2022. »The Slow Decline« continues the evolution of their sound into alternative song structures while remaining oppressively heavy.

Their latest release, »The Shapes That Stood In Silence«, releases on all platforms on September 6, 2024. Album was mixed and mastered by Justin Chorley.

For fans of Ahab, My Dying Bride, Mournful Congregation, and old school doom metal.

“A mother and father die in an accident, leaving behind their little girl. As spirits, they return each night to watch over her as she sleeps, but the girl no longer recognises them. To her, they appear as dark, ghastly figures that loom over her bed and terrify her beyond measure.

Watching their child tremble with fear at the sight of them once again, the parents decide that, as a final act of kindness, they must say their last goodbyes and abandon her forever.”
