Bleed From Within Announce 2026 Tour with Sylosis
Scottish metal titans Bleed From Within are thrilled to announce their very first North American headline run, The Zenith Tour. The 27-date trek will kick off on April 2nd (Worcester, MA) and run through May 7th (New York, NY), with stops in Montreal, Chicago, LA, and Dallas. Joining the band as special guests are UK metal powerhouse Sylosis, along with Great American Ghost, and Life Cycles.
Bleed From Within stated: “The time has finally come! Ever since our first show in the US back in 2023, we knew we had to get over there and headline; the atmosphere was electric. Now, Zenith has given us the perfect platform, and we are very proud to announce our very first North American headline tour! The tour lasts for 5 weeks and covers a lot of ground. We cannot wait to bring this show to you all.
Support comes from our very close friends in Sylosis, one of the finest UK metal bands to ever do it. We are also bringing our brothers in Great American Ghost with us once more (they opened the European leg of this tour) and Life Cycles, one of our favorite up & coming bands in the US.
Being from a small town in Scotland, this kind of tour is a dream come true. Made even more special by the incredible package that we’ve been able to put together here. Do not miss these shows! See you in 2026.” – Ali, Davie, Goonzi, Kennedy, Steven

About Bleed from Within:
After 20 years, Bleed from Within have reached their Zenith. The Glasgow firebrands are one of the hardest working acts in metal: playing shows globally with everyone from Megadeth to Slipknot, all while writing and regularly releasing monstrous, exhilarating songs. The upward journey reaches new heights on their seventh album, which contains the band’s heaviest, catchiest, and most intrepid music to date.
Bleed – vocalist Scott Kennedy, guitarists Craig “Goonzi” Gowans and Steven Jones, drummer Ali Richardson, and bassist Davie Provan – have long been Scottish metal’s most valued sons, constantly at the vanguard of muscular-sounding music. First albums, Humanity (2009) and Empire (2010), made them cult figureheads in the deathcore scene, before Uprising (2013) broadened their palate with groove metal adrenaline and melodic death metal prowess. It also marked their major-label debut, catapulting them onto tours with heavy royalty.
In 2018, the band returned with the ferocious Era. Then, follow-ups Fracture (2020) and Shrine (2022) proved their greatest triumphs to date, intertwining Scott’s snarls with Steven’s majestic singing. The millions of streams gathered by such singles as “The End of All We Know,” “Into Nothing,” and “Levitate” proved Bleed had become the next big thing. On Zenith – which was announced alongside career-affirming tours with Slipknot, Trivium, and Bullet for My Valentine – the quintet are primed to leap into superstardom.
Across 11 songs, Zenith explores the parameters of what pulse-pounding metal can do. “Violent Nature” is the most attention-demanding opener Bleed have ever penned, accelerating from a distorted intro to an onslaught of drums, blitzkrieg riffs, and layer upon layer of screams. Single “In Place of Your Halo” is a heavier counterpoint: its hulking groove leads up to a surprising bagpipe section, keeping the band in touch with their homeland as they affirm themselves on the world’s stage. From the bold string sections throughout the album to finale “Edge of Infinity,” which rises from acoustic guitars and singing to an almighty crescendo, Bleed’s horizons have never been broader. Yet, their songs have never felt so invigorating across the board.
