Bleeth, the Cuban-American trio from Miami, emerges once again with their crushing blend of stoner metal and sludge metal, releasing their new album »Marionette«, a visceral exploration of control, fear, and resilience.
A Story of Destruction and Rebirth
The journey toward »Marionette« has been anything but smooth. The album was largely written during a 10-day writing session in Mexico City, sparked by an unexpected series of events. The band’s original drummer, displaced due to visa issues following a shift in government policy, found temporary refuge in Mexico, where the creative process took on new life. The backdrop of political turmoil, personal struggles, and an uncertain future wove itself into the very fabric of the music.

Adding to the challenges, Bleeth also endured a devastating house fire that destroyed their bassist’s home, leaving him and his family with nothing. Yet, through adversity, the band pressed on, determined to bring »Marionette« to life.
»Marionette« explores themes of fear, control, and manipulation. It’s an emotional and sonic journey that delves into duality – the tension between light and dark, freedom and oppression. Drawing inspiration from Gloria Anzaldúa’s Borderlands/La Frontera: The New Mestiza, the album captures the lived experience of existing between worlds. Bleeth explores the complexities of identity, grappling with the fluidity of self. This includes navigating the intersections of cultural identity, gender expression, and sexuality, embracing the fluidity of being neither fully Cuban nor fully American, neither fully man nor woman, and the ever-shifting spectrum of queerness. It’s a reflection of our personal experiences, struggles, and the complexities of living in the borderlands, both physically and metaphorically.
