MADiSON ViOLETT releases nostalgic, chaos-fueled video for 'Bleed For Me' • GRIMM Gent

Emerging alternative heavy artist MADiSON ViOLETT has released the official music video for her explosive new single “BLEED FOR ME,” featuring Kellin Quinn of Sleeping With Sirens. Shared last week, the video brings the song’s emotional intensity and nostalgic energy to life through a cinematic tribute to classic 2000s emo culture and over-the-top high school movie tropes.

Directed alongside longtime collaborator Christopher Shaibi, the video embraces the dramatic, chaotic spirit of the era that helped shape MADiSON ViOLETT’s artistic identity — complete with slow-motion hallway scenes, classroom tension, locker room drama, and reckless house party energy.

“The Bleed For Me music video was an absolute blast to create,” says MADiSON ViOLETT. “I worked alongside incredible actors and an awesome production team, including Christopher Shaibi, with whom I’ve collaborated on several projects. The vision for this video was to parody those cliché 2000s high school films and really encapsulate the nostalgia and campiness that come with the imagery.

“I also felt very inspired by My Chemical Romance’s ‘I’m Not Okay’ music video, which is probably one of my favorite pieces of musical media from the 2000s era. So, with all the dramatic slow-motion shots, classrooms, locker rooms, house parties, and all, it came together into something super sick that I hope everyone else enjoys as much as I did making it.”

Fueled by crushing breakdowns, towering hooks, and emotionally charged performances, “BLEED FOR ME” captures the raw urgency of 2000s post-hardcore while embracing the cinematic heaviness and sharp production of contemporary metalcore. The collaboration between MADiSON ViOLETT and Quinn delivers a powerful balance of melody, aggression, and catharsis — blending nostalgic influences with a fresh, modern edge.

At just 19 years old, MADiSON ViOLETT has already begun establishing herself as one of the most exciting emerging voices in modern heavy music. Based in Los Angeles, she first broke onto the scene in 2025 with her debut single “Circling,” immediately turning heads with a sound that fused emotional vulnerability, massive choruses, and heavyweight instrumentation.

Refusing to be confined by genre boundaries, MADiSON ViOLETT draws from post-hardcore, metalcore, alternative rock, and modern heavy music to craft songs that feel equally intimate and explosive. Her music balances cathartic emotion with relentless sonic force, pairing heartfelt lyricism with arena-sized intensity.

“BLEED FOR ME” featuring Kellin Quinn is now streaming on all major platforms, with the official music video available now.
