BLIND
STARE
Blind Stare was formed in 1999 by the guitarists Anders Öström, Heikki
Raisio and drummer Henry Valkonen. Soon after that bass player Tuomas
joined the group.
At spring 2001 Eino joined the band as vocalist. At the time Blind Stare
was playing melodic metal with melodeath influences.
At the dusk 2001 Sakari joined us as a keyboard player and the music was
changing to more epic melodeath. After 3 months of that, without any rehearsal
Eino, Anders and Sakari decided that it would be better if Henry, Heikki
and Tuomas were no longer part of the band. Jaakko joined the group right
away as a guitar player and rehearsals took part again and Anders started
to wrote much better songs than before. Soon after that Blind Stare recruited
Timo as drummer and Kalle as bass player.
October 2002 the band recorded "Ender" demo-CD. After that it has been
songwriting and rehearsal mostly, few gigs coming up soon and studio is
also booked at August 2003.
August 2003. "Once a True Story" demo was recorded and published. With
"OaTS" the band starts to get some underground reputation and good reviews
also more gig offers.
New songs coming up, even better again. Between May and August 2004 the
band recorded a new demo entitled "The Reborn Genius" (demo of the month
in the wellknown finnish metal website Imperiumi.net.).
In October 2004 Blind Stare signs a deal with Arise Records. The band
recorded their debut album "Symphony Of Delusions" at Noisecamp Studios.It
took two and a half months all together, and definetly was worth it. The
CD will come with great illustrations by Jan Yrlund from Danse Macabre/Ancient
Rites.
Blind Stare is one of the most impressive newcomer bands from the finnish
scene in the last years!
