MADiSON ViOLETT has released the official music video for “BLEED FOR ME,” her explosive new single featuring Kellin Quinn of Sleeping With Sirens. The track is streaming now on all major platforms, with the video bringing the song’s emotional intensity to life through a chaotic, cinematic tribute to 2000s emo and post-hardcore culture.
The Los Angeles-based alternative heavy artist leans fully into the visual language of the era that shaped a generation of scene kids, mall goths, eyeliner philosophers, and people who definitely had a My Chemical Romance lyric in an AIM away message. The video pulls from over-the-top high school movie tropes, complete with slow-motion hallway shots, classroom tension, locker-room drama, and reckless house-party energy.
Directed alongside longtime collaborator Christopher Shaibi, the “BLEED FOR ME” video embraces nostalgia without feeling like cosplay. MADiSON ViOLETT described the shoot as a blast to create, saying the goal was to parody cliché 2000s high school films while capturing the camp, chaos, and emotional drama that came with that imagery.
She also pointed to My Chemical Romance’s “I’m Not Okay” video as a major inspiration, calling it one of her favorite pieces of 2000s musical media. That influence comes through clearly in the video’s mix of melodrama, humor, teenage tension, and stylized rebellion.
Musically, “BLEED FOR ME” blends crushing breakdowns, towering hooks, and emotionally charged performances. The song pulls from the raw urgency of 2000s post-hardcore while bringing in the sharper production and cinematic heaviness of contemporary metalcore. Quinn’s feature adds another layer of melody and catharsis, giving the track a strong balance between aggression and vulnerability.
At just 19 years old, MADiSON ViOLETT is already building momentum as an emerging voice in modern heavy music. She first broke onto the scene in 2025 with her debut single “Circling,” introducing a sound rooted in emotional vulnerability, massive choruses, and heavyweight instrumentation.
