For over thirty years, Long Island, New York-based INTERNAL BLEEDING has been stabbed in the back, has suffered through terrible tragedies, and has experienced frustrating setbacks. However, they have not let these challenges define them. The pent-up anger, frustration, and feelings of betrayal of the past three decades have been crystalized and synthesized into their seventh album, Settle All Scores.

Through their previous six albums and numerous tours and festivals across the globe, INTERNAL BLEEDING has not just been a part of the underground extreme music scene; they have shaped it. Their first album, Voracious Contempt, defined the slam genre and brought the term “slam” to a global audience. By combining the power of death metal with grooves inspired by New York hardcore and hip hop, INTERNAL BLEEDING laid down a blueprint that has been imitated and revered by countless bands. Each of their albums offers fans a different sound and approach, from the obscene heaviness of The Extinction Of Benevolence to the more complex rhythms found in Imperium and Corrupting Influence to the hardcore-tinged attack of Driven To Conquer and Onward To Mecca. And with Settle All ScoresINTERNAL BLEEDING expands what is possible in the genre they created and never loses sight of their core sound.

Currently embodied by vocalist Steve Worley, guitarist/vocalist Chris McCarthy, guitarist Chris Pervelis, drummer Kyle Eddy and bassist Ryan Giordano, INTERNAL BLEEDING bulldozes everything in its path with the eight new tracks delivered on Settle All Scores, a personal album that directly aims at those who have done the band wrong. It is a testament to the band’s resilience and strength in adversity. Prepare yourself; Settle All Scores is the most aggressive, slam-filled INTERNAL BLEEDING album to date.

Produced by INTERNAL BLEEDING, re-amped and mixed by Taylor Young at The Pit Studio in Sunland, California (Nails, Xibalba, God’s Hate), and mastered by Brad Boatright at Audiosiege (Obituary, Creeping Death, Vastum), the production on Settle All Scores is simply decimating. The album is completed with cover art by Mark Richards (Heavy Hand Illustration, Tomb Gallery & Tattoo) and photography by Paul McNeill. Additionally, guest vocals are provided by Sherwood Webber of Skinless, Mikey Petroski of Never Ending Game, and former INTERNAL BLEEDING vocalists Joe Marchese, Jay Lowe, and Frank Rini.

With the lead warning shot from the Settle All Scores, the band collectively declares, “‘Crown Of Insignificance’ is about a few specific people in the scene. It’s up to you to figure out who we’re talking about.”

Ryan Giordano elaborates, “‘Crown Of Insignificance’ is the first song Chris and I collaborated on. It was a great experience getting his input on things, and we worked hard to put together something that both honors the past and looks to the future.”

Chris Pervelis adds, “‘Crown Of Insignificance’ is a great example of how we’ve successfully incorporated dual vocals into our sound. While we experimented with dual vocals on our previous album, we never felt they were fully integrated. This time, however, we believe they are, and we are very pleased with the results.”

Listen to INTERNAL BLEEDING’s merciless “Crown Of Insignificance” now at THIS LOCATION.

Settle All Scores will be released through Maggot Stomp on LP, CD, MC, and digitally on October 17th. Physical and digital preorders and presaves can be placed HERE.
