Pure talent make up the
Industrial Melodic Kaos; the sound of BLEED. The LA based band has been honing their sound for about eighteen months, recording and producing at August Again Studios, owned by guitarist and engineer Bob Pace.
Already playing to enthusiastic crowds in Chicago and other part of the Nation, BLEED finally made their debut show in LA last night. Now you may think I am bias, not only because I have witnessed this band grow over the years, but also due to my close relationship with the band. But as they say; the once closed are the worst critics! Lead singer Robin McAuley is used to headlining shows, but was happy to take a support position to Carbon Nine, with this his newest project.

Dave Bates, lead guitar and co-song writer, played the very complex cord structures that make BLEED so unique like a demon. And why wouldn't he, after all he has been featured in 3 Metal Method guitar instructional videos that are distributed worldwide and has recorded and performed with members of David Lee Roth, Dio, Ozzy, Elton John, Night Ranger, Heart, Vince Neil, Social Distortion, Jeff Scott Soto, Hammerfall, Graham Bonnett, Pat Benator, Megadeth, Steve Vai, Buddy Guy, Chaka Kahn, Paul Rodgers and Yngwie Malmsteen to name but a few.

Bob Pace, rhythm guitar, completed the difficult guitar arrangements with excellence and precision. As the owner of August Again Recording Studio, he also lends his engineering expertise to perfect the BLEED sound.

A very tight rhythm section held the foundation, which is made up of Bjorn Englen (bass) and Rick Steele (Drums). Bjorn also no newcomer to the scene has recorded and performed with members of David Lee Roth, Dio, Ozzy, Elton John, Night Ranger, Heart, Vince Neil, Social Distortion, Jeff Scott Soto, Hammerfall, Graham Bonnett, Pat Benator, Megadeth, Steve Vai, Buddy Guy, Chaka Kahn, Paul Rodgers and Yngwie Malmsteen. Newest band member Rick Steele, combines educational knowledge (music minor in college) and his uniquely passionate and versatile drumming style to complete a rock solid base on which all band members can fall back onto.

The atmosphere was electric, the audience was captured and entertained by a different Robin McAuley and it was quite obvious that BLEED not only has a feel of "now"; it belongs into today's music scene!
