Blinder was formed by the end of 1998 from the ashes of the renowned Santa Clara-based Death metallers Medium. They are nowadays one of the most prominent Cuban metal acts, counting with a loyal fanbase that spreads all over their own country and beyond. The quality of their output, their great live performances, their constant touring and their participation in prestigious local festivals (such as Ciudad Metal and Brutalfest), have elevated Blinder to iconic status nationwide. Their style combines deep growls and intense guitar riffs with melodies that give a touch of class to the aggressiveness of their music.
Blinder's new album "Hegemonic Cult" marks a milestone in the history of the Cuban metal scene. It was mastered by legendary King Diamond axe-man Andy LaRocque and contains eight tracks of pure metal mayhem, including a sick cover of a Slayer song as a bonus. The title track features in addition a guest appearance by master shredder Steve Smyth (Testament, Nevermore, Forbidden, One Machine).
Line Up:
Eric Domenech (Vocals)
Aldo Diaz (Guitars)

L'horizon est paradoxal, à la fois porte d'entrée vers l'infini mais aussi un mur qui bloque notre regard. Ekove Efrits le transcende dans son troisième album Conceptual Horizon, il le met à la merci de son imagination. Hypermnesia a été un tournant pour le one-man band iranien qui fait de cette nouvelle création un théâtre du monde au nombre d'acteurs et de décors quasiment illimité. C'est un des albums de black metal dépressif les plus éclectiques que je connaisse : un grand coup de maître ! Jordan Vauvert

I love this particular niche of modern black metal. Crisp, biting production and clear, cutting riffs. Imperialist are among the best there is right now. Brett (Lascaille's Shroud / Soulmass)

J'imaginais Solitude and Suicide comme l'album de la dissidence — avec un black metal ni totalement dépressif, ni symphonique, ni païen : il était un peu à part — mais il jouait en réalité le rôle d'album de transition. Dans Pandemic Transgression, Funeral Fornication met encore plus l'accent sur les synthés et entre de plain-pied dans le black metal symphonique. Le vitriol saturé existe encore part endroits mais ce sont les atmosphères et les mélodies qui emportent la bataille. Plus accessible. Jordan Vauvert
