 In an interview for Gravemusic.com, Haake stated, "['Bleed'] was a big effort for me to learn, I had to find a totally new approach to playing the double bass drums to be able to do that stuff.I had never really done anything like that before like the fast bursts that go all the way through the song basically.So I actually spent as much time practicing that track alone as I did with all of the other tracks combined.
