About Me


A FEROCIOUS ATTACK STRAIGHT INTO YOUR FACE
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
SELFBLIND is a five-headed monster that is ready to tear its' way through the eardrums of incautious listeners. Gathering influences from the american metal scene to scandinavian death and thrash and armed with modern artillery, the band provides accurate strikes into the core of every metal fan.
The group began forming its sound and shape in 2006, when guitarists Simo Vesterinen, Joose Zanasi and drummer Antti Hämeranta, all of whom had been playing together for years, began to gather the missing pieces for their new arsenal.
The first draft, vocalist Jere Jauho, was quick and seemingly a no-brainer, as personalities clicked after the first meetings and the guys liked his voice and style. This was in September 2006, and Jere found himself penning lyrics for the band almost right away, as they were in the final recording stages of their first release, 'Promo 07'.
The bass player-spot proved out to be a tougher match to make, so the boys enlisted the help of their fellow comrade, Neissu from DEAD SHAPE FIGURE for the incoming bass recordings, as the search for the right four-stringer continued. Eventually, as the record was completed and released in January 2007, Neissu extended his duties and stepped onstage with the guys for the first concert in line.
But, as luck would have it, the band did not have to wait much longer after that, as in February 2007 they were contacted by Jukka Vehkamaa, who rose onstage for the first time already the following month. After a few weeks Jukka was asked to join the band permanently, and thus the line-up was completed. Or so it seemed.
After starting the process to write new music, the band noticed that the direction that they were headed needed a different kind of guitarist to support Simo's rampage-like riffing. So in came Asim, replacing Joose in the Selfblind team and delivering a devastating amount of new energy and shredding action into the band. This year, the band is set to wreak havoc like never before. Get ready.
