[edit] Biography

Visceral Bleeding was formed sometime in the late nineties by Peter Persson and Niklas Dewerud. Influenced by bands such as Suffocation and Monstrosity, they performed what they thought the death metal scene was lacking. Once Calle Löfgren joined on bass, Dennis Röndum doing vocals and Marcus Nilsson joined to play lead, they released a demo; Internal Decomposition. It was generally well received.[citation needed] Once signed, they wrote a new album, titled Remnants of Deprivation. It took only a three week period in the studio to record all the tracks. After the release of the CD, Niklas left Visceral Bleeding to focus all his attention to the technical death metal band Spawn of Possession.

Shortly after Niklas left, he was replaced by Tobias Persson. After a few band practices, he became a permanent member of the band. While this happened, Remnants of Deprivation was being as well received as Internal Decomposition.[citation needed] Noticing this, the band was signed to Neurotic Records. They immediately began to write their second full length album, Transcend into Ferocity. As with Remnants of Deprivation, another member quit with the release of Transcend into Ferocity. This time it was Dennis Röndum, also leaving to join Spawn of Possession; this time as their drummer.

A replacement was found in Martin Pedersen who immediately joined Visceral Bleeding. He joined the band as they toured across Europe to help solidify their status in the genre, supporting other bands such as Obituary and Deicide.

During the writing of the bands third full length album, Absorbing the Disarray, Nilsson decided that he needed to step back from the scene, and left them with Martin Bermheden. Absorbing the Disarray would later be released in June 2006. After the release, Calle got married and had a daughter. He felt it necessary to step away from the band for an undisclosed amount of time while Martin Eklöv filled in for him on the following tour with Deicide, Cryptopsy and Skinless.[1]

[edit] Style

Visceral Bleeding are one of a handful of brutal death metal bands hailing from Sweden.[citation needed] This style of death metal incorporates very fast razor sharp palm muted staccato runs through their riffs, as well as hammering out an intricate machine code of blast-beat oriented death metal riffs, although (as is common amongst brutal death metal bands) many elements of thrash and even some hardcore influences are also present.[citation needed] Visceral Bleeding also incorporates uncommon time signatures, such as 13/8ths, into their music, making it not only a challenging listen, but extremely difficult to execute on stage.[citation needed]
