Damn… I did not see this one coming… I must admit
that I hesitated a bit when asked if I wanted to review this album…
but I’m glad that I did… because this one is a real hammer.
Blinded Colony
was
formed in 2000 and they released their debut album, “Divine” in 2003
and sadly I’m not familiar with that one so I can’t compare it to
this brand new release titled “Bedtime Prayers”.
To me Blinded Colony is very close to bands
like
Soilwork, In Flames, The Haunted, Mnemic, Raunchy
and
even Fear Factory. So now you get an idea of their style… but
are the songs any good? Yes… God damned! – We get 9
songs and every single one of them stands out of their own, so it’s
kind of difficult to name my favourite tracks…and it’s impossible to
name one track as representative for the whole album. Of course
their music is aggressive but at the same time melodic with huge,
driving and catchy choruses.
The overall picture is furthermore enhanced with a
splendid production and if you’re into the above mentioned bands you
should do yourself a huge favour and check this album out as soon as
it hit the stores.
No more words needed.
