Release Date: Sometime '08

Blindside made our list last year as we looked forward to the band's latest artistic venture - and as I looked forward to some kind of redemption for The Great Depression. The Black Rose EP came over the Summer and while it seemed like a mix of the dissonance of Depression and the brilliance of their earlier work, it showed a glimmer of hope for the future. Now all we have to do is wait for the band to finish their next full-length and decide the best way to release it sometime this year...

I don't care what anyone says about The Great Depression, there is no such thing as a bad Blindside album. These guys put out some of the best music of all time and I can't wait to hear what the boys from Sweden bring next. If this album comes anywhere close to being as good as Silence or About A Burning Fire, it will have instant classic written all over it.

Last year's Black Rose EP was an excellent prelude to the long awaited new full-length record from Blindside and I'm hoping that this sixth project from the energetic Swedish rockers will be an especially memorable one.
