When Blind Witness emerged into the metal scene of Montreal, QC. , their agenda was crystal clear. "We wanted to play the heaviest and most authentic music we could! We want to wreck everyone's faces off!" Explains Guitar, PL Desroches. Having been through some line-up changes, Blind Witness is sounding more confident and aggressive than ever. They continue to assault their fans with a furiously intense metal core sound, ambitiously emulating musical inspirations As I Lay Dying, August Burns Red, and I Killed the Prom Queen.
To put it simply, Blind Witness is a touring machine - headlining their own indie tours, and stopping at nothing to play a show. "One night, we were supposed to drive all night to our next show, but our trailer's axle broke on the highway!" Explains PL, the band's guitarist. "So we slept in the van, and rented a platform trailer in the morning. With the trailer upside down on the platform, we drove through a snow storm and played the show!" In addition to a tour with Blessed by a broken heart in October 2007 and a full US tour at the beginning of 2008, Blind Witness has also shared the local stage with major acts August Burns Red, Drop Dead, Gorgeous, Emmure and Ligeia, to name a few.
It was early 2005 when vocalist Jonathan Cabana, guitarist Pier-Luc Desroches and drummer Kevin Desroches left their own bands, and united with a passion to create music they would be proud to play night after night. "We were three guys who wanted to make music our lifestyle and payback," explains PL. Adding guitarist/vocalist Maxime Lacroix and bassist Miguel Lepage to the roster, Blind Witness was complete and finally ready to dominate the stage, giving intense live performances night after night, Blind Witness will leave you wanted more.
"We do this because we're into playing heartfelt music, touring the world, and not working for a boss!" With this much attitude and dedication, it seems there is finally a band who remembers what the industry has always been about. If making huge and insanely loud metal music is a crime, then all the evidence points to Blind Witness. Case closed.
