BLEED THE SKY LAUNCH NEW LINE-UP, NEW ALBUM, AND NEW TOUR

Migrating back to their place of birth after a two-year stint in Los Angeles and
sporting three new band members, Oklahoma City’s BLEED THE SKY are proud to announce
they’re ready to hit the road in support of their “end-all, be-all” new album,
Murder The Dance – released on June 10th and produced & engineered by Christian Olde
Wolbers (Fear Factory), mixed by Ben Schigel (Chimaira, Drowning Pool), and mastered
by Matt Rosebery. Murder The Dance is the follow-up to the band’s 2005 debut album,
Paradigm In Entropy, which sold over 10,000 copies.

Warming up with four shows in Texas before joining Straightline Stitch, Within
Chaos, Ekotren on their first headlining, 26-date tour for this album cycle, BTS
vocalist Noah Robinson shares some additional information about the album:

“We had several guest vocalists on Murder The Dance. A lot of people think that you
only bring in guest vocalists when you yourself are out of ideas, but that couldn’t
be further from the truth. First off, we had our friend Jeremy Hall [from San
Diego-based bands Audkik & Dying Regret] come in to track ‘The Sleeping Beauty.’
Nobody understood the meaning of this song more than him, and when I explained that
to him, he said he’d be honored. Once we had our vocals tracked on ‘Occam’s Razor,’
we were listening back to it and [producer] Christian [Wolbers] suggested Martina
Axen [former Drain STH drummer] come in and guest. She was thrilled and I could not
have been happier to see her in action. Last but certainly not least was our boy
Jon ‘The Hoff’ Howard [vocalist for Canadian-based label mates Threat Signal]
tracking vocals on ‘Vertical Smile.’ We’ve all been huge fans of Threat Signal even
before they were signed, so we seized this opportunity to finally get to work with
Jon. The new line-up is… let me put it this way: Our video director David Brodsky
[Hate Eternal, The Red Chord, Soilent Green] beat us into the ground when were
shooting for ‘Sullivan,’ and everyone was headbanging like maniacs at 8 a.m. without
an audience and without even stretching or warming up. Things can only get better
once we’re back on the road. I’ll say it again and again – I can’t wait to show
everyone the new BLEED THE SKY!”

Justin Warrick, formerly of the Southern California band Rev, recently joined the
band’s ranks as their rhythm and lead guitarist. BLEED THE SKY’s new line-up is:

· Noah Robinson – Vocals

· Ryan Clark – Bass

· Rob Thornton – Rhythm & Lead Guitar

· Justin Warrick – Rhythm & Lead Guitar

· Austin D’Amond – Drums
