The title track opens up the EP with an eruption of Metalcore sound. The breakneck pace sets the tone early as it barrels full speed ahead with the Melodic Metalcore path akin to As I Lay Dying. The circle pit intensity is off the charts even before the second verse starts. The clean sung chorus isn't too much as it stays within the early days of Melodic Metalcore vibes. There's a slight guitar solo around the two minute mark that gives way to a bridge that punishes the listeners with a thunderous breakdown that takes it towards the three minute mark. The last minute of the track features the chorus, a swirling guitar riff and an all out chaotic Metal ending to cap things off. "Empires" keeps the Metal party churning along at a full clip. The devastating riffs and breakdown lead into a clean sung chorus that takes the track to greater heights. The breakdown that ensues after is heavy and unrelenting. The circle pit riffage comes out to play around the two minute mark that sets up a bouncy breakdown before the chorus kicks back in before the track really lets loose at the ending. "Nature of Blood" opens with a Parkway Drive "Ire" era like riff before exploding into a more controlled chaos Metal sound. The near five minute track is more showcases the more methodical heaviness that the band has to offer as it bares its teeth. "Terra Firma" caps things off with a more bouncy Metal sound and brings with it a more melody. There's shades of All That Remains, Bullet For My Valentine and Atreyu within the riffs and melodies. The radio friendly track still has the edge and breakdowns galore but is more clean sung than previous tracks. The EP is a fantastic offering of four tracks and we can't wait to hear more!

Verdict:
Bleed the Fifth brings back the early 00's Melodic Metalcore sound and gives it a modern twist via their new EP.
