Controlled Bleeding is an experimental music ensemble that has traversed various musical territories throughout their extensive recording history. Formed in Boston in the late 1970s by Paul Lemos, the band has undergone numerous lineup changes and stylistic evolutions, persistently defying easy categorization. Originally dabbling in crude noise and abrasive industrial soundscapes, as exemplified by their harrowing release "Knees & Bones," Controlled Bleeding have ventured into everything from avant-garde jazz to classical, ambient, and even progressive rock.

Their discography is as eclectic as it is voluminous, with releases like "Core" and "Curd" showcasing their noise and industrial roots, while "Between Tides" reveals a delicate, often melodic side to their oeuvre. The 2016 album "Larva Lumps and Baby Bumps" marked a significant return to form and continued their tradition of sonic experimentation, along with its counterpart "Larva Lumps and Baby Bumps (Bisi Sessions)." Their work is characterized by a relentless exploration of sound and texture, earning them a dedicated following among connoisseurs of the avant-garde. With recent works such as "Music for Gilded Chambers" and "Music from the Scourging Ground," Controlled Bleeding continues to push boundaries, ensuring their place as one of the most inventive and unpredictable entities in the underground music scene.
