Bleed the Fifth is the debut studio album by Divine Heresy, released in the United States on August 28, 2007. The album sold approximately 2,700 copies in its first week of release.[9] The album name is a play on the American judicial system Fifth Amendment (To plead the Fifth Amendment). This is the only album to feature original vocalist Tommy Vext, who later departed from the band after an on-stage altercation.

"Failed Creation" served as the album's lead single. Its music video received airplay on MTV2's Headbangers Ball upon release.
