Blind Equation announce new album ‘A FUNERAL IN PURGATORY’
BLIND EQUATION have announced a new album!
Titled A FUNERAL IN PURGATORY, the upcoming album from the Chicago-based cybergrind band is the follow-up to 2023’s DEATH AWAITS, and is scheduled to be released in July this year, via Prosthetic Records.
Speaking about the upcoming album, James McHenry from the band shares, “the heaviest & most brutal BLIND EQUATION album to date, while simultaneously being the most soft and heartfelt. The overarching meaning of the album is that even though we deal with these difficult times in our life, we have to carry on & get through them to reach the better moments. No matter what, life will destroy us time and time again and many things may never be resolved or have an answer in sight, but we must carry on & do our best to fight against it.”
Alongside the announcement of the new album, BLIND EQUAITION have released a new music video for a new song lifted from the upcoming album; Nothing.
Speaking about the new song, McHenry says, “every song on this release brings something different to the table, as it’s meant to be listened to in full. However when choosing a single to show some insight on what to expect from the album, I feel this song perfectly captures it while not giving away too much of what’s to come. It is heavily nu-metal inspired & overall pays homage to the early works of artists like THE PRODIGY, FEAR FACTORY, Korn, Slipknot & etc while still sounding like a Blind Equation track. This is the most aggressive & the most violently passionate the project has ever been, yet it is the most atmospheric and still shimmers melodically when it needs to. And I feel that is mostly what you can expect from the upcoming album; the heavy moments are heavier and the soft moments are even more vulnerable as well. With the project being 90% digital, I wanted the instrumentals to still be as emotional as the lyrics & vocals and I feel they compliment each other the best they ever have for this record.”
