Soul Blind channel ’90s alt/metal influences through a hardcore lens on their most introspective release yet: »Red Sky Mourning«!
Formed in 2018, Soul Blind has been a collaborative effort musically speaking, and their new album »Red Sky Mourning« album proves no different. The collective result is a magnifying glass into the lives of four discrete individuals coming to terms with their own humanity, growing and progressing as individuals.
When the alt-hard rock favorites took the world and live stages, by storm in the wake of their critically loved and popular 2022 debut »Feel It All Around«, fans cherished the band’s take on 90s alternative in droves. Now with a new sound and a new lease on life, Soul Blind might be utterly unrecognizable from their previous selves. That is until that unmistakable curtain of guitars starts to engulf like molten hot magma, coupled with subterranean melodies that apply a white-knuckle grip around the throat and don’t let go. In the best way, naturally.

“The band have never been shy about wearing their ’90s influences on their sleeves…” – BrooklynVegan
“…thrusts through Hum-hazy atmospherics and an almost ‘Scratch the Surface’-styled New York groove. Between all that, their ‘Evil’ has bounced right out of the shadows and into steady rotation.” – Revolver Magazine
“…they’ve clearly returned at the top of their game.” – The Alternative

To harness the power of their live show, Soul Blind congregated at Animal Farm in Flemington, NJ to record for a month, a space that incubated records by Drug Church, Drain, KOYO and countless others. There the band explored their love for Alice In Chains, Soundgarden, Melvins, mid to late-era Killing Joke, The Cure and all manner of early 90s alternative rock, boiling them down to an essence and passing them through Soul Blind’s hardcore and DIY-inflected sieve. The contained nature of the sessions yielded results that are a pensive, emotional journey through pain, isolation and darkness until eventual redemption and hope could be found with the rising sun.
