New album, “Monarchs”, out now!
Born from the fertile grounds of Miami’s underground scene, Bleeth has long been at the forefront of post-metal innovation, blending crushing sludge riffs with immersive, atmospheric soundscapes. On May 29, 2025, the Cuban-American trio released their latest album, “Monarchs”, continuing their exploration of genre-bending heaviness and emotional intensity.
For fans of Caveman Cult, Weedeater, ASG , and anyone drawn to the darker corners of heavy music, “Monarchs” represents Bleeth at their most focused and ferocious yet. The album was recorded and mixed by Ryan Haft, mastered by Carl Saff , and features band members Lauren Palma (guitar, vocals), Ryan Rivas (bass, vocals), and Juan Londoño (drums). The album design was crafted by Lauren Palma, and vinyl pressings are being handled by Donaldson Record Pressing Co.
Bleeth’s journey has been defined by relentless evolution. Following their self-released 2015 EP Re-animator, the band caught the attention of Anti-Language Records, releasing their full-length debut Geomancer in 2018. Their sophomore effort, Harbinger (Seeing Red Records, 2021), saw Bleeth exploring atmospheric post-metal with introspective themes surrounding faith, society, and the unknown future. The subsequent album, Marionette, pushed further into the exploration of control, fear, and duality, offering a sonic and emotional journey through the tension between light and dark, freedom and oppression.
With “Monarchs,” Bleeth continues this trajectory, building on their signature blend of heaviness and experimentation while pushing into new territory. The album reflects the lived experience of existing between worlds, inspired by Gloria Anzaldúa’s Borderlands/La Frontera: The New Mestiza , and grapples with cultural identity, gender fluidity, and the spectrum of queerness.
