All Shall Perish

All Shall Perish is a death core band from the LA area that have been running the scene for quite some time. All Shall Perish brings a machine gun fury of brutal death metal on your ears. No bullshit stage antics, no backtracks, just a forty five minute assault of blazing guitars and powerful drums.

If getting scared sounds like your brand of fun this is the band for you. They bring back the feeling of watching a horror movie and wanting to hide your face with a blanket. They pound your ear drums into submission and you will love it. M The crowd started moshing as soon as the band got on stage.

All Shall Perish is super tight not missing a single thirty second note throughout their whole set(which is hard to do considering the speed and technicality of their music). Eddie Hermida shrieks and growls across the stage like a satanic demon unleashed upon the world. Eddie would keep yelling for more energy throughout the night and the crowd never gave up.

When the opening riff of Wage Slaves started the audience went completely nuts and the whole ballroom turned into a giant battlefield of moshing.

Orange County’s Bleeding Through have a truly individual sound and, considering how devastatingly heavy they, it’s surprising they ever found the level of commercial success they did with their albums. That being said, the metalcore fusion band never lost touch with their underground roots and their live tours have tended to be in club venues or as a support act, especially here in the UK. The first time I saw them was supporting Machine Head at Brixton Academy, London, in 2010. Over the years, since their formation in 1999, the band have evolved their sound to balance standard US metalcore, hardcore punk and melodic death metal, embellishing their fast-paced racket with occasional clean vocals and heavy washes of keys. My favourite albums were their trio of Trustkill Records albums: This Is Love, This Is Murderous; The Truth; and Declaration. When I saw them in London their set leaned heavily on these records, with Brandan Schieppati’s vocals effortlessly switching between demented guttural barking and eerie melodic vocals. The guitars were incredibly frantic, featuring chugging metalcore riffs, Slayer-fast solos and interesting black metal-type shredding. They were just as good as I could’ve hoped, if not better; in fact, their songs had much more impact live than on CD.
I heard that Bleeding Through might be calling it a day soon, which would be a real blow to both the heavy metal and hardcore scenes!
