METAL TO INFINITY

Blind Seven is a five piece American band formed by Richie Z (vocals) and guitar player TK Mount in January 2001. Actually started as side project but unfortunately broke up later on. Both mentioned guys doesn't wanna gave up playing their favourite style of music and found a new drummer by the name of Chris Zitar. Californian based label Jetspeed Record offered the band a deal in June 2001, even all the songs were recorded but without results actually. The album never saw the light of day due some internal problems regarding the contract but anyway...Blind Seven kept going on and Richie, TK, Chris's faith was strong enough so they were sure that one day a debut album would be released.

Finally in April of 2004, they were proud presented a full length album, totally done by themselves. To complete the line up, a second guitar player Mitch Vance and a bassist named Aubrey Ridgeway recently joined the ranks of Blind Seven.They've already shared the stages so far with bands like: Sacred Reich, Joey Beladonna, Flotsam and Jetsam, Motörhead,...so there they go. Now what the expect from these guys is a perfect mix of Hard Rock and Metal music with vibes and atmospheric parts coming straight out of the world of Progressive Metal. Yeah, Blind Seven sounds pretty technical and great skilled which means these guys have qualities enough to talk about a marvellous band with potential.

In my eyes, Blind Seven's style of music is quite original and unique in its genre. They're spreading a lot of emotion especially due to the vocalist's way of singing. His voice sounds nice and gentle at one side and real powerful at the other side. While listening to the entire album, Megadeth's Dave Mustaine lingers on somtimes. "Incisions" is an album, full of surprises and with variable elements all over the line. Melodic, heavy guitars with stamping drums, loaded bass lines and a unique singer who has a wide range in his might!

I'm into Blind Seven's style of music, a few moments i don't like at all but an album with a hundred procent satisfaction feel is not that easy to find these days so i will not start criticizing Blind Seven for a few disappointed moments. Hard Rock / Metal maniacs and Progressive Rock fans...check it out ! More info at: www.blindseven.com   MY POINTS: 86 / 100
