Visceral Bleeding (V.B) is a death metal band from Sweden.
Biography
The band 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 under the name "Internal Decomposition." It was generally well received. 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 the Internal Decomposition demo. Noticing this, the band was signed to Neurotic Records. They immeaditly began to write their second full length, Transcend into Ferocity. As with Remnants of Deprivation, another member quit with the release of Transcend into Ferocity. This time it was Dennis Röndum who quit, also leaving to join Spawn of Possession as their drummer.
A replacement was found in Martin Pedersen who immediately joined in. He joined Visceral Bleeding as they toured across Europe to help solidify their status in the genre, supporting other bands such as Deicide and Obituary.
During the writing of the bands third full length, 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]
Style
Visceral Bleeding are one of a handful of brutal death metal bands hailing from Sweden. 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. 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.
Bands that show examples of Visceral Bleedings stylistic tendencies are Spawn of Possession, Avulsed, Psycroptic, Suffocation, Pyaemia, Deeds of Flesh, Gorgasm, Nile, Cryptopsy, Necrophagist and Hypocrisy.
