Bleeding Through and Unearth Bring the Headbangers Out Tonight with LA Showcase

 

It’s been about 10 years since catching metalcore act Unearth and a little over 15 years since last seeing Bleeding Through. Now so many years later, catching both together at the local LA County venue 1720 right next to Skid Row in Downtown Los Angeles, it was quite a night!

Having arrived at the venue a little after doors had opened around 6PM, with the openers already performing, missing their showcases was so last minute sadly. Following those performances would be Unearth co-headlining with Bleeding Through and their set was extensive. As soon as they started performing the whole venue went insane. Nobody stood still, every which way was total movement. People diving off the stage, the mosh pit exploded with so much pushing and dancing it was intense. Unearth’s performance was fantastic, a lot of the songs taken from previous older releases, getting the audience’s reaction in an uproar of excitement. There was so much excitement that fans leapt off the stage, into the audience that caused some minor injuries, some people getting hit and banged up. But that didn’t stop the chaos that kept getting intenser by the minute, that a lot of the people were leaving it got so nutty. But that just meant that Unearth did a fine job of getting everyone’s attention.

UNEARTH:

Following them would be headliners Bleeding Through, who went through an impressive set list of a lot of older tracks such as “On Wings of Lead”, “Kill to Believe”, “Revenge I Seek”, and “Love Lost in a Hail of Gunfire”, among others like “Rise” and “For Love and Failing”. About a 12 song setlist was played in total, having the frontman enter the crowd and mosh pit amongst the crowd of on lookers, who jumped around him whilst he sang. Other times had many stage diving a few times, with others dancing and pushing one another. It was such a chaotic night, but so much fun and tiring too.

BLEEDING THROUGH:

 

All in all Bleeding Through and Unearth are both acts that capture that true essence of the early 2000’s metal scene, capturing that same vibe of energy right here tonight. Everyone was having fun, enjoying themselves, and just taking in all there was to take which was music.
