Debut album announced!

A really challenging track that feels like two different parts coming together. The emotions and instrumentation are all over the place, but they nailed it. And I thought Patryk’s vocals have never sounded so powerful, either! Definitely a big yes from me. Looking forward to seeing them on another tour (I hope we’ll be able to join them, Paz )

Hell yeah, fingers crossed! ✊

The album’s opener sounds good.

Already streamed this 4 times today.
First full stream, I was not that blown away, but now I keep coming back.
Guess I end up ordering the vinyl (-;

Damn! I really enjoyed it. I love how it oscillates between sludge metal and progressive metal. On one hand, it hurts, and on the other, it heals.
But this balance doesn't come alone; it comes with plenty of hooks that tie you in. It sounds like Soen or Hail Spirit Noir (on Eden In Reverse) decided to take the plunge into heaviness without losing their essence.
I thought this progressive sound was in decline, but Blindead 23 came along and revived it.

Soen and Hail Spirit Noir huh, sounds right my alley. I’ve known of Blindead for awhile but never actually listened so this seems like a good time to check them out.

This album has really taken me by surprise. There's a huge amount to uncover and digest here but it's a remarkable musical journey crafted with many elements and genres, from crushingly aggressive sludge, to emotion-filled ambient, post-metal, and complex progressive sections, and brought together by an incredible production. It's certainly well made, memorable, and unique. I know it's a long shot, but the best way I'd describe it is like a combination of Opeth, Soen, and Mastodon.

Loving it, perfect mix of Cult Of Luna and Katatonia (as illustrated by "Worst Laid Plans").
Took me a while to get into, but overall it's surprisingly catchy and memorable with great vocal hooks.
