DualistBand

Dualist: Good & evil. Mind & body. The very name of the band is loaded with antagonism and paradox. Dualist are a rock band based in London. Their songs are a gloriously tense balance of edgy guitar riffs and lovely synths, of plaintive emotion and ebullient excitement, of anger and joy, of power and helplessness. Comparisons to Joy Division come to mind, but calling Dualist post-post-punk is as pointless as it is inelegant.

Blind To Faith

Established late 2008, Blind To Faith is a vehicle for pure, unadulterated . Stripped down to the very core and essence, Blind To Faith wears its influences on its sleeve: Discharge, Repulsion, Celtic Frost, Eyehategod, Gehenna, Darkthrone, Entombed, and Today Is The Day, to name a few. Written and recorded in less than 3 days, the 12" THE SEVEN FAT YEARS ARE OVER showcases the primitive one-track mind of it's creators. Having rid themselves from any sort of preset agenda like playing live or making friends, Blind To Faith offers its art as real as it gets: lawless, violent and pure.
