Finnish modern metal outfit BLIND CHANNEL serves up the next musical glimpse of their upcoming studio album, ‘Painstream,’ with their mesmerizing new single “Stars We See,” which transforms an existential crisis into a powerful message of hope, reminding humanity that life’s fleeting nature is what makes it meaningful.
“Stars We See” arrives with a captivating music video made by Riivata Visuals.
The band comments:
“We’re incredibly relieved and grateful to have our band back, and absolutely blown away by the response to the first new releases. ‘Stars We See’ is a sneak peek at the new soundscapes and themes we discovered during our break, and it represents the more hopeful side of the upcoming album. This track will undoubtedly make its way into the setlist of the ‘Painstream Tour,’ kicking off in November. We strongly recommend experiencing this new chapter live. Get your tickets, and we’ll see you out there!”
‘Painstream’ is BLIND CHANNEL’s sixth studio album, which will be out via Century Media on October 30th. The 12 new powerful tracks lead through the pain of growth, sharp self-reflection, and explosive energy.
On ‘Painstream,’ the band comments:
“In a world filled with uncertainty, conflict, and division, pain is one thing all humans share. Rather than separating us, ‘Painstream’ explores the idea that pain can unite us, reminding us of our common humanity. We examine pain from personal, societal, and existential perspectives, while also uncovering something unexpected: hope.”
