History

CONTROLLED BLEEDING were performing 'industrial' music long before the term became fashionable. During their formative years, the band combined the literal assault of their listeners with bruising, massive layers of screaming feedback and pure power electonics with a lighter, classically ambient softness. Throughout their mid-80's Wax Trax! work and most notably on their first Third Mind release, CONTROLLED BLEEDING beacme interested in a more melodic song form, while retaining their signature aggressive punch and dignified gentility.
