Blindspott是支来自于新西兰奥克兰的5人乐队，4年前发行首张同名专辑便一举在新西兰当地达到三白金的销量，击败了当时新西兰国内榜上的Nirvana和Foo Fighter等国际知名的专辑，不可谓不火。

4年后当年的5位年轻小伙中DJ手和贝司手相继离队后，当年被指为追随以KoRn、Deftones和Limp Bizkit为代表的Nu-Metal（新金属）遗风的乐队也重新回到了金属的“正途”。不再有嘻哈的节拍，乐队鼓手Shelton Woolright强调专辑不带任何前缀（比如Nu-），而将就是一张“金属”唱片，并且是张多年后再听仍然醒耳和强硬的专辑。

新专辑中乐队与来自瑞典的制作人Pelle Henrickson及Eskil Lovestrom合作。

Blindspott is a band that will do more than make a dent on NZ music this month – it’ll kick the ass out of the rock scene with their new raw metal album END THE SILENCE.

Their debut self-titled album (2002) achieved one of the highest ship-out & pre-order figures ever seen from a local band, beating legends Nirvana and Foo Fighters to the coveted #1 position in the New Zealand charts.

At the end of 2005 the band started recording their new album with Swedish producers Pelle Henrickson and Eskil Lovestrom, who have worked with bands such as Poison the Well, Refused and Cult of Luna.

Heavy in a way Blindspott only hinted at, this is unashamedly metal, with no need of a prefix. “This album is just a metal album,” says drummer Shelton Woolright. “It doesn’t really fit into a genre, like the whole Emo sound that’s around now. This will be an album you’ll be able to put on years later and it’ll still be refreshing and solid.”
