���� Along with that great discography CD that we just picked up from Blind To Faith, we also found some copies of the original out-of-print 2009 mini-album from these Belgian blackened hardcore heathens, which comes with a circular embroidered patch. Released on the Holy Terror imprint run by Dwid from Integrity/Psywarfare, this comes in provocative, grim artwork depicting various 20th Century atrocities overlaid with occult symbology, printed in clear spot varnish; it's a striking piece of wax, though vinyl perfectionists should take note: all of the copies that we received from the distributor were received with some very minor corner dings; if you're particular about having your record sleeves in perfect, unblemished condition, please be aware of this before ordering.

���� Made up of members of blackened sludge metallers Amenra, black ambient ensemble Sembler Deah and Dutch gore metallers Bile, Blind To Faith are one of the few true successors to the "Holy Terror" hardcore aesthetic that was first created by bands like Integrity and Ringworm. Their misanthropic metallic hardcore shared many of the same interests and obsessions, their lyrics and sleeve art rife with satanic visions of scorched churches, collapsing societies, ash-blotted skies, and rampant murder, a lends through which all the world is alight in apocalyptic fire. But despite having been around for nearly a decade, The Seven Fat Years Are Over is generally considered to be their sole album, even though it clocks in at just about fifteen minutes. That brief playing time is boiling over with some utterly ferocious occult-tinged hardcore, though, hammering out short, ultra-violent blasts of blackened aggression that combines infectious-as-hell riffs and burly, anthemic choruses that seem ripped out of classic late-80's American hardcore, with weird, almost black metal-influenced dirges, and a heavy dose of crushing, almost Frostian thrash metal. Like their other releases, this stuff evokes the best of the 90's Holy Terror scene, metallic hardcore stripped down to its most lawless, murderous impulses, though Blind To Faith crawl even deeper than most into the putrid underbelly of the modern Western psyche.
