Slam death metal veterans Internal Bleeding are bringing their latest album, Settle All Scores, to European fans with an official CD release through Back On Black. The record initially dropped in October 2025 in the US, and now it’s getting its physical format debut overseas.
Formed in 1991 by guitarist Chris Pervelis, Internal Bleeding helped define the raw sound of slam death metal. Their early releases like Invocation of Evil and Perpetual Degradation weren’t just building their own reputation; they were laying down the blueprint for an entire subgenre. It was all about brutal heaviness mixed with those signature groove-driven hooks.
The band kept pushing, expanding their legacy with albums such as Voracious Contempt and Driven to Conquer. They toured constantly, playing alongside bands like Immolation and Six Feet Under. Through setbacks, lineup changes, and the usual industry grind, Internal Bleeding stayed a resilient, uncompromising force.
Then, in 2017, tragedy hit. Drummer Bill Tolley, a dedicated New York City firefighter, lost his life while serving his community. That was a profound blow. But the band has honored his memory, carrying his legacy forward through their music and continued perseverance.
Now signed to Maggot Stomp Records, Internal Bleeding moved forward with renewed purpose. That led to Settle All Scores, which is a furious, no-holds-barred statement. It reaffirms exactly why they’re still a dominant and defiant name in the genre.
With Settle All Scores, Internal Bleeding proves once again why they remain one of the most respected names in extreme music. European fans can finally experience the full force of the album on CD.
