Style
Sonically, Bleeder contains influences of speed and thrash metal, early hardcore punk, rock'n'roll, NWOBHM, sludge metal, stoner rock, and psychedelic rock.[5][6][4] Dan Caffrey from Consequence noted that Bleeder has a more polished sound than on Mutoid Man's debut EP Helium Head, where there is more emphasis on singing than "the constant yowl Brodsky put forth on Helium Head."[3] Pitchfork has considered Bleeder to have metallic hardcore in their sound that also includes "both numbskull hard rock and cerebral progressive metal, at a time when the two approaches have become almost mutually exclusive in heavy music."[2]
