Thine Eyes Bleed is a Canadian melodic death metal quintet from London, Ontario, that rose to prominence in the mid-2000s. The band is perhaps most notable for its high-profile industry connections and touring pedigree, featuring Johnny Araya (brother of Slayer's Tom Araya) on bass.
Their sound identity is a hybrid of the Gothenburg melodic death metal style (In Flames, At The Gates) and the aggressive thrash metal tradition of the 1980s. This blend allowed them to bridge the gap between traditional metal fans and the emerging metalcore audience of the time. Their career peaked with their inclusion on the 2006 Unholy Alliance Tour, where they shared stages with Slayer and Mastodon, cementing their reputation as a formidable live act. Critically, they are viewed as a solid, reliable pillar of the Canadian metal scene, praised for their technical execution and high-energy compositions. Their influence is felt among regional Ontario metal acts that prioritize a balance of melody and extreme aggression.
