Blindfisted - Blindfisted (LP)

Blindfisted’s 2023 selftitled album can be described simply as early-career Celtic Frost and Venom mixed with latter-day Darkthrone, with hints of classic Motörhead groove. They utilize a similar heaviness, proving that these fellows don’t need to compensate by cranking up the distortion. That old-fashioned feel of aggression toward corporate goons and societal trends shines through just fine on Blindfisted and it’s kept fresh song-to-song by incorporating guest vocalists on seven of its ten tracks. Mostly staying local, Blindfisted recruited everyone from Aura Noir’s Aggressor to the vocalists of the short-lived Norwegian punk outfit, Hærverk, and the all-girl garage rock band, The Launderettes.
