Blind Channel is back with first new singles of upcoming album!

Finnish chart-topping modern metal outfit BLIND CHANNEL are back.
After 1.5 years of deliberate silence, the 5-piece outfit returns with a grown attitude and hunger for a new musical chapter. Inspired, motivated, and eager to take fans and new listeners on a both intensely personal and universally relevant journey, BLIND CHANNEL proudly present their most mature, honest and ambitious album to date: Painstream.

Painstream is BLIND CHANNEL’s 6^th studio album, which will be out via Century Media Records on October 30^th. The 12 new powerful tracks lead through the pain of growth, sharp self-reflection and explosive energy.

The band comments:

“In a world filled with uncertainty, conflict and division, pain is one thing all humans share. Rather than separating us, Painstream explores the idea that pain can unite us, reminding us of our common humanity. We examine pain from personal, societal and existential perspectives, while also uncovering something unexpected: hope.”
