The monster behind the kit - Dallas native Warren Stewart - delivers a perfect combination of finesse and power. From his driving double bass beats of Darkest Hour to the intricacies of Walk to Emmaus Stewart’s versatility is a key factor in Bleed Down’s sound and direction. His high energy and intense contribution is the foundation to the ideal match of vocals and guitars.
