Watch Me Bleed - a new kick-ass metal outfit whose tagline is PEPARE FOR METAL!!!. No trends - no bullshit .

The band came together in spring 2007 and was the brainchild of Markus Pohl, guitarist of Symphorce and Mystic Prophecy, and his Symphorce partner-in-crime, drummer Steffen Theurer. With Kickdown - frontman Chris Rodens drafted in a couple of weeks later, the outfit was
complete and, remarkably, were ready to hit the stage six weeks later, supporting Stone Sour. After that blast, playing a sold out club without really rehearsing and all new songs...and see the audience screaming and slaming the whole club...the project became a real band. Watch Me Bleed started to play more and more gigs all across europe.

In 2008 Markus Wenzel from the Austrian Deathcore-heroes Inzest joined the band, a second singer who adds more aggression and uniqueness with his unbelieveable Death-Metal-voice. And with this two aggressive singers, the band added a lot of variety to their music.

In 2009 the band recorded their debut-album “Souldrinker”, produced and mixed by Christian “Moschus” Moos (Delain, Everon, C-187...) and mastered by Eroc (Sodom, Delain and many more...). “Souldrinker” contains eleven songs with guest appearances by Andy B. Franck (Brainstorm), Nemesis (Eigensinn) and Greek guitar-wizard Constantine (Mystic Prophecy, The Descending).

It’s Thrash, Death, and a dash of Hardcore – mixed to a modern and exciting metal-sound. Technical finesse contrasted with raw power, a heavy rhythm section, aggressive vocals, melodic bits & pieces ... Watch Me Bleed is the melting pot where all these ingredients were forged into real, hard and crushing METAL.”

Or as Chris Rodens says, “This is where Markus Pohl can really show his full songwriting skills for the first time; no limits. And he really brought some great songs to the table.” It’s raw, heavy, Twenty-First Century metal, with maybe a twist of prime-time Pantera groove in the blend.

Listen to songs like ‘Rise’ - one foot on the aggression pedal and a contrasting big sing-a-long chorus; an immediate and accessible slice of physical metal or ‘SixSixSeven’ - an altogether slower, riff-driven monster, cleverly constructed, but delivered with the full force of a jackhammer.

Watch Me Bleed – Metal with a capital M. The vocals are aggressive, the guitars are in-your-face, and the rhythm section is rock solid. What more could you ask for in a metal band?
