It is hard to not get certain expectations on a band when you see a photo of them all dressed up in suits. I know that I am old and old school when it comes to how bands really should look that I sometimes forget that we all live in a new age now where conformity is not a bad word. But listening to this album by BLINDING SPARKS makes me think that the whole look in the photo was meant as “up yours” to just conformity. Because musically this is heavy and melodic but non-conformist. This is actually pretty on the edge. Modern in sound but not bland and lifeless. I find this highly entertaining and in doing so I think I’ve found a new fave band this week. Anders Ekdahl
