BlindNine

Biography

BlindNine was formed at the end of 2002 in Turku, which is a city in westcoast of Finland. In the very beginning BlindNine sucked influences from the nu-metal bands of that time ( Korn, linkin park, disturbed, staind...) and some of their songs had even rap vocals.

First demo was recorded in 2003, but the first time "in real studio" was in 2004 when BlindNine recorded their "Control" named demo which held inside 2 rock/metal mixed songs, Control and a bit faster and more agressive Hide 'n Seek. 2004 and 2005 were ruined by the great army of Finland (ignore the barely noticible smell of irony on the description...) that kept the guitarrists Iiro Kelloniemi and former bassist, these days guitarrist Mitja Välimäki from creating new BlindNine material. In fall of 2004, at the time of an army visit of Iiro Kelloniemi, BlindNine turned into its present form of quintet as Lauri Tuominen stepped in to play bass.

In February of 2008 BlindNine went into a studio to record their debut EP. After couple of months of recording, mixing and heavy drinking they could proudly hold in their hands the result of their work, a debut EP which holds inside six aggressive, yet melodic metal tracks and carries the name "A lie behind the silence".
