Bleed is the fourth studio album by German power metal band Angel Dust, released on 12 October 1999.
Reception
AllMusic 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." 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. DanDevil, writing for Metal.de, commented that the album "continues the path taken with" its predecessor, Border of Reality. 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."
