Blindead’s third album Affliction XXIX II MXMVI is one of the most underrated classics of the 2010s. The Polish band’s sound was bigger than its fanbase, tragically, but that didn’t stop them from releasing an ambitious concept album whose stars aligned in both sound and lyrical themes. Rooted in the enigmatic and mammoth style of post-metal, the grey world it painted with broad sludge brushstrokes portrayed the experiences and perceptions of a child with ASD: “The shape of a city stood in the grayness, like a charcoal drawing sketched across the waste” (“Dark and Gray”). Alongside titles like Amia Venera Landscape’s The Long Procession and Dirge’s Elysian Magnetic Fields, Blindead was included on a long list of post-metal deep cuts that lay below the decade’s surface.

In spite of the laziest band name, Blindead 23 is the reincarnation of the act, this time armed with a star-studded lineup. The core of long-time guitarist Mateusz Śmierzchalski (aka Havoc, former Behemoth guitarist from 2000-03) and vocalist Patryk Zwoliński, Blindead 23 is rounded out by drummer Pawel “Pavulon” Jaroszewicz (known for his time in Vltimas, Vader, and Decapitated) and guitarist Roger Öjersson (known for his time in Katatonia). After the relative fizzle of Blindead’s final post-metal/alt rock albums Absence and Ascension, and the outta left field punk swansong Niewiosna, Blindead 23 returns to its roots with a tried-and-true blend of post-metal hugeness and hardcore intensity, sounding right at home with the likes of Rosetta, Neurosis, and Mouth of the Architect. First LP Deuterium is a love song to post-metal, a welcome return that won’t turn too many heads – but it’s the riffiest and the dirgiest post-metal that is both overlong and extremely promising.

Blessedly, the Blindead 23’s riffs are truly a force of nature, amplified by Öjersson’s soulful trademark melodies. The opening “Immersion” suite offers you a front-and-center attack that showcases the intensity and range – chuggy riffs and ominous melodies collide in formidable intensity. The more intense portions take on a nearly mechanical, death metal-bordering heaviness thanks to choppy staccato chugs and cold atmospheric tricks (“Immersion II,” title track), while solos and cleans inject the necessary humanity to keep them from wallowing in industrial aloofness (“Immersion I” and “II,” “Wither,” title track). Other tracks happen upon a more hardcore-inspired approach, chaotic movements, and shifty rhythms recalling the likes of Black Sheep Wall and Knut (“Worst Laid Plans”), Jaroszewicz’s drums laying a foundation of shifting sands.

The fifty-four-minute runtime is both a blessing and a curse for Blindead 23: while it allows them the breath to explore all their facets, it drags on the slower moments to a snail’s crawl. While the more hypnotic and dirgelike pieces can be bolstered by an eerie atmosphere (“Immersion II”), they have the potential to drag on for way too long and rob the band of the intensity they have effectively established (“Wither”), and even good tracks can feel a few minutes too long (“Worst Laid Plans”). While range is the name of the game, a few tricks feel too out-of-left-field, such as the bluesy and twangy plucking or jazzy melodies (“Toward the Dark”) or a surprising optimism that clashes with the overall darkness of the debut (“You Are the Universe”). However, this is not Blindead – it’s Blindead 23 – and it’s better that a band explore all avenues instead of just playing it safe.

Deuterium is the sound of a band hungry for the return, but not to the way things were. Already, a revolving door of contributors make Deuterium a distinct sound compared to 2024 debut EP Vanishing, and it shows in a solid output that sounds like the veterans they are. While the inconsistency is jarring and the sprawl leads to the excessive runtime, individual star power with an immensity greater than the sum of its parts graces the Polish juggernaut in an exploration of all avenues. An embarrassment of riches awaits them. Deuterium may not be their magnum opus, but it’s the prelude for Blindead 23.

Vltimas – EPIC Review

By Kenstrosity

International supergroup Vltimas crashed upon the Earth early in 2015, dropping their well-received debut roughly four years later. Comprised of Morbid Angel‘s very own David Vincent at the mic, Cryptopsy‘s Flo Mounier manning the kit, and Aura Noir‘s Rune “Blasphemer” Eriksen slinging axe, the project deals in grooving, swaggering blackened death metal singing Satan’s praises and glorifying the destruction of all the world. You know, the usual. And while their debut impressed me—bridging the gaps between legacies and heritages held by its constituent members without coming across as a total ripoff of any—follow-up EPIC doesn’t.

Where Something Wicked Marches In took full advantage of the talent on tap, and maximized the impact of several building blocks of Morbid Angel’s, Cryptopsy’s, and even Mayhem’s classic sounds and styles, EPIC finds itself at the mercy of clashing egos and unfitting songwriting choices. Gone are Vincent’s rabid barks and delightful rolled r’s, reduced are Flo’s blistering blasts and addicting double bass runs, and neutered are Rune’s usually venomous riffs and tremolo shimmers. Additional bassist Ype TVS (ex-Dodecahedron) and guitarist João Duarte (Corpus Christii) don’t stand out through their performances when surrounded by the band’s main cast, either. Worse than that, the evolution between Something Wicked Marches In and EPIC recalls, to a less extreme degree, the unprecedented deviations in style the public maligned when Morbid Angel progressed from Heretic to Illud Divinum Insanus. Granted, nothing here is as ill-conceived as the worst of Illud. Nevertheless, when I’m suddenly detecting similarities to Metallica‘s “Enter Sandman” and the half-growl, half-singing style of groove metal writ large, something’s up.

Discarding the unnecessary intro track, EPIC’s self-titled opener proper exposes right away some of the album’s weaknesses. Vincent’s vocals seems weakened and fried here, and the rough-hewn cleans possess a forced vibrato that is initially amusing, but grates as time wears on. Riffs in general sound recycled from both Morbid Angel’s catalog and even Vltimas’ previous work (notably, bits and pieces of “Something Wicked Marches In,” “Monolith,” and “Last Ones Alive Win Nothing”). More filler arises in tracks like “Miserere,” “Scorcher,” and “Nature’s Fangs” which fall more closely in line with the faster-paced, riff-focused blackened death of the debut, but lack distinct songwriting characteristics or memorable passages across the board. However, the worst offender is “Mephisto Manifesto.” Uncanny in its ability to lodge itself in my brain despite my best resistance, this track makes me cringe with it’s melodramatic, goofy delivery in the chorus. The lyrics are pretty standard Satan worship-core, but somehow when Vincent bellows “MANIFESTOOOOOWHOAAAH” a dozen times in five minutes, I can’t help but feel a twinge of secondhand embarrassment.

Concerning as those criticisms may be, at least a third of the material here rips just as hard as expected from the group’s collective pedigree. “Exercitus Irae” blisters and bulldozes everything in its path with a riffset and killer kit performance that lights a fire under my ass. It’s especially impactful to feel this rush of adrenaline after such a lackluster trio of songs before it. Late album highlight “Invictus” similarly matches the energy established by “Exercitus Irae,” while taking on tones and textures differentiated just enough by infectious grooves to give it a unique voice among this set. Additionally, there are nice little details that pop up here and there which momentarily make me question the harshness of my assessment. For example, even during some of the album’s worst moments, like the aforementioned chorus of “Mephisto Manifesto,” Rune and João manage to shoehorn a clever embellishment into what would otherwise be a dreadfully boring main riff that helps elevate it and give it some memorability. At under forty minutes, EPIC is also quite tight and lean, which helps to minimize the impact of its myriad songwriting issues.

When the dust settles, it’s hard to stifle my disappointment with EPIC. Without a shadow of a doubt, it should have been much better than this. Lackluster songwriting, ill-conceived choices in vocal delivery, and recycled material unchecked conspire to dismantle Vltimas’ seamless marriage of skillsets and influences exhibited on their debut. Consequently, I no longer understand the purpose of this project, or what the ultimate goal looks like. Of only one thing I’m certain: they should steer clear of another EPIC.

Vltimas – EPIC Review

By Kenstrosity

International supergroup Vltimas crashed upon the Earth early in 2015, dropping their well-received debut roughly four years later. Comprised of Morbid Angel‘s very own David Vincent at the mic, Cryptopsy‘s Flo Mounier manning the kit, and Aura Noir‘s Rune “Blasphemer” Eriksen slinging axe, the project deals in grooving, swaggering blackened death metal singing Satan’s praises and glorifying the destruction of all the world. You know, the usual. And while their debut impressed me—bridging the gaps between legacies and heritages held by its constituent members without coming across as a total ripoff of any—follow-up EPIC doesn’t.

Where Something Wicked Marches In took full advantage of the talent on tap, and maximized the impact of several building blocks of Morbid Angel’s, Cryptopsy’s, and even Mayhem’s classic sounds and styles, EPIC finds itself at the mercy of clashing egos and unfitting songwriting choices. Gone are Vincent’s rabid barks and delightful rolled r’s, reduced are Flo’s blistering blasts and addicting double bass runs, and neutered are Rune’s usually venomous riffs and tremolo shimmers. Additional bassist Ype TVS (ex-Dodecahedron) and guitarist João Duarte (Corpus Christii) don’t stand out through their performances when surrounded by the band’s main cast, either. Worse than that, the evolution between Something Wicked Marches In and EPIC recalls, to a less extreme degree, the unprecedented deviations in style the public maligned when Morbid Angel progressed from Heretic to Illud Divinum Insanus. Granted, nothing here is as ill-conceived as the worst of Illud. Nevertheless, when I’m suddenly detecting similarities to Metallica‘s “Enter Sandman” and the half-growl, half-singing style of groove metal writ large, something’s up.

Discarding the unnecessary intro track, EPIC’s self-titled opener proper exposes right away some of the album’s weaknesses. Vincent’s vocals seems weakened and fried here, and the rough-hewn cleans possess a forced vibrato that is initially amusing, but grates as time wears on. Riffs in general sound recycled from both Morbid Angel’s catalog and even Vltimas’ previous work (notably, bits and pieces of “Something Wicked Marches In,” “Monolith,” and “Last Ones Alive Win Nothing”). More filler arises in tracks like “Miserere,” “Scorcher,” and “Nature’s Fangs” which fall more closely in line with the faster-paced, riff-focused blackened death of the debut, but lack distinct songwriting characteristics or memorable passages across the board. However, the worst offender is “Mephisto Manifesto.” Uncanny in its ability to lodge itself in my brain despite my best resistance, this track makes me cringe with it’s melodramatic, goofy delivery in the chorus.
