Healing time 8. Christ said 10. Save us 11. After several years of excruciating noise and aural terrorism, Controlled Bleeding took a bit of a left turn with Music From the Scourging Ground . Exploring the area of quiet and occasionally operatic music, this new Controlled Bleeding path rates as my favorite of all the different areas they have covered.
Much space is given in the compositions in relation of one instrument to another.
Joe Papa's voice is the focal point in many songs. Be alert that this album has been essentially rereleased with other tracks as Songs from the Ashes , first on C'est La Morte Records and now Projekt. Either way, it's a good venture for Controlled Bleeding. Review by John Chedsey 1. The shallow sky 2.
