Reception
AllMusic's Jason Anderson referred to the album as "an interesting blend of metal subgenres that unfortunately doesn't add up to the sum of its parts."[1] Boris Kaiser of Rock Hard assigned it a rating of 8.5, calling it an "extremely strong album" and noting stylistic similarities to Dream Theater and Savatage.[3] DanDevil, writing for Metal.de, commented that the album "continues the path taken with" its predecessor, Border of Reality.[4] In a 9/10 review for Chronicles of Chaos, Adrian Bromley noted "intricate guitar riffs, truly amazing melodic vocals and great atmosphere" as "the key to their success with Bleed."[2]
