End the Silence May 29/06


REAL GROOVY COMMENTS Blindspott is a band that will do more than make a dent on NZ music this month – it’ll kick the ass out of the rock scene with their new raw metal album END THE SILENCE.Their debut self-titled album (2002) achieved one of the highest ship-out & pre-order figures ever seen from a local band, beating legends Nirvana and Foo Fighters to the coveted #1 position in the New Zealand charts.At the end of 2005 the band started recording their new album with Swedish producers Pelle Henrickson and Eskil Lovestrom, who have worked with bands such as Poison the Well, Refused and Cult of Luna.Heavy in a way Blindspott only hinted at, this is unashamedly metal, with no need of a prefix. “This album is just a metal album,” says drummer Shelton Woolright. “It doesn’t really fit into a genre, like the whole Emo sound that’s around now. This will be an album you’ll be able to put on years later and it’ll still be refreshing and solid.” Artist:
