Blind To are a 5 piece socially charged alternative metal based in Berkshire, England who have been writing and performing their own music since 2001.
Their musical influences are a broad bag which gives their music great depth. Heavy riffs layered with flowing melodies, tight breaks and racing drums are complete with intelligent structure and harmonies. Dynamic build-ups, technical bridges, seductive singing and roaring vocals lay the cherry on top of what is a very tasty cake. Lyrical content is split between emotional pressures (Legna, Tease), political grievances (At War, Milosebitch) and societys madness in general (Sorry, Hush).
"We are an unsigned band who do all our own bookings and promotion. The album was funded and recorded by us and all the design for the CD was done by us. It is a labour of love......Anyone who can help with any of the above would be gladly welcomed aboard."Their debut album, Promising Dreams Selling Nightmares, has received great reviews in:
