Formed in early 1996 in the metal starved waste land known as North
Cumbria in England. Blind Spite began gigging locally but endured
many periods of inactivity through trying to keep a stable line-up.
This was finally realised in Jan '97, when the line up of Max, Ian, Andy,
Steve and Anthony began rehearsing and gigging for the first demo
'What is past is prologue' '97. After the release of this the band gigged
where ever offered until Andy (guitar) had to relocate leaving the band
as a four piece, a situation that went on through to the recording
of their second demo 'Grievolution' in 2000. They carried on as a
four piece until late 2000 when they met guitarist Matthew Langley through
some mutual friends, after a few rehearsals Matthew joined the
band permanently which completed the line-up for their third offering
titled 'Sermon Of Despisal' June 2004. The songs on Sermon really
began to define a style which was more towards the main of the bands
influence rather than the individuals and has been described as technical,
brutal, death metal. In the early part of 2005 and after a string
of well received gigs around the UK Max (vocals) decided to part company
with the band after nine years. A while after this we thought of scouring
the country and advertising for a new vocalist but before we did this
we had one guy to try out in our home town, a friend of the band
called Lee Kelly who we had played alongside a few years earlier. After
several months of rehearsing and a few gigs its wasn't quite working
out so in the space of a year we are on to our third singer Paul McFarlane
who has now learned most of the songs and we should be back
in the studio early 2007.

UPDATE: Blind Spite split up in late 2006, but we're back with a juggled
line up and are ACTUALLY ready to force out that EP, which we are in
the process of recording at the moment. We'll put some of the original
demo recording up soon (poor quality, live, unmastered, without vocals)
