"i first got into bleeding through after i heard lost in a hail of gunfire. after hearing the song i went out and got this is love, this is murerderous and thought they killed it! but after listening to the record it all started to sound the same with a few tracks that really stood out to me, i was really reluctant to pick up portrait but when i did i fell in love with this band again! this album is way better than this is love, i just can't stop listening to it. but this group has a lot of promise and they seem to only keep getting better because the truth kills everything! i can't decide which is better though the truth or portrait. the truth musically is brutal but i could have done with out all the clean vocals and the only slow track that's on it, but the keyboards and drums kill! anyways, promising band."

Very Good

"While Bleeding Throughs Portrait Of A Godess doesnt add much new to the table, it is still a very good album. I would definetely recommend this instead of This Is Love This Is Murderous. TILTIM is a pretty generic and boring album. True, Bleeding Through are your typical metalcore band, but they play their music with more passion, fury, aggression and energy than most of them out there. The musicianship is pretty good, especially the drumming. The keyboards in this CD are also pretty interesting. The keyboardist Marta doesnt play anything hard or complicated, but she does add a different element to the music. The highlight tracks here are "Rise" and "Portrait Of A Goddess", two of the most aggressive metalcore songs that youll ever hear. Recommended"

Portrait Of The Goddess

"Bleeding Through-Portrait Of The Goddess ****



Portrait Of The Goddess is your factory made metalcore album. Nothing truly original or mind blowing, just heavy as hell metal. Low tuned, fast riffing guitars, one note bass, keyboard interludes, blast beats, and a lot of screams. Basically the formula for a basic metalcore album...or Portrait Of A Goddess.



That doesn't mean there is anything wrong with the album. It is good, no make that great at what it is. It is a solid album with no weak points what so ever. But because of the lack of originality giving it a five star rating would be a little bit of a stretch. So while not a metal classic, Portrait Of The Goddess is a solid album worthy of any metal collection."
