BLEED THE SKY were founded by singer Noah Robinson and guitarist Kyle Moorman in Fall 2002 when the two guys messed around writing & playing instrumental songs with just guitars and drum machine. After a short while the duo was joined by drummer Austin D'Amond, second guitar player Wayne Miller, sampler (and former roadie) Puck and bass player Casey Kulek.
Things came together quickly and soon BLEED THE SKY played their first show - after being together only two months - with the well-known Swedish Death metal virtuosi OPETH! Between February 2003 and October 2004 the band played as many gigs as possible and gained more and more attention within the American metal scene. Their shows included a west coast tour with INTEGRITY and an own national tour lasting six weeks and spanning from Southern California to upstate NY.
As a result of the band's ceaseless promotion and constant shows, BLEED THE SKY managed to grab the attention of an A&R for Nuclear Blast and finalized a deal with the label in the recent months. Recording sessions for BLEED THE SKY's first album "Paradigm In Entropy" commenced soon after the signing.
As producer for "Paradigm In Entropy", BLEED THE SKY chose Ben Schigel who's also responsible for the production of CHIMAIRA's "Impossibility Of Reason" plus several albums of acts like INTEGRITY and DROWNING POOL. Ben produced the band's 4-track demo EP in the end of 2003 as well - so the guys didn't have to think twice about what producer to chose. "We chose him because we knew that recording with him was like recording at your best friends house", says Kyle Moorman about the cooperation, "not to mention his amazing skills as a producer!"
Regarding the recording process itself, Kyle reflects: "Working in the studio had a very flexible, spontaneous atmosphere and many parts on the album were written on the spot. Also, having a sampler in the band assured us that we would be able to accurately play the songs live. The songs on the album span back to the very beginning of the band, and were not all written at once for the purpose of writing an album, so to us it's a kind of music biography."
Shortly after "Paradigm In Entropy" was finished, bass player Casey Kulek decided to part ways with BLEED THE SKY and got replaced by new man Daylen Elsey who joined the band just in time to keep them on schedule with shows and everything else coming up.
In latest news, BLEED THE SKY shot a video for the track 'Minion' with director Joe Lynch who has previously worked with such bands as 311, DEVILDRIVER, COAL CHAMBER and KATAKLYSM. The clip will also be featured on "Paradigm In Entropy" as special enhanced part!
