Alt-hard rock favorites Soul Blind are back with their heavy new single “Mistake to Wonder.” They comment: “We had part of this song written for years. We kept circling back to it for ages but rarely had any luck with finishing it, until we started writing for RSM.” The single comes off their latest album, Red Sky Mourning, released October 10th.
When the alt-hard rockers 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.
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.
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.
